[quote=Anonymous]Thanks to those sharing about Dr Anchors.  His sounds like a very intriguing, if one-size-fits-all, and possibly only short-term, approach.

For those asking about alternatives, the National Center for Weight and Wellness in DC is very good.  I think one of the docs there used to run the GW program.  Dr Kahan is great.  They have a bunch of different approaches and professionals - docs who can prescribe appetite suppressants, therapists who can address emotional eating, people who can help with exercise and training obstacles, people who can teach healthy grocery shopping, mindfulness training, etc.  They are in favor of exercise and good, varied nutrition.  They don’t sell food supplements or drugs.  You start off spending at least $600, which is somewhat covered by insurance, for a lengthy assessment of your individual situation, and then go from there.  Their website has a lot of information and I think there are free weekly info sessions one can attend.

They’ve prescribed appetite suppressants for me that have been very helpful, but in lower doses than Anchors and with slower progress.  It’s an approach I’m comfortable with for the long term.   I have to admit to a bit of jealousy over the rapid results the Anchors people have gotten, but I like feeling like I’m working with a very mainstream medical practice (I was sent there by my very mainstream downtown DC internist) and doing things I can do forever while feeding my family a normal varied diet.  They seem to tend to start with Qysmia or Belviq or Contrave, the new drugs approved in the past few years. not phentermine.  I suspect that if phentermine and antidepressants, which have been around for decades, were really magic bullets, the obesity crisis would never have happened.

Just another alternative to consider.  Thanks for the info everyone has shared.  [/quote]
