re: Need advice to lose 40-50lbs

Start by seeing a doctor that specializes in obesity medicine. Everyone is so quick to offer solutions, but the best obesity MDs start with assessment to individualize treatment AFTER understanding you and your history. Obesity is a disease. You likely have this disease. You have probably tried many times to use will power to overcome this disease with multiple approaches to no avail. Go see a specialist and get on a real path to a sustainably healthier life.

Not everyone that is overweight has the disease of obesity. Some patients with the disease of obesity are capable of overcoming the symptoms of it through will power masquerading as fad diets or “move more eat less” routines. The majority of patients with the disease of obesity are not able to sustainably overcome it(and that is ok).

Everyone should eat healthy, exercise, and follow sound medical advice to treat ANY and ALL diseases that can threaten life or quality of life…to the best of everyone’s ability and access.
