>I want you to lose 100 pounds in 2 months and then I'll let you use free weights
How do you respond?

I don't understand why people need to see a doctor to tell them that in order to lose weight you need to eat less and move more.
Are they this fucking retarded?

It's an addiction. Only you're forced to go to your dealer on a regular basis.

Doc I don't think 90lbs is a healthy weight for a grown human male

Fine, I'll dump your wife

What does he sound like that?

they make 600lb ppl chugging 10k+ cals a day drop to 800 calories, borderline anorexia, and wonder why they cant stick with it

"I'd be severely underweight, and you have topical retinoid skill issues."

Yeah but even drug addicts know their health is fucked due to their little habit. Obese people eat 5 times more food than the thin people that sits at the same table and yet wonder why they are fat.

In the case of Dr Now they want bariatric surgery that's why they go

If you watch the episodes with people who actually stick to the diet and lose the amount of weight Dr. Now sets them, it goes a bit more into the topic of why he is even there. When he says you could lose 100 pounds he sets that number intentionally high for psychological reasons (that clearly don't work because more people fail from this advice than succeed). The point is that after a while even for a morbidly obese person the body adapts to the 1200 calorie diet. Yes, even a deathfat plateaus during a diet. Since they can't really move like normal people without risking injuries just from walking to break through the plateau or eat even less than 1200 calories which will almost certainly make them binge and spiral again, they all end up getting bariatric surgery precisely for this reason. There is an episode on a guy who loses the weight and then says he can finish his journey without the surgery. While his initial weight loss speed was pretty good, it slowed down very quickly and at that rate it would take him a decade to lose all the weight that he could lose in two or three years with bariatric surgery. The goal of the show isn't even to get them to a healthy BMI, it's to get them out of the immediate danger zone of class III obesity.

they are american.

If there is a medical reason the person needs to lose the weight and not just the fat, it's probably best to diet and only train for maintaining a little bit of muscle.

>>77391068
So a casual 5700 calories deficit? Ok buddy i'll go chop of some limbs

>>77391068
Dr.Now would pronounce it "munts"
