I’m going to contact my last nutritionist

I was seeing this nutritionist who is also an MD and she one day decided out of the blue to prescribe me Ozempic, an injectable diabetes drug that is sometimes used for weight loss promotion.
I freaked out and all of a sudden stopped seeing her.
Well it’s months later, and I need someone who will monitor and coach my progress.
I’ve decided to call her up again and use her as my nutritionist.
I know how to lose weight I just need someone who will serve as a motivator to help keep me on track.
I’m going to turn down any medication she suggests to me.

I’ll be honest with how I feel about being prescribed weight loss medications with her.

Yeah… I’ll call her today.

I’m also going to suggest going on a low carb diet.

Good for you :slight_smile: If you want to suggest low carb that’s fine. But she is a nutritionist and it’s probably best to let her tell you what she thinks will work best. Good luck!!!

Best of luck with her @Wave .

I’m back calorie counting after a Christmas break. I’d like to lose another 10kg (22 pounds) this year (2022).

I don’t blame you for freaking out about the diabetes meds.

Thanks @everhopeful and @LilyoftheValley
Yeah I’ll let her tell me which diet I should be on @LilyoftheValley, you are right.

That’s good that you are back to counting calories @everhopeful, this is what I’m doing too.
I try to keep it around the 1700 calorie range for the day.

That sounds a bit low. It might be difficult to maintain and then you’ll give up calorie counting.

Try this calculator to see how many calories you can eat , and pick the easiest option.

I used the calculator @everhopeful
Thanks.
No it’s about right.
I usually try to shoot for 1700 calories but I’ll end up a bit higher normally.

I have to lose at least 1 pound a week

It’s an emergency

My last nutritionist was the spitting image of Salma Hayek. I ate nothing but carbs for two months just so I could see her again.

No I’m doing more research on the diabetes drug and many people are losing lots of weight on it.
I can take it for my diabetes and obesity.

I made an appointment with her and I will discuss it with her further.

Yes, I just may take it.

I am dangerously obese and could die of a heart attack or stroke anytime.

This drug also prevents heart disease.

I had a cheat day yesterday. My cousin and sister came over and we ordered pizza from Pizza Hut. I don’t think I’ll eat much today to compensate.

I don’t go to a nutritionist. The last dietician I went to was very overweight herself and kept saying that I couldn’t eat anything. Just a soup and 2 slices of bread as dinner. I prefer doing things on my own with calorie counting apps and such.

I have to see this one obesity specialist who is also a nutritionist/dietician.

She’s a doctor, MD and prescribes weight loss medications to treat obesity.

I need medical intervention at this point.

I am afflicted with various obesity related conditions including fatty liver disease, an enlarged heart, diabetes type 2, high blood pressure, high lipid count and atherosclerosis.

This is a fukking emergency as my BMI is over 35.

My grandmother had a BMI of over 40. Her doctor kept saying she needed to lose weight, but she wasn’t able to. She became 84. Bless her heart.

I wish you good luck in losing weight, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. That is also not healthy.
