I love this! INCREASE the RIGHT foods without depriving yourself, this works WITH the biology rather than against it. This is what I have been teaching for nearly 20 years with a tone of success!

Dr. Matthew Weiner, Thank you so much for these very informative videos. I had weight loss surgery 15 months ago and I lost 75 lbs in the first 6 months and have not lost anymore since. I want to loose 40-50 more lbs. I have been at a loss as to what to do and finding myself going back to yo yo dieting to try to eat like I did after surgery. I just downloaded the caloratio app and ordered your book. I hope this helps me get back into the mindset of health living and eating and to get out of that helpless panic feeling that I have fallen back into. I was trying to eat 800 calories a day which would result in 1000 but now I see this might be to little? Im so confused. I will continue to watch your videos and read your book. Thank you!!

Dr. Weiner, I am a post op gastric bypass patient and a graduate student earning my Master's in Counseling. I am currently working on a literature review regarding whether calories are truly an important factor on the long term successful weight management of gastric bypass patients. I love your philosophy regarding this topic and how it's the source of the calories, not necessary the number of calories, that is key. I understand you are very busy, but if you would allow me to make an appointment to just talk with you regarding your book and your belief system on this topic, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

[@apoundofcure]

I could listen to you forever. Thank your for this video. It makes a lot of sense. Medications are the WORST in weight gain. I wish I had a doc like you that could help me change my meds to help in my 2.5 hours of fitness training daily. I feel like my weight training and cardio can be all in vain. 😢

Dr. Weiner, thank you. I was pointed to your book by a woman while sitting next to her at the bar just before the Covid19 pandemic began :) My family has a high instance of obesity, heart disease and diabetes, so I have many reasons to have purchased your Pound of Cure book. When Covid19 began, with the fears of food availability, everything missing from your recommended foods was showing up in my Kroger clicklist; especially processed foods. I gained weight (above weight I already needed to lose) and more severe inflammation problems to boot. I'm pretty motivated now to embrace the learnings from you book and these really helpful videos. In just a week of removing bread, processed foods and dairy, I've noticed a positive change in inflammation. I just wanted to thank you for the wealth of information you provide here on youtube. Ps. I used to live in Commerce Twp and the intersection of Commerce, Commerce and Commerce always threw me! Not fun when you're towing a boat and trying to find an address. LOL

It's been 4 months since surgery and I've only lost 61lbs. I think I'm not eating enough . I have a protien shake breakfast, lunch, then I eat dinner. Weekends I eat about twice a day. My workouts are a cardio , and abs dance , glute workouts, weights, and jogs.

[@karimaogden3875]

Don't understand why you think a 61 lbs weight loss in 4 months isn't enough! That's 15 lbs /month! The recommended amount of weight loss per week is 2 lbs per week for people that don't have Weight Loss Surgery.

beans make me have dumping syndrome effects. I have no gallbladder and am rny about five years out. I do love beans though! I've been experimenting with different enzymes and the timing to taking them before eating to see if I can eat beans without issues. I can eat green beans with no problem though; it's the starchier type beans that really make me feel unwell. I miss them. I have a pantry full of dried red beans and black beans and I can't eat them.

Dr. Matthew I am 41 years old 23 mos out from RNY I weigh 170 my height is 5"7. I feel I been in starvation mode for a year because my weight has not moved. I eat 1200 cals a day 96 protein 76 carbs I workout 4 to 5 times a week I burn 284 cals each workout session i lift weights and do cardio. Are my cals too low? I been eating 1200 calories for a year and I feel I am fighting against my body. How can I figure out my BMR the amount of calories my body need to function so I know how much of a deficit to create to lose weight. I want to reach my goal weight of 145lbs

[@apoundofcure]

nakea simone Nakea, the first recommendation I have is to abandon this notion of calories balance as the primary mechanism of weight loss. I have dozens of videos about your body's physiology that works to prevent weight loss despite calorie restriction. I recommend that you get on the Metabolic Reset Diet (aim for 1.5 lbs of vegetables daily) from my book and increase the intensity of your workout. You may be able to get the scale moving again. Good Luck.

I really appreciate this. For many years I heard restrict calories and exactly as you've said - I was able to do so for short periods but inevitably regained the weight and more. I had RNY six years ago. I was near 500 pounds and have been able to lose almost half my original weight. However, I have regained about 20 pounds over the past year because of medications that I have been on-steroids, and a variety of pain medications and other meds. I would love to find out how to speak to my doctor about adjusting these medications because I can't be given just a shrugged and I'm not going back to being 445. I also have peripheral neuropathy which I got after my surgery-this has severely affected my balance and exercise ability. I've been going from doctor to doctor for help and I am currently doing physical and vestibular therapy...if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thank you for your vidoes.

I wish I could get continuing care.. I had bypass surgery 7 years ago now and I have been stuck at 150 pounds. No higher no lower. I get sick and can’t eat anything for a few weeks 150lbs or if I eat like crazy after going to the gym 150 pounds.. I’m technically still overweight at about a 26.7 bmi. I also developed food aversions and I am still struggling to work past it all. Also do you know anything about what causes the foamies? I still have trouble with this complication seven years later. I eliminated meat for years but I feel like I’m eating all the time because veggies go through the stomach super fast. Is there anything that I can do because I don’t know what to do anymore

Hi Dr. Weiner, I listened to your video and heard you mentioned energy drinks like Monster and Red Bull when discussing Sugar Sweetened Drinks, but what about their Zero Calorie counterparts, which do not have any grams of sugar listed and sucralose is not one of the main ingredients (it's further down the list on the can)?

[@apoundofcure]

KoRonna J These are artificially sweetened beverages which are not as bad, but still a major issue. I have a video on artificial sweeteners that should clear things up for you.

I had WLS back in September. So almost 9 months so far. I stoped losing. I understand stalls. I understand what to expect. Im exercising and building muscle. I increased protein intake under my limitations of how much food i can have in my stomach, not much😢, but I prefer protein over anything else. Still not losing. I need to go down about 20 more lbs to be approved for extra skin surgery. What do i need to do? What am i doing wrong? Help.

[@apoundofcure]

Shift your focus from protein to produce. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes. Good nutrition drives weight loss.

[@milkweedsage]

hormones in beef are not allowed where i live. i have chronically low ferritin levels (menses every 3 weeks) so i have been told to eat more dead animals.. am i doomed?

[@apoundofcure]

milkweedsage Not sure I agree with eating more meat to increase your ferritin levels - I might even suggest less meat if your other iron levels are normal.

[@milkweedsage]

my other iron levels are abnormal, but the ferritin is the big one they're worried about. i am prepping for surgery, which is stalled until my ferritin is over 50. it's quite frustrating.

Hi Respected doctor I lost my weigh 12kg within in 3 month. While I was taking exercise but I feel weakness in. My legs due to weight loss. Give me some suggestion how can I remove my weakness and tell me, is this a serious problem?

[@cric_vision-t5w]

Hi Dr Weiner, I have undergone WLS last year and have been very successful. I am considering a career change and would like to switch to law enforcement. You may be aware already that such type of jobs are stressful and people often have to work late in the night. How negatively can it affect my set point and to what degree? Looking forward to your expert advice sir.

[@apoundofcure]

Stress and the night shift will increase your set point and put you at risk for weight regain. The physical activity associated with a job in law enforcement is helpful though. Having a variety of healthy snacks on hand (like sliced vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc.) will help you make good food choices.

[@cric_vision-t5w]

@@apoundofcure Yes I will need to have the right type of food at least. Can't afford to have junk like my colleagues. I will have to work out a plan to reset my "clock" periodically. However, I am still on the underweight side and if I were to work in law enforcement, how much weight can I possibly gain? I will surely not regain all my weight back right? I will try to ensure that I stick to natural nutritious food (with limited shelf life) at work. Do you happen to know anyone from your practice who made such a transition and turned out to be successful?

[@apoundofcure]

@@cric_vision-t5w There is no way to predict how these changes will affect you. There are too many variables. I have had patients who were able to navigate these types of changes successfully.

I started eating a plant based diet at the first of the year, mostly fruit, vegetables and legumes, very little grain maybe once or twice a month since I am diabetic. I initially lost 6 pounds and then another 4 pounds but now I keep going up and down those same last 4 pounds and I seem to be stuck. Is this my body lowering the set point? I am tempted to begin to calorie restrict. I am sedentary and can't exercise much because I am coming out of a flare up from ankylosing spondylitis. I think I am eating between 1800-2000 calories and anywhere from 55-75 grams of fiber a day, should I cut the calories back to about 1300-1500? Would I start to lose again? I am 5'4, weigh between 215-219 and am post menopausal.

[@apoundofcure]

I would need to know much more to offer the right advice. Try our smartphone app, CaloRatio and try to determine what your score is. If it's less than 80%, I would modify my diet to increase this score, rather than restricting your calorie intake.

Dr, Weiner - are Lamictal or Latuda among the bipolar medications you have seen that have led to weight gain?

[@apoundofcure]

Please discuss this with your prescribing physician.

[@aliciakjordan23]

I have....he said they "could." I have been on them for some time and am scheduled for gastric sleeve in June. I don't want to do anything afterwards to hinder my results, but I'm also not sure there are other meds out there that would work for me.

[@apoundofcure]

This is a very complicated discussion that must take many factors into consideration. Please discuss this in detail with all of your doctors, including your surgeon.

[@siva418]

Alicia Jordan I am on Lamictal and one of the major reasons it was prescribed to me is because it does not cause weight gain. I am not sure about Latuda, but as Dr. Weiner has said, you can talk to your physician about this or go to the pharmacy and ask for the medication information brochure that is always given with each prescription.

[@apoundofcure]

exactly.
