Patient discussion about reducing diet.

Q. How is it possible to have permanent weight loss if dieting slows down metabolism? well, i know that eating less will have the body adjust to the new calorie intake and thus, no further weight loss. So how is it possible to have permanent weight loss if eating less doesn't work? Please give tips and suggestions, people who have successfully lost weight. thanks so much!

A. You touch an aching fact…our body is a genius machine that is built to save energy. When we loose fat tissue it stops sending a hormone named “Leptin” that is a one of the hormones that control our metabolism. The idea is to know this fact and continue with your diet as planed. A well balanced diet that is followed with regular physical effort will not loose weight as fast as it did on the first 2 months, but it’ll eventually do so. After loosing weight the important thing is to continue the life style you adapted until your body will regulate the amount of leptin it needs. Leptin is the cause people gain back their weight after a diet.

Q. Diet & exercise do not help with weight loss since being on psyc. meds. Any suggestions?

A. L-carnitine and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) can be helpful for fat loss. Studies are mixed, but I find them to be effective.

Try cutting out grains (rice, corn, wheat) and eat vegetables and fruits for carbohydrates instead.
