A person needs a life style change (food, rest, exercise) to lose weight and keep extra weight off. Quick fixes/diets don't work because once you're done then you go back to the same eating style that got you fat in the first place.
5 Things NOT to do for Weight Loss: 1) Liposuction 2) Crash Diets low cal diets 3) HCG injections 4) Fat Burners 5) Exercise w/o changing your eating habits.
@@Justherechatcaffeine beverages and random assorted herbs. They don't create a caloric deficit, they just have the ability to give you energy and potentially reduce hunger.
@caleighhh5935 they referred to them as over the counter pills or supplements you take to increase fat metabolism or expend energy, impair fat absorption, increase weight loss, increase fat oxidation during exercise, or somehow cause long-term adaptations that promote fat metabolism. The natural fat burners like Cayenne Pepper pill are natural; therefore, they are less threatening to your body. Some are too harsh because certain manufacturers put excessive amounts of caffeine and unnatural chemicals in them, and it can be an overload on your heart.
This is the truth. I have been excersising for yrs and didn't move the scale. Feb of 2023 I decided to couple IF with high protein diet with the same excersise and I was shocked at my 18lb loss for the yr. YES..your eating habits has to change!
@@WendyPendy26 Its because enough protein do 2 things. Repairs body, including homones and enzymes and have big thermic effect. So if you eat protein, 25 pct of energy in this protein must be taken from other body source, if you have right now glucose above gluconeogenesis baseline (4-5 grams of glucose in whole body), this glucose will be used to burn this protein. If you have insulin resistance, most obese people have, your body cant reach to fat for energy, so eating protein can make you low in energy, because burning this fat, only one source for your body is gluconeogenesis production, so good idea right now is start giving your body some fat, to be used as energy source for burning this protein. If you have not insulin resistance, your body can take energy from your fat storage whenever it needs. But in this case, you will not be obese. Obesity equals high blood sugar or high insulin getting rid of this high glucose not belonging to your body. People know exactly how much glucose needs right know, makes by gluconeogenesis perfect amount fo you. So only way to lean body is some form of keto diet, but with fats instead of carbs as energy source. Much energy dense source, full of vitamins / minerals. Processed carbs are empty calories leading to malnutrition, second part of obesity.
im a licensed fat loss trainer and i can say from personal and my clients experience...yes you absolutely can loose weight with training because you 1) build up muscle which burns more calories passively when inactive and even more when active 2) you can tripple your daily caloric need without toomuch trouble if you do long light cardio sessions. And i doubt you eat tripple your need.
@@grummelameise im not saying its a bad idea to change your diet. Indeed your diet got you to your weight so changing it is a good idea. that said regular training makes most people change their diet by themselves cause they want to see more results from training and get their personal high score beat, so they start eating less crap and more healthy. The thing i take issue with is the very prominent idea that you cant outperform a bad diet. You absolutely can. Triathletes eat spaghetti carbonara and thick pizza cause they burn up to 9000 kcal on training days and need to eat that somehow. They are almost muckbangers. That said you dont need "the energy" for this either. All i did to loose 80 pounds was switching from watching tv and playing video games on the couch to do the same on a hometrainer....e voila. problem solved.
How much and how often should we train? I've been fat since childhood 😪 I have tried all the diets!! But haven't done a ton of workouts.... I was unfit even as a kid I couldn't run without losing my breath and turning red. Now I'd like to improve my strength even if it doesn't reshape my body, but l would be so happy if I could lose 2 or 3 inches from my belly 😢.should l do core exercises or cardio?
@@a2isha ok so short answer: - if you build up muscle as in hypertrophy training, you will automaticly burn more calories at rest and with wahtever you do active so that helps to loose fat -all muscles are good but in special large ones so glutes, legs in general,somewhat chest, belly and back. not so much arms but why not. - cardio is great for health but for burning fat you should workoput at around 50-60% of your max heartrate so usually around 120-130 bpm, if you break a sweat but can still talk - its fine. i recommend low intensity but long workouts - an hour walking doesnt burna s mucha s an hour running but 2 hours walking beats an hour of running. that said be careful with your joints, if you are overweight it might be wiser to do cycling and swimming until you loose some weight and strengthen your leg ligaments. -weight loss also happens in the kitchen, try eating more vegetable, fruit and proteine and less bread, high processed foods (fast &junk food) - DONT do diets they usually suck. its better to change your habits a bit. dont go crazy, if you want chocolate and ice cream eat it just...eat less of it and enjoy. - try to not drink your calories so avoid milk, juices, sodas (unless they are zero sugar or low calory like 3-4 calories / 100ml is ok) - drink 3-4 litres of fluids a day, ideally green tea, ginger tea, peppermint, black tea , black coffee. - drink cold. your body needs 1calroy to heat up 1litre by 1 degree so you can burn about 100kcal a day just from drinking your drinks with some ice. - eat hot. and i mean spicy. chili, onions, pepper, curry - the hotter the more you burn while digesting. - weight loss is about being persistant. small changes really add up even if they dont look like much ion their own. walking tot he shop nstead of car, takign stairs instead of lift - it really adds up. -try to make your life you enjoy more active. ima gamer so i get a controller and play from a hometrainer. i also got a minio trainer for under the desk while at the office. heck youc an just stand instad of sitting when watching tv or walk in place.
@OrkarIsberEstar so to gain muscle do you think I MUST eat 100g protein per day? I weigh 190. Thanks. Also anything that will help my stomach specifically? The rest of my body is pretty good, all my fat is in the tummy. 😨
Yes. It's hard to know what's crap and what's real anymore! I've discovered Dr. Ben Bickman who's got great videos and he shares the receipts where he gets his info. I find his sources credible and info very helpful!
I respect you as a doctor and I appreciate your concern for your patients. I can see that you truly care. In my experience after I had my 3rd child in October 2010. In January of 2011, 3 months after giving birth I started using the HCG injections along with the 500 calorie diet which is basically starvation! 😬Although in saying that, from January 2011 to June 2011, I lost a total of 70 lbs. I gained 60lbs during my pregnancy but still lost 70 lbs. After I discontinued the injections, I added more calories to my diet including lean meat, vegetables of any kind and all of the fruit that I could get my hands on. After a month of adding more calories to my diet I got on the scales and had continued losing more weight! That blew me away because my bodies metabolism went through the roof and I continued losing even more weight. I actually lost 9 more lbs. At that point I thought I was way to skinny and added more food to my diet to regain those 9 lbs. I don’t know all of the Science behind it, but with my experience, I lost more weight than I anticipated and felt wonderful! I have fibromyalgia and the diet took away my pain! I kept my weight off for 5 years. After those 5 years I went through a period where I couldn’t sleep! I was hospitalized with insomnia and was on seroquel in order to sleep! It took 2 years suffering with insomnia for the doctors to finally prescribe this medication!! I was so thankful to finally sleep again. Here’s the bad part! After taking seroquel for 3 months, I gained 50lbs. At the present time I am 40 lbs overweight but I CANNOT live without my sleep meds! Seroquel messes with the hunger center of your brain and let me tell you. I would wake up in the middle of the night and devour anything that I could get my hands on!! 😩In 2019 I had to fight that hunger for months which was almost impossible. I started taking HCG again and lost 30 lbs. Fighting through the night time hunger while on HCG was horrible, but I did lose 30lbs before vacation. Right after vacation, I gained every bit of my weight back. When I ate whatever I wanted during vacation, it was impossible for me to get back on the HCG. Not because it didn’t work for me, I was just simply burnt out trying to eat the same food again!! Now here in 2022, I don’t even know where to start.
hCG worked wonders for me too. I lost 40 lbs in my first month. That was in 2008. I just ordered hCG online the other day and started my first injection today.
You are absolutely right and vary rarely have I seen a channel provide information I agree with. 👍 I lost over 159lb about 20 years ago. Good luck everyone.
Ive been eating healthily for years, about 1500 kcal a day. Been sedentary for 1.5 years after an injury. 2 weeks ago I started 30 mins of exercise a day. I am rapidly toning up and my body already looks leaner when I look down and in clothes. You can just see it/ feel it in yourself. Wish I’d not been scared to do it sooner but it’s a journey, am grateful to have started
I lost 110 pounds by cutting out all sugar and most carbs. I cannot exercise and the weight came off in less than 18 months ago. That was 1 1/2 years ago and the weight has not come back.
@@grummelameise Its not mystery, processed junk foods are engineered to gain weight. Add carbs and salt together, remove fat and you have recipe for obesity. Eat fats and proteins (fatty beef steak) and you will loose weight very quickly. Find some natural occuring food full of carbs. If there are some, only in part of the year, not all day long every day. If its on shelf in store doesnt mean you can eat it.
Yay!!! I love seeing someone speaking out that exercising isn't the only way to lose weight. How food works with the body is so weird and specific. I've seen people eat the same amount of food but different effects on myself and others, and I've studied nutrition a bit (actual university courses).
In 2012 I lost 89lbs in 5 months doing the HCG injections! It worked great for me and took away my appetite! And I didnt do any exercise the whole time! ☺
Yes exercise won’t change the scale much, but building muscle will change your body’s composition if calorie intake remains the same. While this will not change the scale much, it will change your body fat percentage.
Completely agree. Exercise is amazing for body composition, shape, conditioning, mood, etc. Preserving lean mass, via resistance training, is essential when losing weight and I recommend it to all my patients. But nutrition is still the key to losing weight!
I did HCG for 30 days. I lost 35 lbs, but the most amazing part was that my inflammation and fatigue plus all the chronic pain I was in disappeared! I hadn’t been up the stairs to the second floor of my house in 3 years. One day, about 3 weeks into the program, I ran- ran up the stairs with no pain, no stiffness and it was like I was 20 years old again!! I was so excited I ran back down and started jumping around in front of my husband yelling‘look at me, OMG ! Look!!’ After the 30 day trial was over, I slowly started getting stiff, painful and full of inflammation again. It took about 9 months to be a mess once more. 😭😭😭. Whatever was in that, my body seriously needed. I haven’t been in good health since. 😢
I never would have described my Medifast experience as a crash diet. I did the Medifast program years ago. It was a wonderful experience...and I wasnt starved. The program had Coach/nutritionist who tailored my program based on my body type, composition, activity level, and when I got back to advance activities we shifted from calorie counting to learn about balancing macros and they helped me with healthy snacking options. I did start off lower calorie, and lost 40lbs, but once my activity level advanced to HIIT with Orange Theory Fitness...low calories were not an option and they recognized that quickly. My Coach at Medifast helped me navigate a 3000 calorie higher protein nutrient dense diet and I continued to see inches just fall off, without weight change but great muscle tone. I say all this to say, with Medifast it really depends on nutritionist you see and how you advocate for your needs.
I haven’t tried medifast but I did nutrisystem for a bit and the calories recommended for me lined up exactly with what was recommended by the tdee calculator. It’s not great long term as it’s processed food but it was a convenient way to get used to smaller more appropriate serving sizes. When people say it’s too low calorie It just makes me think they don’t know how it actually works.
I went low carb, then carnivore. I lost 50 pounds in 2014, then an additional 30 pounds since. I can go up and down ten pounds over holidays, but then lose it in two months. I went from 243 to 155. I am no longer pre diabetic. I went through menopause in 2020. Keto and carnivore restored my health.
I’ve heard a lot of doctors say they don’t recommend Lipo for weight loss not because it doesn’t help you to lose weight but because it could leave loose skin. They believed the intention of Lipo is to just help a problem area or two, I’m pro lipo lol
Lipo is often not recommended because many people think it's permanent not realizing or acknowledging that many times obesity is a lifestyle issue such as having little to no exercise before and after lipo.
When I hit a hold of my diet I noticed a big difference in my weight loss. The struggle and temptation is everywhere and I ended up doing a kitchen cabinet purge (donated anything unopened the rest went to family)to aid in resetting my eating habits.
Facts learned from exercise without changing my diet. Intense exercise without changing diet, caused me to eat less and have more energy. Probably all of the water I drank.
@Cervin_Suisse nope. 1 maybe 2 hours of exercise leaves 22 hours in a day. I never spent 2 straight hours eating and I work as a cook. So I spend no less time around food.
I was put on a 1000 calorie a day diet by a dietitian. After the 6th week I finally lost 2 pounds. My doctor told me to stop the diet. I tried weight watchers and put on weight. Dropping the size of my dinner plate was the best way to lose weight. I eat from a small side plate now.
Obesity is not only about calorie restriction, its about high dense complex foods and proper body nutrition. These high dense complex real foods (eggs, fatty read meat, beef tallow, fish, butter, bacon...) makes you more satisfied for longer time, so in fact you will eat less calories in the same time. Not as hunger making carbs. Complex foods means foods you dont need to supplement by something else. So make these foods 80 - 100 pct of your diet and you are winner. Possible malnutrititon caused by only calorie counting will not improve your health, because your body will not have nutrients to improve you overall health, hormones, enzymes, processes in your body. Your body can repair by itself (and loose weight) but must have enough micro and macro nutrients to do (repaired hormones etc.). Many people starts loosing weight on 3000 calories diet and more, some people must eat 6000 calories a day, but must eat foods not sky rocketing their insulin.
I'm 135 lbs, his father was very thin. I'm trying to help him. He's 22, very amazing man, but very low self esteem. He's almost 500 lbs.. kindest person.
Ironically, he doesn't "fit" that narrative you probably have in your mind. He works full time, and doesn't eat literally all day. There's no hidden food in his room and he's lost a little since this last post. We have started therapy, and are starting with a Bariatric specialist. We lost his dad when he was 10, he's had periods of major depression since then, and his weight fluctuates. He lost 210lbs before the pandemic, but, well...gained that back and then some. He's working on it again.
I'm so tired of trying to lose weight! I exercise for an hour every day, and I try to control my calorie intake, but I only lose a few grams of weight each day. Then I gain it all back the next day.
Medi-Weightloss can work but it attracts “quick fix” people who don’t do the maintenance phase and then do gain all the weight back. Before trying to lose weight I think everyone should live in maintenance for six months first. Maintenance IS easier than calorie restriction, but still take discipline and planning.
My bed ridden, disabled family member lost 400 pounds, most of it without exercise because he could not walk. He did not use the word obese. He used the word FAT. He lost weight because he quit eating like a fat man … that is, he quit overeating. He taught himself how to walk again ( uses a cain), though it’s very difficult. Initially he ate anything in reasonable proportion. The last of the weight came off when he switched to fish ( no red meats or chicken or pork), no processed foods and rarely any sweets. He does have milk, eggs, potatoes, pasta, a lot of salsa, ice cream and few times a month, no juices, ‘some’ dark bread occasionally. He eats like a King, is skinny, not that much fat hanging. He still calls himself a fat man.
100% agree with all points *except* #5. While exercise *generally* does not move the scale needle much, there are exceptions. Cardio interval training, for instance. I lost 15 pounds from that awhile back. *But* there are issues… it’s pretty intense, and some ppl will find it unsustainable, aka not something they’re willing to do long-term (I myself was not able to do it long-term back then, but am strongly considering taking it up again). ‘Cuz if you’re only willing to do something *temporarily,* the weight-loss from doing it will obviously only be temporary as well. 😕
Yeah I'm not sure what angle this doctor is coming from but nutrition is a cold equation of sorts... Sure eat healthy but if you're exercising and the calories you burn exercising is greater than your intake you will certainly lose weight. No doubt about it
No matter what you choose, diet, exercise or meds. Weight loss is not easy. I recently shared my story on my channel, on how I lost 22 pounds in 5 weeks, which could be really helpful to anyone struggling with weight loss.
As a Christian I fast Friday sunset to Saturday sunset (Sabbath). After my first fast I lost a lot of weight and haven’t gained it back since. If you can’t handle a dry fast you can fast with only water!!!!
Fasting in healthy but if people overeat or eat junk the rest of the time it is rather useless. I have seen people fast between sunrise and sunset then pig out and party all night. This defeats the purpose 100%
I been taking vitamins, staying away from sugar, sodas, eating small portions, exercising for years, and playing sports nonstop, but nothing works. I still have a lot of belly stubborn fat, and the only thing I bern considering is liposuction.
The only way I lost weight was 600-800 calories a day. I kept it off too I needed to see quick results, or I would just fall back into old eating habits. I never bought any program, or used any company supplied food. I just found I don't need to eat so much 1200 calories, or 2000 calories whatever you want to say it is way too much for me. I'm small person only 5.6 about 5.5 which is short for a man. I think that is where I always gone wrong listening to the so called "Experts". The end goal is weight loss I dropped 50 lbs. in the first 4 months about 10lbs a week. I'm not hungry or weak. The truth is humans lived on this planet long before doctors ever knew anything.
The 1st thing to do is cut out all the junk food, sweets, high carbs food and most important stop snacking. 2 meals a day only if possible and NO FOOD in between.
I just have to say that I’m sick and tired of this lipodystrophy. I eat so friggen well, I could teach my doctors. This visceral fat makes me feel and look fat while I’m quite thin. Nearly no carbs, low fat, 90% organic foods, fresh vegetables and fruit. I feel good but this gut fat really bothers me. My endocrinologist is sending me to an obesity clinic. My BMI is 18.5. 🙄
Fasting definitely helps you control yourself so as not to eat poorly, fasting is more for the mindset vs weight loss, so when you're ready to return to a normal eating pattern you've control over your choices vs falling into bad habits.
I did the HCG injections and “diet” years ago. I was so irritated all the time and I even remember my doctor asking me why am I on it and she’s pretty sure there’s no clinical reviews that it actually works. I did lose some weight, but that’s because I was in such a crazy deficit (500 cal per day). Miserable way to try and lose weight. I found eating healthy and just dropping alcohol from my diet helped me lose 70 lbs and get back down to my normal 145 lbs!
Dropping alcohol was a great move, congrats ! So many more things can be given up too. Sweets, snacking on junk, eating between meals, etc... There is a pallet of possibilities really.
I have been burning an extra 200 calories a day through exercise for about 13 months, which is 75,000 calories or just about a twenty pound deficit over a year. I’ve lost more like 10-12 pounds, but the first thing that the consistency with exercise helped with was stabilizing my weight. It took a solid six months before I really saw results. If you *only* added exercise, but you did religiously for long enough, you would see some weight loss, slowing down of gain, or stabilization. It’s math, but it’s a long term deal.
Did you try changing the food you eat ? You might have seen the results in 3 weeks rather than 6 months. That's what I did I lost 40 lbs in 3-4 months.
Or the main thing people have to do they have to quit eating fast foods they have to quit eating sweets sodas junk food pasta limit how much you eat a pasta go to salads go to barbecues but stop eating sweets chips donuts soda pop but God bless for the people who try🙏♥️
Do the natural Lipo drink plenty of water (8cups) eat vegetables and low calorie foods cut out bread pasta potatoes milk meat all sugars and coffee. I guarantee you will feel different in a week and in 2 week you’ll see a difference in your appearance 😉
I do fat burners and cardio along with intermittent fasting that helped me lose weight. Then add high protein meals and you gain muscle. Apple Cider gummies to help with bloating. Anyone that tells me not to do that along with this doctor then what else do we do to lose the weight??
Realistically what’s the difference between eating 1500 a day of things with a lot of sodium, carbs, and sugar vs 1500 a day of greens, low carbs, and low sugars?
Same input of calories, however carbs will surely move you into the category of people having metabolic issues. At same calorie amount low carb will not make you insulin resistant and make you pile up visceral fat.
Prolonged Water fasting works. POWs lose weight from starvation. Excess stored fat will burn off first before true starvation happens. Im 5"11 and 370lbs. I can go without eating for at least a year likely. I need to be 155-180lbs at my height.
Doc so you're saying diet is the key. Healthy and lean meats, veggies, fruits? Thanks for the advice! Can you please do a video on the 5 things you would always recommend FOR weight loss? Thanks!❤
I lost alot of weight from taking Ozempic. I have type 2 diabetes. Sometimes it kills my appetite so well I force myself to eat. Which is mind-blowing. Usually drinking a meal supplement. I worry about going into diabetic shock. But Ozempic totally balanced my A1C and my blood sugar levels are normal when I test during the day. All my fat is settling around my waist though. So can I take Obvi Collagen to burn only the tummy fat?
59 yrs. 5 7inch and I used to weight 412 and I drop 83 lbs just eating healthy no fry foods no sweets more vegetables and now I weigh 303lbs . But I was told by Gastrol weight Dr. I have lose 30lbs and my knee doctor say to loose 50lbs to get knee replacement surgery. What do not understand my friend she 5ft 2inches she weigh 400 lbs and they did her surgery with out asking her to drop 30 lbs frist. It crazy I feel this reason for their refusal to help me is very sad. I know I'm not eating more then 15,000 per day. I do water excrise because of disability. Who can I talk to about this problem. Every day I'm fighting with the scale. Why do I have to jump to so many hoops. When I'm not 600.lb I'm 305 lbs.
Can you define " no sweets" please ? Also many veggies contain a lot of carbs, which are all converted to sugars by your digestive system. Do you eat fast food ? How about pasta, bread, rice, do you avoid those ?
The right fatburner will help as it gets you going, gets you in a better mood and appetite suppressant. As a person that hates cardio and is a little bit on the fat side, my choice of fatburner helps me. It won't help if you just sit still and eat pizza
Correct, most of the time, Exercise won't work, because you're still eating carbs. Carbs literally block your ability to burn fat. You have to burn through all the carbs first, to get to your fat stores. If your eating CICO, you have to starve your body to get it to pull fat from your fat stores to make up for the lack of calorie intake, but this only works for a little while, because your body will adapt to the lower calorie intake. This is called Plateauing, and you stop losing weight. This is were most people get frustrated, give up, and start eating again. The problem is, you maintenance level is you diet deficit. So you go back to eating, your like going to be eating 1500+ plus above your maintenance, so every other day, you'll probably gain 1+ pounds. This will continue till your body adapts to all the extra energy your feeding it. That's yoyo dieting, and why 95% of people fail. If you want to lose fat. Stop eating carbs. Eat foods high in protein, and fat. Your every movement will burn fat for energy. You'll literally turbo charge your exercise, because from the start, you'll be burning fat, because there would be no carbs getting in the way. Also, your health will improve a great deal.
Lift weights, build muscle, eat 1 gram of protein per body weight and be patient doing this the right way isn’t fast but watch the metabolism change for a lifetime.
It’s good to see a doctor not being bribed!! Healthy food choices will save you
Yes !!!! In a world where lash is king it is quite refreshing
A person needs a life style change (food, rest, exercise) to lose weight and keep extra weight off. Quick fixes/diets don't work because once you're done then you go back to the same eating style that got you fat in the first place.

- cardio is great for health but for burning fat you should workoput at around 50-60% of your max heartrate so usually around 120-130 bpm, if you break a sweat but can still talk - its fine. i recommend low intensity but long workouts - an hour walking doesnt burna s mucha s an hour running but 2 hours walking beats an hour of running.
that said be careful with your joints, if you are overweight it might be wiser to do cycling and swimming until you loose some weight and strengthen your leg ligaments.
-weight loss also happens in the kitchen, try eating more vegetable, fruit and proteine and less bread, high processed foods (fast &junk food)
- DONT do diets they usually suck. its better to change your habits a bit. dont go crazy, if you want chocolate and ice cream eat it just...eat less of it and enjoy.
- try to not drink your calories so avoid milk, juices, sodas (unless they are zero sugar or low calory like 3-4 calories / 100ml is ok)
- drink 3-4 litres of fluids a day, ideally green tea, ginger tea, peppermint, black tea , black coffee.
- drink cold. your body needs 1calroy to heat up 1litre by 1 degree so you can burn about 100kcal a day just from drinking your drinks with some ice.
- eat hot. and i mean spicy. chili, onions, pepper, curry - the hotter the more you burn while digesting.
- weight loss is about being persistant. small changes really add up even if they dont look like much ion their own. walking tot he shop nstead of car, takign stairs instead of lift - it really adds up.
-try to make your life you enjoy more active. ima gamer so i get a controller and play from a hometrainer. i also got a minio trainer for under the desk while at the office. heck youc an just stand instad of sitting when watching tv or walk in place.
@OrkarIsberEstar so to gain muscle do you think I MUST eat 100g protein per day? I weigh 190. Thanks. Also anything that will help my stomach specifically? The rest of my body is pretty good, all my fat is in the tummy. 😨
I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed this level of honesty from a Dr in relation to weight loss. I think I see a halo over his head 😇
Yes. It's hard to know what's crap and what's real anymore! I've discovered Dr. Ben Bickman who's got great videos and he shares the receipts where he gets his info. I find his sources credible and info very helpful!
Hmm. My doc is pretty honest about it.
Now that is REAL TALK...!!! Kudos to the Doc☆☆☆
I respect you as a doctor and I appreciate your concern for your patients. I can see that you truly care. In my experience after I had my 3rd child in October 2010. In January of 2011, 3 months after giving birth I started using the HCG injections along with the 500 calorie diet which is basically starvation! 😬Although in saying that, from January 2011 to June 2011, I lost a total of 70 lbs. I gained 60lbs during my pregnancy but still lost 70 lbs. After I discontinued the injections, I added more calories to my diet including lean meat, vegetables of any kind and all of the fruit that I could get my hands on. After a month of adding more calories to my diet I got on the scales and had continued losing more weight! That blew me away because my bodies metabolism went through the roof and I continued losing even more weight. I actually lost 9 more lbs. At that point I thought I was way to skinny and added more food to my diet to regain those 9 lbs. I don’t know all of the Science behind it, but with my experience, I lost more weight than I anticipated and felt wonderful! I have fibromyalgia and the diet took away my pain! I kept my weight off for 5 years. After those 5 years I went through a period where I couldn’t sleep! I was hospitalized with insomnia and was on seroquel in order to sleep! It took 2 years suffering with insomnia for the doctors to finally prescribe this medication!! I was so thankful to finally sleep again. Here’s the bad part! After taking seroquel for 3 months, I gained 50lbs. At the present time I am 40 lbs overweight but I CANNOT live without my sleep meds! Seroquel messes with the hunger center of your brain and let me tell you. I would wake up in the middle of the night and devour anything that I could get my hands on!! 😩In 2019 I had to fight that hunger for months which was almost impossible. I started taking HCG again and lost 30 lbs. Fighting through the night time hunger while on HCG was horrible, but I did lose 30lbs before vacation. Right after vacation, I gained every bit of my weight back. When I ate whatever I wanted during vacation, it was impossible for me to get back on the HCG. Not because it didn’t work for me, I was just simply burnt out trying to eat the same food again!! Now here in 2022, I don’t even know where to start.
hCG worked wonders for me too. I lost 40 lbs in my first month. That was in 2008. I just ordered hCG online the other day and started my first injection today.
I was never on HCG, but used drops
@@alliegator187Greetings how were you able to order it online
You are absolutely right and vary rarely have I seen a channel provide information I agree with. 👍 I lost over 159lb about 20 years ago. Good luck everyone.
How did you do it? I've been overweight since I was a kid and I've spent my entire adult life trying to shake it off😢
Ive been eating healthily for years, about 1500 kcal a day. Been sedentary for 1.5 years after an injury. 2 weeks ago I started 30 mins of exercise a day. I am rapidly toning up and my body already looks leaner when I look down and in clothes. You can just see it/ feel it in yourself. Wish I’d not been scared to do it sooner but it’s a journey, am grateful to have started
I lost 110 pounds by cutting out all sugar and most carbs. I cannot exercise and the weight came off in less than 18 months ago. That was 1 1/2 years ago and the weight has not come back.
Same. I’ve been scared if it coming back. But it hasn’t as long as I don’t over eat
@@purplerider2362, even with all the garbage that's in our food, overeating is one of the reasons we put on weight.
congrats!
@@gusarmstrong563 yeah, so why do we overeat. what a mystry this is
@@grummelameise Its not mystery, processed junk foods are engineered to gain weight. Add carbs and salt together, remove fat and you have recipe for obesity. Eat fats and proteins (fatty beef steak) and you will loose weight very quickly. Find some natural occuring food full of carbs. If there are some, only in part of the year, not all day long every day. If its on shelf in store doesnt mean you can eat it.
Yay!!! I love seeing someone speaking out that exercising isn't the only way to lose weight. How food works with the body is so weird and specific. I've seen people eat the same amount of food but different effects on myself and others, and I've studied nutrition a bit (actual university courses).
#5 is key. Muscle is made in the gym. Abs are made in the kitchen.
😂😂😂
But if you have more muscle you burn more calories.
In 2012 I lost 89lbs in 5 months doing the HCG injections! It worked great for me and took away my appetite! And I didnt do any exercise the whole time! ☺
Well done!
Honestly, we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.
And what was your weight history after you stopped the injections ? If you did that is...
Yes exercise won’t change the scale much, but building muscle will change your body’s composition if calorie intake remains the same. While this will not change the scale much, it will change your body fat percentage.
Completely agree. Exercise is amazing for body composition, shape, conditioning, mood, etc. Preserving lean mass, via resistance training, is essential when losing weight and I recommend it to all my patients. But nutrition is still the key to losing weight!
95/5
This is the ratio of nutrition to exercise to get healthy and get into shape...❤
I did HCG for 30 days. I lost 35 lbs, but the most amazing part was that my inflammation and fatigue plus all the chronic pain I was in disappeared! I hadn’t been up the stairs to the second floor of my house in 3 years. One day, about 3 weeks into the program, I ran- ran up the stairs with no pain, no stiffness and it was like I was 20 years old again!! I was so excited I ran back down and started jumping around in front of my husband yelling‘look at me, OMG ! Look!!’ After the 30 day trial was over, I slowly started getting stiff, painful and full of inflammation again. It took about 9 months to be a mess once more. 😭😭😭. Whatever was in that, my body seriously needed. I haven’t been in good health since. 😢
I never would have described my Medifast experience as a crash diet. I did the Medifast program years ago. It was a wonderful experience...and I wasnt starved. The program had Coach/nutritionist who tailored my program based on my body type, composition, activity level, and when I got back to advance activities we shifted from calorie counting to learn about balancing macros and they helped me with healthy snacking options. I did start off lower calorie, and lost 40lbs, but once my activity level advanced to HIIT with Orange Theory Fitness...low calories were not an option and they recognized that quickly. My Coach at Medifast helped me navigate a 3000 calorie higher protein nutrient dense diet and I continued to see inches just fall off, without weight change but great muscle tone. I say all this to say, with Medifast it really depends on nutritionist you see and how you advocate for your needs.
I haven’t tried medifast but I did nutrisystem for a bit and the calories recommended for me lined up exactly with what was recommended by the tdee calculator. It’s not great long term as it’s processed food but it was a convenient way to get used to smaller more appropriate serving sizes. When people say it’s too low calorie It just makes me think they don’t know how it actually works.
I went low carb, then carnivore. I lost 50 pounds in 2014, then an additional 30 pounds since. I can go up and down ten pounds over holidays, but then lose it in two months. I went from 243 to 155. I am no longer pre diabetic. I went through menopause in 2020. Keto and carnivore restored my health.
Thanks doc!
Liposuction was the one of the best decision I made in life besides working out regularly 💯
I’ve heard a lot of doctors say they don’t recommend Lipo for weight loss not because it doesn’t help you to lose weight but because it could leave loose skin. They believed the intention of Lipo is to just help a problem area or two, I’m pro lipo lol
Lipo is often not recommended because many people think it's permanent not realizing or acknowledging that many times obesity is a lifestyle issue such as having little to no exercise before and after lipo.
Happy for you! Liposuction has a role. It’s just not an obesity treatment.
He said don't do it for weight loss. He didn't say don't do it.
Best teacher 🎉
When I hit a hold of my diet I noticed a big difference in my weight loss. The struggle and temptation is everywhere and I ended up doing a kitchen cabinet purge (donated anything unopened the rest went to family)to aid in resetting my eating habits.
I inherited some very strong thighs and would never be rid of them without lipo. Grateful for this procedure. We should respect each their own
Facts learned from exercise without changing my diet.
Intense exercise without changing diet, caused me to eat less and have more energy.
Probably all of the water I drank.
Or the time you spent exercising rather than snacking ? :-)
@Cervin_Suisse nope. 1 maybe 2 hours of exercise leaves 22 hours in a day.
I never spent 2 straight hours eating and I work as a cook.
So I spend no less time around food.
@@Cervin_Suisse I spend 9 to 16 hours cooking 5 days a week, sometimes 6 or 7 days.
I was put on a 1000 calorie a day diet by a dietitian. After the 6th week I finally lost 2 pounds. My doctor told me to stop the diet. I tried weight watchers and put on weight. Dropping the size of my dinner plate was the best way to lose weight. I eat from a small side plate now.
Obesity is not only about calorie restriction, its about high dense complex foods and proper body nutrition. These high dense complex real foods (eggs, fatty read meat, beef tallow, fish, butter, bacon...) makes you more satisfied for longer time, so in fact you will eat less calories in the same time. Not as hunger making carbs. Complex foods means foods you dont need to supplement by something else. So make these foods 80 - 100 pct of your diet and you are winner.
Possible malnutrititon caused by only calorie counting will not improve your health, because your body will not have nutrients to improve you overall health, hormones, enzymes, processes in your body. Your body can repair by itself (and loose weight) but must have enough micro and macro nutrients to do (repaired hormones etc.).
Many people starts loosing weight on 3000 calories diet and more, some people must eat 6000 calories a day, but must eat foods not sky rocketing their insulin.
I'm 135 lbs, his father was very thin. I'm trying to help him. He's 22, very amazing man, but very low self esteem. He's almost 500 lbs.. kindest person.
I will say a prayer & send positive vibes your way!
Look into semaglutide
Get down to why he has morbid obesity, he needs Therapy also.
What does his diet consist of ? Huge amounts of carbohydrates I gather.
Ironically, he doesn't "fit" that narrative you probably have in your mind. He works full time, and doesn't eat literally all day. There's no hidden food in his room and he's lost a little since this last post. We have started therapy, and are starting with a Bariatric specialist. We lost his dad when he was 10, he's had periods of major depression since then, and his weight fluctuates. He lost 210lbs before the pandemic, but, well...gained that back and then some. He's working on it again.
Optifast..yup, lost 100 pounds. Regained 150.
Exactly ! Nothing can last unless long term dietary changes are made.
I'm so tired of trying to lose weight! I exercise for an hour every day, and I try to control my calorie intake, but I only lose a few grams of weight each day. Then I gain it all back the next day.
As a weightloss specialist, I'm doing 2 things:
1. physical exercise 60-90 minutes/day, 5 days/week
2. eat a carnivore diet, no alcohol, no smoking
Medi-Weightloss can work but it attracts “quick fix” people who don’t do the maintenance phase and then do gain all the weight back. Before trying to lose weight I think everyone should live in maintenance for six months first. Maintenance IS easier than calorie restriction, but still take discipline and planning.
My bed ridden, disabled family member lost 400 pounds, most of it without exercise because he could not walk. He did not use the word obese. He used the word FAT. He lost weight because he quit eating like a fat man … that is, he quit overeating. He taught himself how to walk again ( uses a cain), though it’s very difficult. Initially he ate anything in reasonable proportion. The last of the weight came off when he switched to fish ( no red meats or chicken or pork), no processed foods and rarely any sweets. He does have milk, eggs, potatoes, pasta, a lot of salsa, ice cream and few times a month, no juices, ‘some’ dark bread occasionally. He eats like a King, is skinny, not that much fat hanging. He still calls himself a fat man.
Potatoes, pasta, bread, ice cream... Al those have high carbohydrates content.
100% agree with all points *except* #5.
While exercise *generally* does not move the scale needle much, there are exceptions. Cardio interval training, for instance. I lost 15 pounds from that awhile back.
*But* there are issues… it’s pretty intense, and some ppl will find it unsustainable, aka not something they’re willing to do long-term (I myself was not able to do it long-term back then, but am strongly considering taking it up again).
‘Cuz if you’re only willing to do something *temporarily,* the weight-loss from doing it will obviously only be temporary as well. 😕
Didn't to change your diet ?
God bless your heart ❤️ thanks so very much for being real
Agreed on all counts. Good health is a lifelong marathon, not a sprint!
I used thrive fat burners and i lost 3 stone in weight.
I’m doing exercise without intentionally changing my diet. It’s working for me. Sure it’s slow but I feel so good ☺️
Yeah I'm not sure what angle this doctor is coming from but nutrition is a cold equation of sorts... Sure eat healthy but if you're exercising and the calories you burn exercising is greater than your intake you will certainly lose weight. No doubt about it
@@drwombat Yes but depending on the food you eat you might have to decrease a lot to see any difference. Exercising or not.
No matter what you choose, diet, exercise or meds. Weight loss is not easy. I recently shared my story on my channel, on how I lost 22 pounds in 5 weeks, which could be really helpful to anyone struggling with weight loss.
Thank you ❤
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the great advice!
PROPER tude Doc, wonderful production. Many thanks>
Keeping a calorie budget *and stick to it*, like I keep a financial budget, fixed my weight problem.
As a Christian I fast Friday sunset to Saturday sunset (Sabbath). After my first fast I lost a lot of weight and haven’t gained it back since. If you can’t handle a dry fast you can fast with only water!!!!
You as a Sabbath keeper should not fast on the Sabbath day..look it up..it's in the Bible
Fasting in healthy but if people overeat or eat junk the rest of the time it is rather useless. I have seen people fast between sunrise and sunset then pig out and party all night. This defeats the purpose 100%
Thank you for that valuable information.
I been taking vitamins, staying away from sugar, sodas, eating small portions, exercising for years, and playing sports nonstop, but nothing works. I still have a lot of belly stubborn fat, and the only thing I bern considering is liposuction.
Check your thyroid levels. Might be what's causing ur body to have slow metabolism. That was my issue.
Wow, a doctor that tells the truth and knows what they're talking about!
Bariatric surgery should be at the top of the list
Yes I fully agree, this should be illegal for most cases.
The only way I lost weight was 600-800 calories a day. I kept it off too I needed to see quick results, or I would just fall back into old eating habits. I never bought any program, or used any company supplied food. I just found I don't need to eat so much 1200 calories, or 2000 calories whatever you want to say it is way too much for me. I'm small person only 5.6 about 5.5 which is short for a man. I think that is where I always gone wrong listening to the so called "Experts". The end goal is weight loss I dropped 50 lbs. in the first 4 months about 10lbs a week. I'm not hungry or weak. The truth is humans lived on this planet long before doctors ever knew anything.
The 1st thing to do is cut out all the junk food, sweets, high carbs food and most important stop snacking. 2 meals a day only if possible and NO FOOD in between.
I just have to say that I’m sick and tired of this lipodystrophy. I eat so friggen well, I could teach my doctors. This visceral fat makes me feel and look fat while I’m quite thin. Nearly no carbs, low fat, 90% organic foods, fresh vegetables and fruit. I feel good but this gut fat really bothers me. My endocrinologist is sending me to an obesity clinic. My BMI is 18.5. 🙄
Did you ever look into something called insulin resistance ? That is the 1st thing your endocrinologist should have been looking for.
Fasting definitely helps you control yourself so as not to eat poorly, fasting is more for the mindset vs weight loss, so when you're ready to return to a normal eating pattern you've control over your choices vs falling into bad habits.
I know some trainer who dont ask to follow strict diet or change diet excpet junk food....and they have help to reduce fat effectively
If you eat low card junk it will work ut is not healthy for your future health.
That is so true, about exercise ,it does not loose ,but I fill stronger
Thanks 🎉
phenq worked for me. thanks for the discount link
Best weight loss methods: orange juice, raw carrots, low fat milk, coconut oil, some starches and cod twice a week.
You don't need to be a doctor to know that caloric deficit and exercise is the only way to lose weight.
HCG SAVED MY LIFE. I wish it was still commercially available without going to a doctor.
Very informative. Thanks!
I did the HCG injections and “diet” years ago. I was so irritated all the time and I even remember my doctor asking me why am I on it and she’s pretty sure there’s no clinical reviews that it actually works. I did lose some weight, but that’s because I was in such a crazy deficit (500 cal per day). Miserable way to try and lose weight. I found eating healthy and just dropping alcohol from my diet helped me lose 70 lbs and get back down to my normal 145 lbs!
Dropping alcohol was a great move, congrats ! So many more things can be given up too. Sweets, snacking on junk, eating between meals, etc... There is a pallet of possibilities really.
I’m running everyday and walking for 1 week and I went from 122lbs to 118lbs, it’s not fast but it works
Make sure your hormones are balanced because if not even if you do everything he just suggested you won’t lose weight .
One of these hormones is INSULIN ! Eat low carbs, don't eat between meals, cut out soft drink and alcohol, many options. Don't wait , start today.
All spot on point 👍
So, I can’t outrun my fork? Darn! 😂
I hate that I'm exercising but I can't change my eating habits...argh!
He’s right thank you
I had no idea that they were trying to pass HCG off as a weight-loss thing!! Lol
I just knew he was going to say GLP-1s...Left shocked!
I’ve lost weight on the carnivore diet with very little exercise and feel better than ever.
Love your video
I have been burning an extra 200 calories a day through exercise for about 13 months, which is 75,000 calories or just about a twenty pound deficit over a year. I’ve lost more like 10-12 pounds, but the first thing that the consistency with exercise helped with was stabilizing my weight. It took a solid six months before I really saw results. If you *only* added exercise, but you did religiously for long enough, you would see some weight loss, slowing down of gain, or stabilization. It’s math, but it’s a long term deal.
Did you try changing the food you eat ? You might have seen the results in 3 weeks rather than 6 months. That's what I did I lost 40 lbs in 3-4 months.
I needed this
Fat burner have improve don't help a lot but improves a lot
Great advice 👍
Or the main thing people have to do they have to quit eating fast foods they have to quit eating sweets sodas junk food pasta limit how much you eat a pasta go to salads go to barbecues but stop eating sweets chips donuts soda pop but God bless for the people who try🙏♥️
Following!! I would love to learn more
I love my lipo. I had it don’t in my twenties- stomach still flat as a board. I’m 54 now
Do the natural Lipo drink plenty of water (8cups) eat vegetables and low calorie foods cut out bread pasta potatoes milk meat all sugars and coffee. I guarantee you will feel different in a week and in 2 week you’ll see a difference in your appearance 😉
I was just debating #5 with my know-it-all obese husband and he didn't believe me.
I do fat burners and cardio along with intermittent fasting that helped me lose weight. Then add high protein meals and you gain muscle. Apple Cider gummies to help with bloating. Anyone that tells me not to do that along with this doctor then what else do we do to lose the weight??
Wh take the apple cider in the form of gummies ? To add carbohydrates to your diet ?
*I lost 40lbd in 60 days on HCG & kept it all off for 10+ years!*
That’s a great list!
Realistically what’s the difference between eating 1500 a day of things with a lot of sodium, carbs, and sugar vs 1500 a day of greens, low carbs, and low sugars?
Same input of calories, however carbs will surely move you into the category of people having metabolic issues. At same calorie amount low carb will not make you insulin resistant and make you pile up visceral fat.
Prolonged Water fasting works. POWs lose weight from starvation. Excess stored fat will burn off first before true starvation happens. Im 5"11 and 370lbs. I can go without eating for at least a year likely. I need to be 155-180lbs at my height.
Tryna do a 24 hour.once per week...
That's too drastic. It is possible to lose weight without torturing yourself and living miserably.
Doc so you're saying diet is the key. Healthy and lean meats, veggies, fruits? Thanks for the advice! Can you please do a video on the 5 things you would always recommend FOR weight loss? Thanks!❤
5 things I WOULD do for weight loss. #doctor #5things #weightloss #obesity #weightlossjourney

I lost all my weight on HCG worked fine
He didn't say it didn't work, he said he didn't recommend doing it. Did you stop the injections ? If yes what happened to your weight afterwards ?
You can't outrun a bad diet.
L-Carnitine is the doormat to the mitochondria which can benefit burning calories = not a silver bullet.
What is your advice on loosing weight while on Depakote ER?
#5 - What if you gain muscle by strength training? That won’t help to burn calories?
I lost alot of weight from taking Ozempic. I have type 2 diabetes. Sometimes it kills my appetite so well I force myself to eat. Which is mind-blowing. Usually drinking a meal supplement. I worry about going into diabetic shock. But Ozempic totally balanced my A1C and my blood sugar levels are normal when I test during the day. All my fat is settling around my waist though. So can I take Obvi Collagen to burn only the tummy fat?
59 yrs. 5 7inch and I used to weight 412 and I drop 83 lbs just eating healthy no fry foods no sweets more vegetables and now I weigh 303lbs . But I was told by Gastrol weight Dr. I have lose 30lbs and my knee doctor say to loose 50lbs to get knee replacement surgery. What do not understand my friend she 5ft 2inches she weigh 400 lbs and they did her surgery with out asking her to drop 30 lbs frist. It crazy I feel this reason for their refusal to help me is very sad. I know I'm not eating more then 15,000 per day. I do water excrise because of disability. Who can I talk to about this problem. Every day I'm fighting with the scale. Why do I have to jump to so many hoops. When I'm not 600.lb I'm 305 lbs.
Can you define " no sweets" please ? Also many veggies contain a lot of carbs, which are all converted to sugars by your digestive system. Do you eat fast food ? How about pasta, bread, rice, do you avoid those ?
This is good to know, but I'm here because I searched for weight reduction for my car 😅
The right fatburner will help as it gets you going, gets you in a better mood and appetite suppressant. As a person that hates cardio and is a little bit on the fat side, my choice of fatburner helps me. It won't help if you just sit still and eat pizza
What are you using?
@@soffiyanomeefano4128 the one I got and best one for me is from the brand Dark Labs and is called Herolean.
@@soffiyanomeefano4128Try metformin it won’t burn fat but suppress appetite mostly. It may make you poop more than usual.
What SHOULD I do? It’s all so confusing!
Correct, most of the time, Exercise won't work, because you're still eating carbs.
Carbs literally block your ability to burn fat. You have to burn through all the carbs first, to get to your fat stores.
If your eating CICO, you have to starve your body to get it to pull fat from your fat stores to make up for the lack of calorie intake, but this only works for a little while, because your body will adapt to the lower calorie intake.
This is called Plateauing, and you stop losing weight. This is were most people get frustrated, give up, and start eating again.
The problem is, you maintenance level is you diet deficit. So you go back to eating, your like going to be eating 1500+ plus above your maintenance, so every other day, you'll probably gain 1+ pounds. This will continue till your body adapts to all the extra energy your feeding it.
That's yoyo dieting, and why 95% of people fail.
If you want to lose fat. Stop eating carbs.
Eat foods high in protein, and fat.
Your every movement will burn fat for energy. You'll literally turbo charge your exercise, because from the start, you'll be burning fat, because there would be no carbs getting in the way.
Also, your health will improve a great deal.
DOC: THANKS
Lift weights, build muscle, eat 1 gram of protein per body weight and be patient doing this the right way isn’t fast but watch the metabolism change for a lifetime.
I lost a bunch of weight by eating less and working out every 2 days.
Fasting, high protein, low carb, and no seed oils equals weight loss.
