Doctor who lost 100 pounds shares how she did it

[@jojopuppyfish]

I lost 90 pounds in 2017 and have kept it off going on 6 years as of Jan 16th I haven't eaten anything with Sugar or flour in the past 6 years (No cookies, no soda, no cake) That's my secret. BTW it is very tough for me to keep off the weight. The main reason is that there is too much food choices out there. Ever been to a party with lots of food and you're the only person not eating. Well it's tough.

[@marytheresejacksonlutz2533]

This is how I lost weight years ago-white sugar, white flour-it can be just as addictive as drugs and alcohol.

[@kita3256]

Try baking cookies with low carb flour and keto chocolate chips. Almond flour doesn’t contain sugar and it’s extremely low carb and there’s some keto chocolate chips made with monk fruit sweetener and they are divine! I don’t do flour but I love cookies. Check out videos for keto chocolate chip cookies. 😊

I lost sixty pounds or so on my own also. I try to stay vegetarian or chicken, fish and seafood. I eat pretty healthy. I try to have mostly meatless meals. I lost the weight on my own. I was 276 pounds at my heaviest. I weigh 211 pounds. My goal is to get back to 175 pounds. I like having curves.

This doctor has figured it out. What works for a 25 year old mostly does not work for a 50+ woman. It's all about hormones - mainly insulin.

[@motherofthreeb6337]

If you read between the lines, she had to "fix her" problems. When you do things holistically, it's based on what's going on in YOUR body. I use a holistic doctor and she did just that and I lost 65 lbs. My husband lost 85 lbs. Two different protocols because we had different issues that caused the weight gain and what damage done to our bodies previously had to be "fixed". That's why there weren't specifics.

[@jujubees711]

I just turned 60 years old. I'm thinner now than I was in high school. I'm 121 lbs now. I was 158 lbs in high school. At 5"4, I was a little chunky. I'm also happy to report that I am on less meds than I was in my 30s. In my 30s - 40s. I was on cholesterol meds and borderline diabetic, now I'm on no meds and my blood work is great. I hear so many women say they can't lose weight. They're doing everything. I thought that too at 40 years old. I thought was eating healthy. But, 1) I still ate too many carbs. Even if it was brown rice and whole-grain bread. 2) I found out when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight, you can't eat everything in moderation daily or even weekly, becaue that's how you stay stuck at the weight you are. And you have to move your body every day, I walk 3 - 5 miles a day. People are like, where do you find the time? I don't sit in front of a tv. That's what people find time for. To watch their favorite shows but no time for exercise. You are a result of your habits. Today, I have a no-refined carb and low sugar diet at least 75% of the time. On holidays, not even weekends. Only on holidays and special occasions, I'll go off and have a little bread, fried foods, or dessert. The thing is, is that most women don't want to do it, or they call it extreme. Meanwhile, they are living with diabetes and high cholesterol. Or they'll say, that diet works for you, everyone's different, without even trying to see if it really works for them, because it's too hard. I hate to say it, but that's their addiction to food. And they need an excuse for their addiction. It's not just your age and metabolism. It's what you're eating. You simply can't eat what you want and expect to lose weight.

[@bethfraser7518]

Yes, good for you. Feels so good to figure "it" out and see the results. I'm doing similar at 60+ and dumped 50+ lbs and counting. Low carb, lots of walking etc. was my big win bc I no longer have those dreaded cravings that kept the weight on.

*Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and valuable insights!*

[@e.paradigm7415]

I’ve literally stopped eating processed foods, lowered my carbohydrate intake and substituted for more healthier carbs like fruits and veggies opposed to starches, I limit how much sugar I consume, I increased my protein intake (I didn’t realize how little protein I was consuming until I began watching my micros/macros) to 165g, I lowered the amount of sodium I consume--I was literally eating 3x-4x the amount of recommended sodium and there is soooo much food that is high in sugar and sodium, I stopped eating out frequently which I LOVED fast food but now I prefer to cook at home even experimenting with foods and creating things that I enjoy eating, however still adhering to my diet. I’ve lost about 60lbs and kept it off for a long time, my concern was more about adopting new sustainable behaviors that would replace unhealthy ones, ex. I replaced soda and energy drinks completely for flavored seltzer water and black coffee (yeah, at first I despised the taste but I only focused on changing those foods since I realized it was what I was consuming on the daily) then in time I substituted almond milk for whole milk, after that everything just slowly fell into place. In about a years time I realized that I had completely changed my diet to foods that I still enjoyed, however when I would go shopping it was now a habit and I would pick the right foods on a subconscious level! That’s when I truly surprised myself and felt in complete control of my diet. I was heavy all my life and I knew I could lose the weight rather quickly but my goal was more to live a healthy lifestyle yet keep the weight off long term! Believe me, if I can do it, you can too! I paired all this up with a steady routine of gym work, I tend to go without fail on my off days, usually do about an hour, then on some workdays I will go and do a 30 min but if I feel energized then I’ll push myself longer. I also HIGHLY recommend you study the nutritional facts on foods, I downloaded two apps that have helped my in choosing the right foods and keeping track. You’d be SHOCKED how many foods have all this cancer causing additives and stuff that is proven to change your dna. I’ve learned soo much about nutrition that I’m considering pursuing an education in nutrition. I’m not the same man I was a few years ago and my family sees that and is just in awe by it. Anyway, best of luck to everyone on their fitness goals, if I did it, then you can too, just need to believe in yourself. Progress takes time. 💪🏻

[@tammychristian1479]

She did not do this to assist most women, she did it to assist the elite. It is $1200 per month to even be seen by her, and that is regardless if you have insurance that she does accept. This is in addition to all of the fees that will not be covered by any insurance in the State of Washington. She has no alternative program or even a testing alone program, so you can at least get to the source of the torture if you are anything like myself, to the reason your health got where it is, even when you did all the correct holistic choices, and really, or not. For women who have been searching and searching and can see by her talk, she knows "exactly" and knows no one else is doing this work (or so I thought), in an all-in-one facility, you would think she would have compassion. This fine fee does not get you treatments you would and will have to pay, but you will have access to the health coach and get 10% off supplementation (that's the perk). We are talking thousands to be treated for conditions that do not just clear up quickly, by the nature of the conditions she mentioned. I would not be complaining but she used this as a publicity stunt, to raise so many millions of women's hopes who are in serious pain, emotional and physical misery, and not by any means only myself. Just to have her very cold "ba-bye" (exactly like the women in the Beverly Hills boutique from Pretty woman) so obviously say with such snobbery and arrogance, that there is not one other option. And she "doubled" the price I was told, from last year (doubled since the interview). I was willing to spend a lot to see her, in addition to my insurance covered cost and co-pays. For genetic testing, MRI, and CT scans of an adrenal mass my family and I are very concerned about, for testing and a protocol, period and you name it but 1200 a month out of pocket, just to be seen by her? And not I would not, or do not hold a respectable job, I could not! I honor others' prosperity, but this is ridiculous and there should have been more transparency about it before you raise the hopes of thousands if not more women, and give this woman the opportunity of a lifetime, for millions who cannot afford her services. I was surprised to see you did this Today show, been watching you since I was a little girl. I will be resourcing others who have what she offers in addition to medical ethics and compassion, my daughter and I are already seeing someone that may offer even better services in another part of Washington for visitation at $299. When I went on her Instagram in protest and to inform the women, she blocked me in less than 60 seconds, in fear someone would find out before she could reel them in. The more I think about it, anyone who would go through what she went through and leave all of us who cannot afford 1200 plus so much more per month, is not someone I want to place my health in her greedy and incompassionate hands. Someone who would truly honor the suffering she went through, would be offering a sliding scale fee per day, or providing a physician's assistant at a lesser cost, "something", and when she knows at our age, many of these are life-threatening. I wish the best to the patients that give her their money and health concerns,I am happy for their ability to afford her, please know. I am sure (or at least her story looks that way) she is a good Doctor addressing a big concern millions have not found the answer for, I wish them the best. I pray for her a softer heart, and greater ethics in what it means to be a Doctor, and a healer, and knowing it was not just her hard work that blessed her with the healing and knowledge, it was given and not just for her.

She certainly did not provide any advice at all in this interview. Once I heard her say Insulin- I new it was the new diet drug for diabetes-which every Dr. will tell you-once you go off the the pills, you will gain it back and more!

For the majority of people in the comments, it's pretty simple... 1. Figure your life out. Get your crap in order. 2. Cut out all b.s in your life. 3. Try getting 7-8 hours of sleep daily. 4. Eat as natural as you can, cut out as much processed foods, sugars. 5. Walk a lot and lift weights every now and then. 6. Stay consistent. That's all it takes. You don't need no magic pill or fad diet. You don't need to run a marathon everyday or live at the gym.

@@jrelpantera1982 When I called, the receptionist said 1200 per month! (think about that) That is before labs, x-rays, medication (holistic or pharmaceutical) Out in here in Washington State we have expensive Doctors and although Naturopathic is under many PPO insurances, the medicines are not covered etc. I know functional medicine of the famous Dr. Mark Hyman, to see someone in his direct wellness center in I believe in upper NYC is like $2500 but not a month! We are talking , for labs, consultation, instructions, additional telemedicine, nutritional plan , and this is the man behind the name functional medicine to begin with! She cannot come close to the level of expertise and its to which where most of the Holistic high end practitioners obtain the example from. I think the Doctors should get paid well but, there should always be a way for there to be an alternative means for those suffering who do not have. Healing from disease with the correct medication and treatments should not be a luxury, it should be a rightful need, a Country supported absolute, merciful; to include whole food nutrient dense organic education and supply for all. And although the Governments should find a way to assist the people of this Country and compensate innovative Doctors, (which healthy people are good for the economy), so they are not held responsible for our health. no one should be offered a platform to be exposed to only the population that could afford her services, while millions of women desperately ignored, in pain, losing years of their/our lives, some suicidal (not myself), inflammation, hormonal nightmares, chronic fatigue, organ health at risk or already damaged, hair loss, (families at risk from having an undiagnosed highly misunderstood real illness,) and that dangled before our very faces, Today show, what were you thinking? Illnesses that not only make our years tortured, missed, lost, miserable, but scientifically proven to be leading us to illnesses that can lead to horrid suffering and untimely deaths. On the lighter side, losing our youth unnaturally, our confidence, our youthful and authentic and unique beauty, our groove. Societies disdain and misunderstanding, for those of us who live a healthy regime to our minds, who have to disregard of us for most and especially those with such high levels of cortisol stress from below, right above, above income, in ways it is a testimony that millions are not already dead,once those years are gone, they are gone! Having to become what we think is genetics of our mothers behind us, only to find out those poor darlings did not even have a clue and if or for those that did, who would listen, who knew? Or did they? Who knows. And the best part is (drum roll please), it was the foods they turned into poison from their manufacturing practices/poisons/pesticides, chemicals most cannot pronounce, that has done this to us in the first place!

I feel like the answer is to eat less and exercise more. It seems so easy but I can't do it.

[@crh251]

Actually that’s the old science of losing weight. It can work, but it’s too hard to maintain. That’s why people on the show, The Biggest Loser, gain all their weight back and more. The key is keeping insulin down. When people eat all day long, their insulin remains elevated. The insulin begins to store fat if you’re insulin resistant. You should eat healthy foods and not snack. Stay away from obvious sugars like cookies, cake, etc. and also stay away from foods that turn to sugar like breads, muffins, pasta, etc.

[@erinbynight]

Happy this doctor lost the weight, but I wish so many people weren’t vague about exactly what they did to lose it. This smells of monetization. Of course, she will have supplements for you to buy, books you won’t likely get anything new from, and a class for you to take. And at the end of it all, it will still be your fault you didn’t lose the weight because you could not “research” what was going on. This doctor was obviously wealthy enough and had many more resources most folks don’t have access to. This person is everything that is wrong with diet culture. The only true thing she said was cut out sugar. It would not surprise me if she was busy selling her own weight loss hormone shot. What a tired old story.

[@CB-vg1wq]

I agree with other commenters, she is very nonspecific in her recommendation.

[@sassyone82]

Hmmm not sure if this is a stunt or not. Lots of times these people have just had some type of bariatric surgery but claim they lost the weight by simply eating a healthy diet, exercising and taking supplements. She was vague in her answers and her body proportion is off (her legs are still thick…usually a telltale sign of weight loss surgery).

I no buy junk food or take sugar with coffee, anymore. I be lying if I say, I feel results immediate after or 8 year later. But. It do affect how you see people, who need a lot of sugar in diet, outside of nations with super amazing sugar like Jamaica. I phasing out sugar, when I go Jamaica 10 year ago, and coffee time, the sugar a super super amazing experience. It feel great take 3 coffee with Jamaican sugar. That strengthen resolve to not intake sugar in lesser sugar country. We eating lead, compare to other country enjoy natural sugar. People think 'Sugar in the Raw' a 'natural' sugar. It no different than white sugar. One taxi driver, I know, tell me how he eat same breakfast for 20 year, fried plaintain, scramble egg, toast, coffee and fresh orange juice. I already been to Jamaica like 3 time, so I understand. He eat like a king. Very cool dude.

[@cathipa]

ETA: maybe the host should also mention she sells her unmentioned supplement on her website. I guess this is more of a commercial than anything. Maybe she lost weight because she was eating better (especially when she comments that she did food testing and low sugar) which would in turn cause a calorie deficit and lead to weight loss? Agree there is tons of hidden sugar in the standard American diet and ultra processed foods should be avoided or rarely consumed. Weight training is also excellent for weight loss since if you can increase your muscle mass naturally with weight bearing activity you will lose more since muscle is calorie demanding.
