find medical weight loss doctor clinic to get phenteramine

Anonymous wrote:...I was 100 pounds overweight and I was on a “healthy” eating regime with low fats, 1000 calories, lots of exercise, and in six months I lost three pounds. My one doctor was dismissive and told me to “put down the sandwich and do better”. Another doctor diagnosed me with PCOS and I switched to a low-carb, much higher calorie diet and I lost 70 pounds in seven months and my blood cholesterol levels went from crap to excellent.

How low carb did you go? Would you mind sharing details about your updated diet that led to weight loss?

I don’t think weight loss is that complicated. You’re in control of what you weigh.

I eat three normal meals a day of smaller portions. If I go out to eat, I eat half of the entree. I don’t snack ever and I rarely drink. It’s pretty simple.

It’s eye opening going somewhere like a chilis. You look around and everyone is overweight and they are all eating large plates of unhealthy food. I’ve never met anyone overweight who doesn’t overeat.

Clinics? Any ideas of places in Germany? I have been looking, although not necessarily for a fast.

I hate myself. Please help. I want more from life.

I literally thought I wrote this. Same.

For me, what works is having everything plotted out so I don't need to make choices throughout the day. I do IF and my breakfast is always black coffee. I have a few lower-calorie but still filling lunch options that I rotate through (mostly salads with protein). For dinner I eat what my family eats, but not too much. I have a piece of chocolate or a popsicle for dessert and I don't eat after that. I go on my exercise bike after the kids are in bed.

I do basically the same thing every weekday. It sounds boring but for me it's much easier than going into each day not knowing what I will eat and how I will stay on-track. I loosen up a bit on weekends.

My friend went from 220 to 150 using weight watchers. It's straightforward, but if you stick to it, it works. You can also choose whether or not you want to do it alone or have a community (and you can choose online or in person).

Someone here recommended the weight loss for busy physicians podcast. I’m not a physician, but I like it.

In a nutshell, she focuses on addressing your thoughts/behavior to reduce eating when you’re not physically hungry.

GLP1 med plus exercise. You’ve got this.

Hi OP, I haven't read the whole post, but just wanted to throw out something I started a few weeks ago and have been happy with, the FASTer Way program. It feels a little MLM and is not cheap ($199 for 6 weeks), but I have been doing IF and watching macros and I feel pretty good. I'm eating so much better and I'm full (I actually have to eat more at the end of the day to reach my macros!). I'll likely continue counting my macros on MFP and not continue the program, but it's a great way to start macros counting (rather than calorie counting which I always hated and always felt like I was starving).

18 lbs. in 14 weeks is not slow at all.

Depends on how heavy the person is to begin with.

5’8, start weight was 203. Woman.

So yes an average of 1.28lbs a week for someone technically obese is a very healthy weight loss rate. That’s an average of cutting 640 calories a day out of your diet. Certainly not dramatic by any stretch at that starting weight.

Now if you were losing that and going from 158 down to 140 that would be extremely difficult and might not be the best.

Hi OP, at age 40 a few years ago I lost 60 lbs in a year. (5'3" and I went from 175 to 115.) I actually lost the first 35 lbs in the first 4 months and then the remaining 25 throughout the rest of the year.)

I cut out pretty much all calories from drinks (so no starbucks drinks, alcohol) except for a rare treat. I cut out all sweets/desserts, again except for a rare treat. Otherwise, did not cut out whole groups of foods, but generally went heavy on proteins, good fats.

I did IF - I had only black coffee for breakfast, lunch at around noon, a mid-afternoon snack, and dinner at 6ish. No snacking/eating after dinner (drank tea or flavored water if I got hungry).

I automated my lunches -- so throughout the year I rotated on a weekly basis between four lunches that I knew the calories count for and that I really liked. Two were salads, one was like a snack plate, the fourth was a wrap. Prep was easy since I ate the same thing for a week.

I also automated my PM snack by the week (again making prep easy). It was always high protein/fat to help me feel full -- hard-boiled eggs, plain greek yogurt, nuts, etc. The PM snack was so key for me; without it I was ravenous by dinner and more prone to make bad choices.

Dinner was always a smallish (but not too tiny) portion of what my family was having, maybe with some small modifications (like no side of garlic bread on pasta night).

Automating lunch and snack might sound boring, but it takes all the pressure of having to make a million "good" choices throughout the day away; it reduced some of the "food noise", if you will.

And IF was very helpful because what I was really doing was CICO, and it's just another easy bright-line rule -- no choices needed -- way to reduce calories. It also leverages the fact that you are less hungry in the morning.

I did very little exercise (really just running around after my kids and some light walks at lunch). I wish I had done more but it was an insanely hectic time in my life.

That's what worked for me. It did involve feeling hungry at times. I've kept it all off the past three years. I still do IF during the week , no longer on weekends, and I eat very little sweets. I'm mindful of portions too, but otherwise much less restrictive. I'm also able now to get much more exercise.

PP here, a couple of my healthier eating go-tos... a couple eggs for breakfast, a homemade smoothie as the main component of lunch, and for dinner I like those pre-made salad packs in the produce section of the grocery store (esp. poppyseed), but combine them 50/50 with a bag of fresh baby spinach (and thus even only using half at a time it's still a large salad portion). I'll often supplement with a pretty small portion of chicken tenders or spaghetti or whatever I'm making my kids for dinner so that the bulk of my meal is healthier (the salad), but I also don't feel like I'm completely depriving myself.

Snacks I try to have apples, maybe a handful of almonds, etc. but the key thing is also drinking lots of water. I keep bottles of "Hint" brand flavored water in the fridge (I can only drink so much unflavored water). Not only is drinking water healthy, but it helps assuage your appetitie / feelings of hunger to a degree.

I do eat other less healthy things plenty of the time too, sometimes I'm making my kids burgers and I just really need/want one too, or occasionally splurge on some ice cream in the evening, etc... but I find trying to be too absolutist about it just makes me rebel and/or give up... so it's all about making those changes and having some of your food intake be healthier, but not absolutely depriving yourself of joy either because that's not sustainable.

Anyway, that's what's working for me. My weight is not falling off a cliff, but nearly 20 pounds during the 5 months I've been doing this seems pretty good progress for a program that I'm able to fit into my life and sustain long-term. Whatever changes you make have to be long-term, and anything too drastic is IMO a recipe for eventual failure.
