Question 1

How do you approach a tendency to binge when eating is hard to control?

Accepted Answer

Patients tell us that once they start eating, the bowl is empty in no time, and then regret sets in. They start their diet again the next day, but the same thing happens over and over.

Question 2

Why does a diet stop after just a few days?

Accepted Answer

Patients tell us they bought workout clothes, made a plan and even signed up, but quit within a few days. That has happened year after year.

Question 3

Do you treat weight gained from less activity together with swelling?

Accepted Answer

Patients tell us they gained weight as they went out less and spent more time at home. It overlaps with a period when both their sleeping and eating times got irregular.

Question 4

With a busy life, is there something to deal with before weight loss?

Accepted Answer

People come in hoping for something they can take easily. The first thing they tell us is that they're too busy to set aside time.

Question 5

When frequent drinking is hard to avoid, how do you set weight-loss goals?

Accepted Answer

Patients tell us that with repeated drinking get-togethers and late nights, mornings don't feel refreshing and they can't focus on work during the day. They talk about their body feeling heavy before they talk about weight.

Question 6

What should I be careful about when starting because of health checkup results?

Accepted Answer

People who had been coming to us for their back or shoulders bring up weight first after getting their checkup results. Before that, they were the ones saying, "I'll have to do it someday."
