I like how he's brutally honest and stern, but doesn't give up on his patients

[@DarrinSK]

They need brutal honesty because part of the way they got here was by people coddling them lying to them, consoling them enabling them. And telling them what they wanted to hear.

[@DexGen2002]

Hes kinda closed minded on the "your not eating less bc ur not losing weight" bc she could be eating fatty foods and eat less and prolly drinking certain drinks. Also he tried giving up on that black lady which is pretty bs. You can argue to say its bc hes used to ppl lying, but again you could talk better and help confront them, maybe help them not feel stressed out bc then they might think hes bs bc of it being on TV

[@martina21953]

I couldn't do it. I would be screaming at these manipulators and liars.

[@Jules279]

Yep, in his line of work he's got to make those people wake up and face reality before it's too late.

[@Mr__Frodo]

@@DexGen2002 Bro he saw and heard all types of excuses in his career. There is a reason why he is so stern with them. When he say you are not eating less , he doesn't mean less amount of food but less calories in general. There is a percent of these people that can't be helped , he can't save them all so there is no point in wasting time on these that just don't care and don't want to change , while he can actually save someone in that time.

[@Ami-zi6si]

Generally the councelling is used to help keep the momentum going once the weightloss starts to diminish as they get down in weight and thus calories burned per day just for existing as well as the metabolism adjusting. Im not sure if theres any proof that thats the most efficient method but I think the reasoning is that pre surgery the motivation of wanting the surgery should be enough and immediately after surgery rhe encouragement of the recent sucess suffices so saving the councelling means they have something to put in to give an extra push later.

[@black487]

I quickly went from 165 to 260lbs. Realized it was a problem as I approached 300lbs and started meal planning. 250-500 calories per meal (3 meals a day) plus a few healthy snacks per day (banana, apple, orange, or edamame). I rapidly went from 260 down to 203. I didn’t even exercise for much of it, the weight just melted off. I imagine just a controlled diet could do most of these people wonders and they could skip all the heartache.

As somebody who had a lot of issues with addiction, this is the kind of tough love that these people need. They're addicted to food. They need someone to point out all the issues so that they can be addressed instead of dancing around the real issues, whether it be psychotherapy, diet, or exercise.

Just proves surgery is not the answer. You have to deal with the mental and physical eating habits, actually teach them why their eating habits are wrong, and show them how to change it.

[@JohnDoe-et8th]

Surgery is HALF the answer--it resets a lot of the endocrine processes and makes it very hard to overeat. The other necessary half is self-discipline. No way around that. Most of these people got where they are by denying their own agency and they delude themselves into thinking someone else can give them a magic operation and they can just continue to do what they want. Ain't happenin'.

[@DarkClouds-v8]

If you’re not right mentally you won’t be physically. People are so naive to that.

[@feodorawicked5014]

See, I can understand the purpose of suergy to give a chance to someone who mightve lost mobility. But even then, they should go through counciling to ensure that when they loose however much to get to a wright were they can regain that mobility, they will continue on their weight loss journey.

[@SoldMySoul45]

That’s why he sends them to Psychotherapy first. But the majority of them blow off the counseling and just expect to get the surgery. They’re not willing to work on themselves mentally or physically. It’s a shame.

[@kittymandias]

It's impossible for someone that obese to lose weight without the surgery, even when they change their habits. There is research about it and Dr. Now has explained that several times on the show.
