How do severely obese people lose weight?

Question

I was just looking at photos of Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole on the Net. This great singer died young, basically because he was too fat. I feel badly for him and all others who are morbidly obese. It's easy to say "diet & exercise", but when you're at that level of heaviness, not only are you in a hurry to lose weight due to health reasons, but it's extremely difficult to do what is needed to lose weight. These people aren't at "normal" overweight levels -- levels one can work on. They're at crucial levels of weight, and face the excrutiating task of trying to lose it. The feat would seem impossible, too overwhelming. Anyway, I want to know how these people lose weight. Especially without surgery. Are there any success stories out there? How did you do it?

Answer 1

Well I was 273 pounds and almost morbidly obese I have since lost 98 pounds by sticking to a low calorie diet (which required alot of will power and determination) and taking regular easy exercise, which was basically just walking the dog. That was that, no potions, pill, gym membership or anything fancy. What a difference it has made to my life, if have went from a UK size 24 (US 20) to a UK 14 (US 10) and feel amazing. I was obese most of my life so it can be done if you really want it.

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.

1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.

2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.

3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.

These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.

Obesity is usually a lifestyle disease but it may be a consequence of other diseases like diabetes and thyroid gland diseases. It is not only common in the aged but youths and even children are victims of this disease. Obesity is a cause of various heart diseases and poses great danger to a person's psychological health

Answer 5

Joann, you are too adamant in telling people what they MUST do. First, multiple paths to weight loss exist. Second, don t tell people what to do when they face something they already believe must be taken on. Motivate them. The people you think you are helping already know their weight is a problem and "must" be dealt with. They need help getting the job done and done one of the right ways.

Take a look at this. This man weighed almost 500 lbs. He lost over 200 in around a year, and is doing great! He weighs about 250 now, and his goal weight is 199. I'm sure he's gonna do it.
