MY 400 LB LIFE: I SAW AN OBESITY DOCTOR TODAY
2019-03-18 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 23 min
Chantal (Foodie Beauty) describes her first visit to a weight management/obesity clinic where she saw a medical doctor and a nutritional counselor. The doctor diagnosed an eating disorder, discussed medication options and the possibility of bariatric surgery down the line, and referred her to an eating-disorder clinic. The clinic provided a tailored meal-and-activity plan emphasizing controlled servings across food groups, a 12-hour eating window, and blood-sugar/insulin considerations similar to low-carb approaches. She reports a body-composition assessment with a current weight of 369.7 lb, a goal amount of body-fat loss (162.3 lb), and plans to follow the clinic program, track a food diary, shop at Costco, and return for a follow-up on April 8.
