Medical weight loss versus the record-keeping method: Which is right for you?

Here are some more unique methods.

Medical Treatment

If a person is severely obese, even walking is difficult, and the fat is compressing internal organs, causing various diseases, and diabetes is threatening their life, then a series of medical treatments are necessary.

The most effective is liposuction, which surgically removes excess fat.

Another treatment method is gastric bypass surgery. Some American doctors also use this method to treat... This is the weight loss method we will introduce later in this chapter, and will be explained in detail later. This method does not require money or physical effort and is easy to stick to. It only requires a little effort, but once you get used to it, it becomes an unconscious behavior in daily life, like riding a bicycle or driving a car.

This has nothing to do with the willpower advocated by exercise-based weight loss methods. For someone like me, who, although not fond of exercise, enjoys reading and thinking, it is a weight loss method suitable for cultured people.

You can see this from my actual result of losing 50 kilograms in a year, and the effect was immediate. In principle, it can minimize the risk of weight rebound.

This is indeed an ideal weight loss method.

A jejunoileal bypass surgery is a treatment method for severely obese patients. However, what many people don't know is that because the stomach's digestive capacity is weakened, the patient will have to rely on large amounts of vitamin supplements for the rest of their life to ensure their body's needs are met. Neglecting to take medication can be life-threatening.

These methods can indeed help you lose weight, but they are extremely expensive. Because hospitalization is required, they can disrupt normal life and work. Moreover, these methods are harmful to health and are only used in Japan when obesity is life-threatening.

For a more stable approach, a complete diet management therapy is better. Alternatively, you can achieve weight loss by strictly calculating calories and only eating food provided by the hospital. Although this requires both money and time, it can simultaneously treat various complications caused by obesity and is safer from an operational perspective. Under the supervision of doctors and nurses, there is at least no opportunity to cheat, thus leading to weight loss.

Regardless of the method, it relies on the support of others. If the original lifestyle is not changed, the weight will inevitably rebound. To prevent weight rebound, it is necessary to combine the previously mentioned methods of diet and exercise for weight loss.
