Almost at the end of day 30... after this 29 more days to really push. Day 31 went well... stayed on plan... and am working on the binging on sugar treats regardless of whether they fit in my calorie goal. My shake does have sugar so i need to be more mindful of what i eat.
Spoke to a weight loss doctor today.. and oddly enough he wasn't trying to sell me some "rapid weight loss" plan.. he just talked to me, asked me what my issues have been, and told me that a lot of doctors will force a plan, but all they teach u is how to take a pill, not what foods work for you and what work against u. So i may see what he has to offer, starting with doing some blood work and monitoring my nutrition more than shoving pills down my throat. and he said he usually stays away from calorie counting to a certain extent to avoid burn out, and focuses and clean eating, avoiding processed foods and such.
I was impressed, though discouraged he didn't really have an answer for me kinda hitting these walls. well gotta start somewhere.

This is good, he's taking a look at the bigger picture in figuring out the correct approach for you. Education on food and how they effect the body is paramount in making life long changes. And the fact that he wants to check your bloodwork makes him even more legit. This is the kind of doc I'd want to go to.

Thank you so much CJT for confirming what i felt ... its not gonna be cheap but after hearing so many of my friends go to these weigh loss clinics and spending tons for them not to teach them anything i decided my health is worth more than what i would be paying.. and he was really reasonable... he basically told me that most doctors will go with traditional medicine.. so when i'm 300 lbs with high bp and diabetes, they treat me for my condition, vs his method which is "functional" medicine... lets avoid the issues that lead to those conditions and u may lose weight in the process. i'm interested to see where this goes and what i learn :)

They treat the condition because, as humans, we are commodities and we generate $ for the pharmacuetical companies! I'm glad you are exploring a path that focuses on healing from the root, instead of treating individual symptoms. It's very similar to my homeopathy healing-which is helping me find out what types of foods work best for my body.

Actually, what you wrote really impressed me. No answer until tests. That is a great doc!

It's hard to find a dr that wants to find out what is going on with you and not just treat the symptoms. Hope he works out for you and you get the results you want.
