I have completely changed my entire diet to healthy foods (and changed my portion sizes) and on my own I lost 30 lbs, and then I started Ozempic and I've lost another 29 lbs in my first two months. I can't wait to see what the next two months on ozempic look like!
I have lost 61 pounds on my own. Recently, I hit a wall, and weight is not moving much. I applaud anyone who fights their way back to healthy, be it sheer willpower or chemical assistance. In the end, we all want to feel good and think good about ourselves....but I'm gonna keep trying on my own. Just wish it would go a little faster.
Hi there thanks for the tips. My question is if you eat sugary food but but still have less calories in versus healthy food but but have the same calories in and out are the same? I guess what I really want to know is which is worse being overweight or eating healthy foods? I’m completely with you on maintenance. I had a gastric balloon and I felt awful and yes it worked while in place but crept back on and now back to where I started. But in the long term I only lost pounds (cash)
Thank you for making this❤ I am new here! I started at 233 lbs. I am down to 176 current. Height is 5’7. I eat super clean. Low carbs. Almost zero refined sugar. Let all sodas go for my coffee and oat milk. No sweeteners. No drive thru foods. I intermittent fast. Lots of fruits. Lots of veggies. Working out 5 days a week. I start semaglutide Monday ! I’m aiming to lose 20 more and I’ll be where I want to be! That’s my goal weight. I’m also hitting between 10,000 and 12,000 steps a day. Burning at least 600 calories on my watch. I don’t eat pork. I’m also using orgain organic whey protein. And a superfoods greens powder In my smoothies. If you have any good stuff I might be missing please let me know.
Hi congrats on your weight loss! How long did it take you to go from 233lbs to 176lbs? Also are you diabetic or using these injections for weight loss? Let me know
@@DebbieQueen-hf8yu hello! I have been on my weight loss journey a little over a year now. Since I made this post I have stopped taking the injection about two weeks ago! I have gotten a kidney infection from the shot and currently on antibiotics from it. It made me feel terrible the last week I was on it and got really sick and had to make a trip to the ER. I am not a diabetic. I don’t encourage people to take this shot as I have learned from taking it and getting it into my body it really messed my internal gut health up. Your body is not suppose to slow down the process of breaking down foods and that left me feeling quite miserable all the time!! Since stopping the shot I have regained my energy. I have also lost weight since stopping the shot. I am currently 167lbs. I eat very clean and manage my portions well. I also intermittently fast. All in all it’s all about balance and doing what is best for your body and you will win every time. I’ve also started a keto diet and it seems to be very affective and NATURAL.
@@ToniMichellee thank you for responding back. I’m actually diabetic and was on Ozempic for a year but my weight loss was VERY MINIMAL. I’ve lost about 20 lbs which I’m thankful for but I thought it would be More weight loss than this but I’m seeing than I need to make more effort in what I actually eat. After starting Ozempic my appetite diminished greatly however, after about 9 months my appetite increased so now I’ve been put on Moujaro mainly because of trying to get my A1C down. Again thank you for your encouraging story, I hope that I will make better strides in accomplishing a lower A1C and loosing some more weight.
I agree with most of your recommendations, apart from your suggestion to avoid full fat dairy . Full fat cottage cheese and greek yogurt are great sources of protein and calcium. Fats from grass fed , organic , free range beef , lamb and protein are healthy and help lessen blood glucose spikes .
Of course full fat dairy is an option if you are ok with the cholesterol levels being higher and aren't looking to reduce cholesterol intake but does reduced fat dairy have less protein? I mentioned grass fed sources of protein are preferred as well!
@@GoodDrG The low fat versions don’t have less protein, but they are higher in carbohydrates . Sugars play a very prominent role in heart disease , more so than dietary cholesterol and can lead to insulin resistance which is bad for cardiac health and everything else . Also the fat in full fat dairy , helps to reduce the glucose spike in a meal that is high in carbohydrates if one chooses to consume them .
My son is a truck driver long distance for UPS..Tues 3am through Friday/Saturday at 12am/3am..depends on loads...every Monday he goes to this restaurant that has meals 5/$40...he orders 10 meals n freezes , has a small fridge/freezer on his rig...hes lost over 30 lbs in last 6 months doing this n carries a case of water for the week...great to plan
Great videos - I have a mentally challenged daughter who has just started Ozempic and these videos are perfect for her - down to earth and easy explanation which is what she needs to help her understand.
This was soooooo helpful!! I mean from A-Z!! Covered it all! I’m encouraged and resetting my mind and revamping my lifestyle! I did this when I started Ozempic in September and lost 49lbs in 3 months but fell off and stopped Ozempic due to insurance issues. I’m back on it now and it doesn’t seem to be working. My Dr just upped my dose to the 1.0( was currently just taking .50) but I see this is probably the main reason it wasn’t working. Thank you so much for this impactful information
Thank you I take Ozempic but must remember that sleeping 7 hours, muscle training and aerobic activity help. Allulose is a natural sweetener and works like a GlP1 category. I am a new subscriber.
I just stumbled on this page today, trying to jump start better eating due to high aldosterone level,but the Dr. Told me immediately start immediately healthy life style changes, ive always been large in height 5'10 from 4th grade until now at 55, i dont eat sweets,i dont eat red meat( not ever) no rice ( but live for pasta)on occasion I 'll have 1 drink with friends(holidays, drinking justs not my thing) i dont exercise an occasional walk in woods(live nature) i figure i work in nursing home and i manually lifting all the time thats my exercise. Now at 290 i must do something because of the high aldostrone, so iam getting a lot of eating tips, thanks everyone that commented abd telling your experience.🎉

Thank you so much for the advice! I've been on a tirzepatide compound for about 2 months now and down 19 pounds, the only thing my nurse practitioner told me was to consume more protein.
I was on tirzepatide but got it from Mia Aesthetics. I purchased the 3 month supply for $1500. I started it on June 29th. My last shot was supposed to be on September 7th but I had enough left for one more shot. So I completed the 3 month supply on September 14th. My weight when I started was 238 and I weighed myself today and my current weight is 209. I did change the way I eat. I ate once a day between the hours of 3pm-6pm. And I ate only Gardein plant based food and my veggies were broccoli, Brussels, zucchini and squash. And for my protein I would have a protein shake. I didn’t do exercise at all. I just started an exercise routine last week and I’m going to get another 3 month supply because it really does work and just continue to exercise. I was wearing a size 3x or size 18/20. I’m now in an L/Xl or size 16. My thighs got slimmer and I lost inches off my waist and my back isn’t BIG
To quote the nutrition part from Greg Glassman - Fitness in 100 words: „Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. „ I think that sums it up perfectly.
@@altanett Plant based protein?!?! But usually has a higher carb content for the same amount of protein and you need to mix them up (usually) to get a full EAA (essential amino acid) profile with your plant based protein sources (plural).
I have been on mounjarno for 3 months and I also take a mental health medication. Before taking mounjarno I gained 30 lbs in a year from the mental med. I am not seeing any real weight loss but I am not gaining any more weight either. I’ve lost about 10 lbs in the 3 months. Any suggestions? I just found your page and going to take some suggestions about foods and exercise you’ve posted.
Welcome! I would start with the same things I usually recommend. Take an inventory of your current nutrition for two weeks minimum in an app like my fitness app or lose it. From there you can see where your issue is. Is it calorie intake, calorie expenditure or both. Then fine tune the macros. Finally work on barriers to meaningful lifestyle changes you can maintain for the long term.
Ahhh, I know that issue, too. I gained 80 lbs. in 4 months when I was put on Risperdal for my Bipolar Disorder 1. That was 20 years ago and just got fatter and fatter. I refuse Risperdal now when the hallucinations visit, but thank goodness there are other newer meds to take. I am on Mounjaro and I do want to say that some people take longer to get going, it might take a couple three dose increases before you see much change. 10 lbs is nothing to sneeze at, though! That is fantastic! Remember, that psych meds often cause severe carb/sugar cravings and it can be a challenge to ignore that part of our brains begging for it. This is often helped by higher dosages of GLP-1s, too. Always, always talk to both your psych and prescribing doctor about what is going on with your body. You are on the right track, I promise!
Hello I saw your comment I started taking monjaro and I have been fasting with it the first week I lost 25lbs I told myself I would only eat if I felt hungry the first week I didn't feel hungry so I fasted 6 days on water and the six day I drank liquid IV which is electrolyte water. The seventh day I drank soup took my shot started on 2 nd week I ate broth and salad and lost 10 lbs the next week I fasted 5 days still only salad lost 6 lbs the last week of the month I just drank water and had salad with chicken breast chopped lost 5 lbs! I did this because I wanted to loose 50lbs before my v s g surgery. I wasn't asked to loose weight before the surgery I just felt people at lower weights have better results faster! But since I had the surgery they said focus on protein so in 2 weeks I only lost 5lbs. But the good thing is I could barely walk and I was able to walk in the grocery store I couldn't believe I walked through the whole supermarket! So gym is in my future 😊❤
Good afternoon doc i was scrolling through UA-cam one day and i just started to listen to you ,you are GENUINE I just wish my daughter struggling with diabetes could be your patient she is 24 with a lot of issues
I appreciate you taking the time to comment and also for watching the content. I know there are other docs out there who approach medicine in a practical and patient friendly manner like I do so I hope finds one of those docs wherever you are! ✊🏾
I started out on Ozempic in January or February at around 285 pounds I in July I was down to about 250 I also switched to Mounjaro in July or August today I’m down to 221 pounds huge difference in the way my close fit I now have to tie my sweatpants tight before I didn’t have to tie them at all. Money is tight so I don’t wanna buy new clothes till I loose more weight so I don’t have to keep buying new clothes as I loose it. The 230s was very slow to come off but the 220s is coming off pretty quick not sure why it works out that way but I’ll just be glad to get down to 199 I just wanna see the scale start with a 1 instead of a 2 as I can’t remember ever weighing less then 250 in my life and never see the scale start with 100 anything before
Thanks again doc! Giving into temptation occasionally to keep this sustainable is ok. I’m down 55 pounds. I am Good 85% of the time. Glad to know that’s ok.
I really appreciate you. Will try to work the coaching call into my schedule. I am shocked that so many of us are left on our own to figure this out. I wouldn't be fat if I could have figured this out. Been dieting my entire life
I hope for anyone taking ozempic, that it doesn’t have any negative long term side effects. I believe heavily in the old saying of “anything that sounds too good to be true, usually is.”
Hey there! I’m with you. I hope there aren’t any terrible side effects either. We know quite a lot about the meds at this point. The general public may have just started to recognize the name when they hear it but they have been around for close to 20 years now. There are things that sound good and really are good! Time will tell I guess! Have an amazing weekend!
I love these things you say. You really are an awesome doctor. I cannot cook my own foods for a variety of reasons that cannot be changed. I eat Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice and a couple of other high protein ready-made meals. I never finish the dinner. _Never_ because I am so full and satiated. I look forward to other high protein choices like the new Nestle dinners due out by the end of the year. I bought a loaf of bread and had one slice for tuna salad half-sandwich, and ended up forgetting I had it and when I saw it, it was green with mold. Out it went. Changed my diet 180 degrees after heart and lung issues in 2022. Trulicity for a year starting in July 2022, now Mounjaro since Sept. 2023. HgbA1c down to 5.1 from 9.0 two years ago. All labs are amazing now. Horrid before. I was 405 lbs (BMI 76.5) two years ago and today am 166 (BMI 31.2). I am alive in a way I never was before... a life of enormous clinical obesity was wasted because I failed at everything I tried (including Fen-Phen and an RNY Gastric Bypass). Finally, it was _REALLY_ not my fault. Something I knew inside, but no studies validated. Now I have medication for my life... not just diabetes and weight loss... but my LIFE. I Am Alive! Thank you again for speaking about all things GLP-1. You are fantastic.
calories v carbs when it comes to low fat food. Low fat yogurt has more carbs. I love yogurt, but have to stay away from it because i over do it and with the sugar and carbs, cant do it. Great video.
I cook 👩🍳 daily fresh for my husband/ organic food 🍱😅😅😅👏 He is diabetic and takes ozempic since 3 years He used to be 185 kilos Now he has 161 kilos Iam female non diabetic and weight 108 kilos 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Hi Doc! Love your channel, really helpful for lifestyle changes. Question! How far under a calorie deficit is ok? I think I heard the general -500 daily but is it ok to go lower?
Hey there! Depends on what your current intake is and what your final goal. Also important to take into account how deep seated your barriers to change are. To answer your question A deficit of as little as 150 cal/day is enough to start and I’ve had patients have to go to as high as 1000 cal/day.

Hey Doc and UA-cam family. I'm literally starting my Ozempic journey tomorrow (I'm picking up my prescription today). Can you give me some examples of Full Fat Dairy foods please?
New subscribers!!!!! I love your channel Dr. G. I’ve been on Mounjaro for about 10 months. I’ve lost about 40 pounds. My A1C is 5.0. It’s never been normal since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes over 20 years ago. Had a bout with enlarged prostate. Number was out of wack for a while. It’s now 5.5. With those victories, my blood pressure is still rather high. I don’t understand why. I’ve just been referred to a Cardiologist to see if my combination of high blood pressure medication is right for me. Gonna check out your videos to see if you address my issues. Thank you for the awesome information. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I am such a sugar addict. :(. I am hoping semidgglutide will help. I gave up sodas no issues. candy & cake? uggg I keep a fruit bowl...Gonna try grapes. I probably need 7 step program! The little manderins can help sometimes.
Great high protein snack!! You can typically get 10-12 grams per serving. The key with jerky is finding the ones that are zero additives. You will have to pay a bit more but there a few good ones out there!
@@GoodDrG awesome, because I do opt for chomp, which does have high in protein (10-12g) and low in calories, (100) do you recommend any other beef jerky, turkey jerky?
Are zero sugar creamers ok with coffee? I am on week two of Moujarno (2.5) and have lost 6lbs. Pretty sure water weight but I will take it :). Is it normal to alway feel hungry(in my mind) but my stomach feel somewhat full. I make sure to drink at least 80oz of water per day if not more. I include Propel with zero sugar (1-2) per day. I make sure that if I eat yogurt it is zero sugar. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?

The problem is no one is going to sit down and count calories. Also i have seen studies thar show calorie counting not only is ineffective but everyone has different calorie needs
Hey there! This is a completely self defeating mindset. You can’t mean “no one” will count calories because just about all my patients do (at least the first 2-4 weeks and whenever they plateau). Could it possibly mean you can’t or don’t want to? Also,, please share the source of the studies stating calorie counting is “ineffective” for weigh loss. Thank!!!
@@GoodDrG www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5639963/ There are many more especially when it comes to difference of processing calories due to genetics or even the reported calories and general nutritional values on products being at best not correct. There are also several studies debunking held beliefs on metabolism as well. I'm not talking about the body shape nonsense either. The whole calorie intake method has been largely discredited for years. It doesnt account for many biochemical processes or genetics. I'm not saying it cant help but even the principal its based on is already an inaccurate fallacy. Not everyone needs what is it 1000 to 2400 calories a day. Some need alot more or alot less. I'm not by any means trying to say that you're not a professional but there is far more than oh count calories. Its the reason why we still dont know much about how metabolism works and what affects it.
Can you do a video about the acid reflux that happens while on medication. I have been suffering bad every day. Dr. Told me it will go away as I loose more weight.😢😢😢
I’ve been ozempic for 2 months. The first month I lost 21 lbs. the second month I’ve only lost 3 lbs. I’m eating about 700 calories per day. I’m to full to eat. I don’t understand why so little weight loss this month. Please tell me what to do to get the weight moving again. Thank you.

Eating too little will put your body in starvation mode so you will hoard the fat. Look for higher calorie foods if you can't eat or eat small bits all day.
700 cals is way too low. Your body thinks you are starving and you have hit a plateau. You want to trick your body so it no longer thinks you are starving. Try alternating your calories. It's fine if you have 700 calories on a no excersize day but introduce weight training and/or body resistance excersize. On weight training days (3-4x per week), make sure you get at least 100 g of protein and at least 1300 cals. The body uses 30% more energy to process protein ( ie. Higher calorie burn, thermogenic) The huge weight loss you experienced initially due to starving yourself resulted in your body lossing muscle weight. This is always bad because muscle keeps your metabolism up, you lost muscle and now your metabolism has taken a dive. Update us once you are able to modify. If you are unable to eat, your dose is too high for you, it should suppress appetite, not eliminate it.
Hello I was 21'11 now I'm 20'4 but seems to have stuck at losing weight... It's week 3 on semaglutide I eat 2 grenade protein bars through my day and at 5pm when home from work I have 2 pieces of chicken and half a tin of Heinze baked beans and drinking roughly 2L to 4L of water.... Any tips or ideas please ?
@@GoodDrG I don't like to cook meals so drinking a replacement meal like slimfast is not good at all? I have a shake for breakfast and lunch. I eat dinner, thanks.
@@JP-vv2jm I won't say its "no good". I'm saying it is preferable to consume your macros(protein) from food. The science suggests its a better more usable form. Some nutritionists are completely against protein in the form of shakes as a way to complete your required daily intake.
@@GoodDrG wow thanks for the prompt answer & hope yall are safe in Florida. Yeah, I recently started on Ozempic, and Lipo-B shots as of today, on a weekly basis. I am still super new to all the meal planning & nutrition, which can a bit overwhelming. Especially when I was mostly skinny or fit most of my life, then I enter 30, and a bit of life happens, and I am 2 times my original size...lol

Wanted to learn more about semaglutide because my doctor discussed this in my recent visit. She offered this as an option and allowed me the opportunity to think about it. I fell off from working out and eating properly. In researching, I found your and Dr. O's videos, which have been SO easy to understand. Thank you for these. What hilarious is you mentioned to NOT get your medication from the person in the dollar store, then an advertisement offered semaglutide for purchase. I mention this to say, I will never understand how anyone can be brave enough to purchase items WITHOUT a professional prescription. Thank YOU for your videos. Your videos are great.
Hahaha honestly most people go that route out of desperation and or lack of access. Others are looking for an easy route. No matter the reason it’s not a good idea.
That’s an inaccurate myth. Milk contains 12 grams of sugar ( in the form of carbohydrate) per cup. This is the case whether we're talking about whole milk, 2% milk, 1% milk or skim milk. Also, whole milks carries a lot more calories in the form of fat than skim.
I used ozempic/mountari shots for two months, and Icould no longer afford the &250.00 a week.Now I'm trying to eat like I was while seeing my doctor.Do you think I will be sucessful without the shots?
Should I promote a donut? We are talking about making lifestyle changes in people who have a bad emotional problems with food. This won’t be everyone just those who get up in the middle of the night and would usually emotionally eat thousands of calories out of the fridge. No one should be worried about a small serving of fruit in comparison! Thanks for the comment and I hope you got more out of the video!
@@glaubhafieber maybe that was a problem at the start but I’m going to guess it’s not as big an issue anymore. Insurance companies have Caught on and I can’t tell you the number of prior authorizations my office does a week for patients who have clear indications. Insurances are checking.

How inspiring! I just lost 30 lbs. and am soon starting Zepbound. Thanks for posting!
Wow well done you! X
Hi there thanks for the tips. My question is if you eat sugary food but but still have less calories in versus healthy food but but have the same calories in and out are the same?
I guess what I really want to know is which is worse being overweight or eating healthy foods?
I’m completely with you on maintenance.
I had a gastric balloon and I felt awful and yes it worked while in place but crept back on and now back to where I started. But in the long term I only lost pounds (cash)
Yes I started losing weight and then I started taking the medication. It helps.
Thank you for making this❤ I am new here! I started at 233 lbs. I am down to 176 current. Height is 5’7. I eat super clean. Low carbs. Almost zero refined sugar. Let all sodas go for my coffee and oat milk. No sweeteners. No drive thru foods. I intermittent fast. Lots of fruits. Lots of veggies. Working out 5 days a week. I start semaglutide Monday ! I’m aiming to lose 20 more and I’ll be where I want to be! That’s my goal weight.
I’m also hitting between 10,000 and 12,000 steps a day. Burning at least 600 calories on my watch. I don’t eat pork. I’m also using orgain organic whey protein. And a superfoods greens powder In my smoothies. If you have any good stuff I might be missing please let me know.
Ummm you are killing it!!!!!!!✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Hi congrats on your weight loss! How long did it take you to go from 233lbs to 176lbs? Also are you diabetic or using these injections for weight loss? Let me know
@@DebbieQueen-hf8yu hello! I have been on my weight loss journey a little over a year now. Since I made this post I have stopped taking the injection about two weeks ago! I have gotten a kidney infection from the shot and currently on antibiotics from it. It made me feel terrible the last week I was on it and got really sick and had to make a trip to the ER. I am not a diabetic. I don’t encourage people to take this shot as I have learned from taking it and getting it into my body it really messed my internal gut health up. Your body is not suppose to slow down the process of breaking down foods and that left me feeling quite miserable all the time!! Since stopping the shot I have regained my energy. I have also lost weight since stopping the shot. I am currently 167lbs. I eat very clean and manage my portions well. I also intermittently fast. All in all it’s all about balance and doing what is best for your body and you will win every time. I’ve also started a keto diet and it seems to be very affective and NATURAL.
@@DebbieQueen-hf8yu ?
@@ToniMichellee thank you for responding back. I’m actually diabetic and was on Ozempic for a year but my weight loss was VERY MINIMAL. I’ve lost about 20 lbs which I’m thankful for but I thought it would be More weight loss than this but I’m seeing than I need to make more effort in what I actually eat. After starting Ozempic my appetite diminished greatly however, after about 9 months my appetite increased so now I’ve been put on Moujaro mainly because of trying to get my A1C down. Again thank you for your encouraging story, I hope that I will make better strides in accomplishing a lower A1C and loosing some more weight.

I love it for you!! Keep making the small positive changes you can see yourself maintaining for the long term! You can do it! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Having boiled eggs on hand and string cheese is really helpful. Berries are great too.
Sounds great!
😂 id rather starve them eat boiled eggs 🤮
@@daciasdiy1861 Mmmmm boiled eggs 😋😋😋
String cheese? What is that? Grated? Sorry I'm Aussie lol
isn't string cheese processed. Just asking because if i can eat them, its a win for me
I agree with most of your recommendations, apart from your suggestion to avoid full fat dairy . Full fat cottage cheese and greek yogurt are great sources of protein and calcium. Fats from grass fed , organic , free range beef , lamb and protein are healthy and help lessen blood glucose spikes .
Agreed sometimes I question this guys credentials
Of course full fat dairy is an option if you are ok with the cholesterol levels being higher and aren't looking to reduce cholesterol intake but does reduced fat dairy have less protein? I mentioned grass fed sources of protein are preferred as well!
@@GoodDrG The low fat versions don’t have less protein, but they are higher in carbohydrates . Sugars play a very prominent role in heart disease , more so than dietary cholesterol and can lead to insulin resistance which is bad for cardiac health and everything else . Also the fat in full fat dairy , helps to reduce the glucose spike in a meal that is high in carbohydrates if one chooses to consume them .
My son is a truck driver long distance for UPS..Tues 3am through Friday/Saturday at 12am/3am..depends on loads...every Monday he goes to this restaurant that has meals 5/$40...he orders 10 meals n freezes , has a small fridge/freezer on his rig...hes lost over 30 lbs in last 6 months doing this n carries a case of water for the week...great to plan
Great videos - I have a mentally challenged daughter who has just started Ozempic and these videos are perfect for her - down to earth and easy explanation which is what she needs to help her understand.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ geez.
This was soooooo helpful!! I mean from A-Z!! Covered it all! I’m encouraged and resetting my mind and revamping my lifestyle! I did this when I started Ozempic in September and lost 49lbs in 3 months but fell off and stopped Ozempic due to insurance issues. I’m back on it now and it doesn’t seem to be working. My Dr just upped my dose to the 1.0( was currently just taking .50) but I see this is probably the main reason it wasn’t working. Thank you so much for this impactful information
You are so very welcome!!! Good luck on your journey and I hope you can find some more good tips on the channel!
Thank you I take Ozempic but must remember that sleeping 7 hours, muscle training and aerobic activity help. Allulose is a natural sweetener and works like a GlP1 category. I am a new subscriber.
Thanks for sharing! Thanks for subscribing!!
I just stumbled on this page today, trying to jump start better eating due to high aldosterone level,but the Dr. Told me immediately start immediately healthy life style changes, ive always been large in height 5'10 from 4th grade until now at 55, i dont eat sweets,i dont eat red meat( not ever) no rice ( but live for pasta)on occasion I 'll have 1 drink with friends(holidays, drinking justs not my thing) i dont exercise an occasional walk in woods(live nature) i figure i work in nursing home and i manually lifting all the time thats my exercise. Now at 290 i must do something because of the high aldostrone, so iam getting a lot of eating tips, thanks everyone that commented abd telling your experience.🎉
Welcome to the channel and thanks for sharing your experience! The basis of your desired transformation is simple. Lifestyle Modification! Some folks need medications to make it happen and some dont. Find out what your barriers are and devise a plan to defeat them. If you need help I offer individual and group lifestyle modification coaching. Good Luck on your Journey!
If you have a sweet tooth, buy sugar free jello! It really helps me when I crave something sweet. Also, Crystal light in your water bottle!
Low carb is the way to go.
Agree for most folks!! Carbs is where we all seem to overdo it in our nutrition
Thankyou, doctor. Started following you, and you're doing a very good job for the community.
So nice of you! I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for the advice! I've been on a tirzepatide compound for about 2 months now and down 19 pounds, the only thing my nurse practitioner told me was to consume more protein.
I was on tirzepatide but got it from Mia Aesthetics. I purchased the 3 month supply for $1500. I started it on June 29th. My last shot was supposed to be on September 7th but I had enough left for one more shot. So I completed the 3 month supply on September 14th. My weight when I started was 238 and I weighed myself today and my current weight is 209. I did change the way I eat. I ate once a day between the hours of 3pm-6pm. And I ate only Gardein plant based food and my veggies were broccoli, Brussels, zucchini and squash. And for my protein I would have a protein shake. I didn’t do exercise at all. I just started an exercise routine last week and I’m going to get another 3 month supply because it really does work and just continue to exercise. I was wearing a size 3x or size 18/20. I’m now in an L/Xl or size 16. My thighs got slimmer and I lost inches off my waist and my back isn’t BIG
@@zipporahalexander6523 congratulations on your weight loss. What type of protein shake did you drink?
To quote the nutrition part from Greg Glassman - Fitness in 100 words:
„Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. „
I think that sums it up perfectly.
Precisely...brilliant 💪😎
Due to health reasons what is an alternative for meat/protein
@@altanett Plant based protein?!?! But usually has a higher carb content for the same amount of protein and you need to mix them up (usually) to get a full EAA (essential amino acid) profile with your plant based protein sources (plural).
I just came across your channel this have definitely help me... Thank you Sir... Your Awesome..😁😊👏👏
Voice of reason. I really appreciated your approach (from a real doctor)!
Very much appreciated!
Thank you so much for helping me gain insight to where I need to improve my eating habits. Along with exercise and change my mindset.
I have been on mounjarno for 3 months and I also take a mental health medication. Before taking mounjarno I gained 30 lbs in a year from the mental med. I am not seeing any real weight loss but I am not gaining any more weight either. I’ve lost about 10 lbs in the 3 months. Any suggestions? I just found your page and going to take some suggestions about foods and exercise you’ve posted.
Welcome! I would start with the same things I usually recommend. Take an inventory of your current nutrition for two weeks minimum in an app like my fitness app or lose it. From there you can see where your issue is. Is it calorie intake, calorie expenditure or both. Then fine tune the macros. Finally work on barriers to meaningful lifestyle changes you can maintain for the long term.
Ahhh, I know that issue, too. I gained 80 lbs. in 4 months when I was put on Risperdal for my Bipolar Disorder 1. That was 20 years ago and just got fatter and fatter. I refuse Risperdal now when the hallucinations visit, but thank goodness there are other newer meds to take. I am on Mounjaro and I do want to say that some people take longer to get going, it might take a couple three dose increases before you see much change. 10 lbs is nothing to sneeze at, though! That is fantastic! Remember, that psych meds often cause severe carb/sugar cravings and it can be a challenge to ignore that part of our brains begging for it. This is often helped by higher dosages of GLP-1s, too. Always, always talk to both your psych and prescribing doctor about what is going on with your body. You are on the right track, I promise!
Hello I saw your comment I started taking monjaro and I have been fasting with it the first week I lost 25lbs I told myself I would only eat if I felt hungry the first week I didn't feel hungry so I fasted 6 days on water and the six day I drank liquid IV which is electrolyte water. The seventh day I drank soup took my shot started on 2 nd week I ate broth and salad and lost 10 lbs the next week I fasted 5 days still only salad lost 6 lbs the last week of the month I just drank water and had salad with chicken breast chopped lost 5 lbs! I did this because I wanted to loose 50lbs before my v s g surgery. I wasn't asked to loose weight before the surgery I just felt people at lower weights have better results faster! But since I had the surgery they said focus on protein so in 2 weeks I only lost 5lbs. But the good thing is I could barely walk and I was able to walk in the grocery store I couldn't believe I walked through the whole supermarket! So gym is in my future 😊❤
@@dealjunkie7950 AMAZING. Increase the protein tho!!
Only Bupropion/Wellbutrin didn’t gain weight and even lost.
Good afternoon doc i was scrolling through UA-cam one day and i just started to listen to you ,you are GENUINE I just wish my daughter struggling with diabetes could be your patient she is 24 with a lot of issues
I appreciate you taking the time to comment and also for watching the content. I know there are other docs out there who approach medicine in a practical and patient friendly manner like I do so I hope finds one of those docs wherever you are! ✊🏾
I started out on Ozempic in January or February at around 285 pounds I in July I was down to about 250 I also switched to Mounjaro in July or August today I’m down to 221 pounds huge difference in the way my close fit I now have to tie my sweatpants tight before I didn’t have to tie them at all. Money is tight so I don’t wanna buy new clothes till I loose more weight so I don’t have to keep buying new clothes as I loose it. The 230s was very slow to come off but the 220s is coming off pretty quick not sure why it works out that way but I’ll just be glad to get down to 199 I just wanna see the scale start with a 1 instead of a 2 as I can’t remember ever weighing less then 250 in my life and never see the scale start with 100 anything before
Thanks again doc! Giving into temptation occasionally to keep this sustainable is ok. I’m down 55 pounds. I am Good 85% of the time. Glad to know that’s ok.
THANK YOU DOC!!! This is amazing information! ❤
You’re Welcome!
I really appreciate you. Will try to work the coaching call into my schedule.
I am shocked that so many of us are left on our own to figure this out.
I wouldn't be fat if I could have figured this out. Been dieting my entire life
Great video! Life style planning points for what to eat best ever!
Yes! Thank you!
Thank you for all your great tips
You are so welcome!
I hope for anyone taking ozempic, that it doesn’t have any negative long term side effects. I believe heavily in the old saying of “anything that sounds too good to be true, usually is.”
Hey there! I’m with you. I hope there aren’t any terrible side effects either. We know quite a lot about the meds at this point. The general public may have just started to recognize the name when they hear it but they have been around for close to 20 years now. There are things that sound good and really are good! Time will tell I guess! Have an amazing weekend!
I love these things you say. You really are an awesome doctor.
I cannot cook my own foods for a variety of reasons that cannot be changed. I eat Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice and a couple of other high protein ready-made meals. I never finish the dinner. _Never_ because I am so full and satiated. I look forward to other high protein choices like the new Nestle dinners due out by the end of the year.
I bought a loaf of bread and had one slice for tuna salad half-sandwich, and ended up forgetting I had it and when I saw it, it was green with mold. Out it went.
Changed my diet 180 degrees after heart and lung issues in 2022. Trulicity for a year starting in July 2022, now Mounjaro since Sept. 2023. HgbA1c down to 5.1 from 9.0 two years ago. All labs are amazing now. Horrid before.
I was 405 lbs (BMI 76.5) two years ago and today am 166 (BMI 31.2).
I am alive in a way I never was before... a life of enormous clinical obesity was wasted because I failed at everything I tried (including Fen-Phen and an RNY Gastric Bypass). Finally, it was _REALLY_ not my fault. Something I knew inside, but no studies validated. Now I have medication for my life... not just diabetes and weight loss... but my LIFE. I Am Alive! Thank you again for speaking about all things GLP-1. You are fantastic.
WOOOOOOW! What a story! I love this!

Congratulations! That is an amazing story. Keep up the success!

calories v carbs when it comes to low fat food. Low fat yogurt has more carbs. I love yogurt, but have to stay away from it because i over do it and with the sugar and carbs, cant do it. Great video.

Hi Doc! Love your channel, really helpful for lifestyle changes. Question! How far under a calorie deficit is ok? I think I heard the general -500 daily but is it ok to go lower?
Hey there!
Depends on what your current intake is and what your final goal. Also important to take into account how deep seated your barriers to change are. To answer your question A deficit of as little as 150 cal/day is enough to start and I’ve had patients have to go to as high as 1000 cal/day.

The problem is no one is going to sit down and count calories. Also i have seen studies thar show calorie counting not only is ineffective but everyone has different calorie needs
Hey there! This is a completely self defeating mindset. You can’t mean “no one” will count calories because just about all my patients do (at least the first 2-4 weeks and whenever they plateau). Could it possibly mean you can’t or don’t want to? Also,, please share the source of the studies stating calorie counting is “ineffective” for weigh loss. Thank!!!
@@GoodDrG www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5639963/
There are many more especially when it comes to difference of processing calories due to genetics or even the reported calories and general nutritional values on products being at best not correct. There are also several studies debunking held beliefs on metabolism as well. I'm not talking about the body shape nonsense either. The whole calorie intake method has been largely discredited for years. It doesnt account for many biochemical processes or genetics. I'm not saying it cant help but even the principal its based on is already an inaccurate fallacy. Not everyone needs what is it 1000 to 2400 calories a day. Some need alot more or alot less. I'm not by any means trying to say that you're not a professional but there is far more than oh count calories. Its the reason why we still dont know much about how metabolism works and what affects it.

Eating too little will put your body in starvation mode so you will hoard the fat. Look for higher calorie foods if you can't eat or eat small bits all day.
700 cals is way too low. Your body thinks you are starving and you have hit a plateau. You want to trick your body so it no longer thinks you are starving. Try alternating your calories. It's fine if you have 700 calories on a no excersize day but introduce weight training and/or body resistance excersize. On weight training days (3-4x per week), make sure you get at least 100 g of protein and at least 1300 cals. The body uses 30% more energy to process protein ( ie. Higher calorie burn, thermogenic) The huge weight loss you experienced initially due to starving yourself resulted in your body lossing muscle weight. This is always bad because muscle keeps your metabolism up, you lost muscle and now your metabolism has taken a dive. Update us once you are able to modify. If you are unable to eat, your dose is too high for you, it should suppress appetite, not eliminate it.

Are slimfast shakes good to drink when taking mounjaro?
Not preferable. Better to eat your Macros as much as possible.
@@GoodDrG I don't like to cook meals so drinking a replacement meal like slimfast is not good at all? I have a shake for breakfast and lunch. I eat dinner, thanks.
@@JP-vv2jm I won't say its "no good". I'm saying it is preferable to consume your macros(protein) from food. The science suggests its a better more usable form. Some nutritionists are completely against protein in the form of shakes as a way to complete your required daily intake.

I fell off from working out and eating properly. In researching, I found your and Dr. O's videos, which have been SO easy to understand. Thank you for these. What hilarious is you mentioned to NOT get your medication from the person in the dollar store, then an advertisement offered semaglutide for purchase. I mention this to say, I will never understand how anyone can be brave enough to purchase items WITHOUT a professional prescription. Thank YOU for your videos. Your videos are great.
Hahaha honestly most people go that route out of desperation and or lack of access. Others are looking for an easy route. No matter the reason it’s not a good idea.
Pls what about couscous and bulger wheat
@@annointedhandsourhandshisw2462 Both are great options
The real medication can cost $ 1,600.- per month unless prescribed by a doctor due to diabetes!
If you eat healthy like he states you don’t need the drug 🤔🤷🏻♂️

Skimmed milk has more sugar than 100% milk
That’s an inaccurate myth. Milk contains 12 grams of sugar ( in the form of carbohydrate) per cup. This is the case whether we're talking about whole milk, 2% milk, 1% milk or skim milk. Also, whole milks carries a lot more calories in the form of fat than skim.
What about just pure stevia?
Really Good Option! The less refined the better

Promoting fruit in the middle of the night on an empty stomach is terrible advice.
Should I promote a donut? We are talking about making lifestyle changes in people who have a bad emotional problems with food. This won’t be everyone just those who get up in the middle of the night and would usually emotionally eat thousands of calories out of the fridge. No one should be worried about a small serving of fruit in comparison! Thanks for the comment and I hope you got more out of the video!
I wish every doctor would lose their license for prescribing this off label
@@glaubhafieber maybe that was a problem at the start but I’m going to guess it’s not as big an issue anymore. Insurance companies have
Caught on and I can’t tell you the number of prior authorizations my office does a week for patients who have clear indications. Insurances are checking.
I eat what I want, I just don't eat much anymore and I exercise. So the weight is coming off. However I don't eat processed foods.
As long as it work for you keep it going!
