Patient's question:
I have been quite overweight since childhood. It's like I gain weight just by drinking cold water, which has led to my current severe obesity. I want to exercise to lose weight, but I can't stick with it for very long. I also want to take medication and diet, but I don't know what to eat. I consider surgery, but I don't have the money for it. What should I do then? Is there really no other way?Doctor's answer:
Obese patients are not recommended to take weight-loss drugs because long-term use of weight-loss drugs can easily cause certain harm to the body. Adjustments can be made through diet and exercise. Drink more water, pay attention to rest, ensure deep sleep, avoid staying up late, prevent overexertion, eat more coarse grains, more vegetables and fruits, avoid oily fried fast food, and exercise more outdoors, such as cycling, ice skating, hiking, running, etc. However, it is necessary to have a certain amount of perseverance to persist.
