Question 2

Im a 47 yr male heavy set but healthy as for my physical. i exercise everyday walking lifting jogging ect.. i can't lose weight?

Accepted Answer

As we get older, we tend to become Insulin resistant.  Metformin acts like a metabolic rejuvenator, and restores Insulin sensitivity.  I recommend 500 mg metformin three times daily.  Metformin will normalize blood sugar, but will not cause hypoglycemia.  My non-diabetic patients on metformin invariably feel better, have more energy, lose their carbohydrate cravings, and lose body fat.

Question 3

Why women out there can't lose weight despite healthy diet and exercise?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss it s not as easy at it seems. If someone is morbid obese it is very difficult to exercise so burning calories it s almost impossible. Also lack of motivation is another reason. Healthy food is more expensive than junk food and requires time for cooking. If you want to loose 6 or 8 pounds this can be achieved with diet exercise and motivation. When you want to loose 50-60 pounds is hard.

Question 4

Good diet, exercise, tried everything in the world, can't lose weight, gain a few pounds; ate "junk" food and lost a few pounds. what is this?!

Accepted Answer

to justify the eating of junk food rather than significantly decreasing your total food intake, eating high quality food and exercising more to lose weight and live healthier the rest of your life. You're looking at a coincidence to justify your current unhealthy behavior.

Accepted Answer

you want to see your doctor for assessment and routine tests, as thyroid function tests, lipid profile, hemoglobin A1c, etc, or any other tests needed after history and physical examination, then a dietician consultation would be helpful, good luck

Question 6

I am  overweight, eat healthy, exercise but still can't lose weight. i really need help. ?

Accepted Answer

Basic biology tells us that if you eat more calories than you use, you gain weight. If you eat less calories than you use, you lose weight.  Make sure you've done a calorie diary so that you know how many calories you're actually eating each day. Then see your doctor with the information & estimate your calorie use. You doctor can be of great help here. Certain metabolic diseases can cause it too.

You just need to start slowly and build up on a constant but persistent basis. Also, keep a careful inventory of what you eat. There are good apps that can track your daily calories and this can be very helpful. There are also medicines that can help. Also, very important to diagnose and treat any underlying diseases such as sleep apnea, diabetes, etc. Please see your doctor.

Question 8

Can't lose weight, i'm 135 lbs, normally 120 lbs. healthy diet. i exercise, starved myself thyroids are normal. could it be i am magnesium deficient ?

Accepted Answer

Inbility to lose weight means you need to get a resting metabolism rate done to see what you can eat to maintain weight vs lose weight.  Also subclinical thyroid is important to treat as well as adrenal fatigue which can cause weight gain or difficulty losing weight and vitamins.  Magnesium can help with insomnia, anxiety, muscle cramps but not with weight loss.  Food intolerances r a possiblity.
