it's really hard to lose the weight though,i know exactly what i need to do to lose the weight but there are these demons voices in my head that convince me to overeat,let go of the diet
i just cried in the shower listening to this because when you said to bargain with yourself and do something you really want to do instead of having a snack, i realised there's absolutely nothing i want to do
I dont even eat unhealthy or eat for comfort, my depression just makes it so hard to exorcise. I sleep but im constantly exhausted, fatigued, and unmotivated. :/
I also experienced the same thing mentioned above.I am taking prodep tablets for the past 24years.It increased my appetite&now I am 110kg weight&even thyroid too. I don't know how to shed my weight &it makes me too dull.😢
I was doing great in journey of weight loss but in the middle it started to get hard and it increased my stress and unmotivated me and without motivation it's really getting more hard
Thank you for making these videos. I discovered them back in May 2017 when my doctor put me on Contrave. I watched every one of them and learned a few things and found motivation in your advice. Happy to say, I'm down 101 pounds since then!
PerryEising highly recommend a channel called Tasting Positive. I think her videos will really really help you. She talks about the genetics and biology of obesity and how to overcome it. Don’t give up! You can do this.
I really wish I had find the *2WeightLossFast. Com* years ago. For 3 weeks of using the programs, I lost TWELVE lbs Of course I work out more than once a week, and also eat right. The effect presented to me is astounding. Without a doubt, this is strongly recommended and I do hope this would give good results to you too since it did to me
Great! Glad you are back. It's wonderful to hear a physician offer something more than eat less move more! Not as easy as it sounds. Thank you for offering us these tools to use.
Sorry to hear that, hope your doing better. What really helps me when I feel like this is to go for walks outdoors and just be in nature. It doesn't have to be long just make it 10 mins or more. Best of luck to you.
It’s so nice to hear someone say “you’re doing great”, even if it’s someone I haven’t met through a CZcams video. Really appreciate your vlogs - they’re motivational & factual. Nice that someone is cutting through all the misinformation out there
Thank you for addressing the resistance in the medical community to use other means of weight loss besides diet and excersise. I am an RN working in the public health sector and this is rarely addressed, a real disservice to our obese a patient population.
Yes! You are correct, doctors do not assist with weight loss. I am tired the, "just eat less and exercise" response to a relationship with food that is totally out of whack. When I want to have a serious conversation about weight loss meds, Dr's look at me like I'm an addict trying to score an illegal substance. PLEASE branch out to more social media sources! Set up your laptop, tablet and phone each for Facebook video, CZcams and Instagram or Periscope and simultaneously vlog. I am so glad I found you. I finally found a Dr. who is supportive but I still need to send her links to your vlogs so she can get information pertaining to weight loss. Thank you!
Thanks I hear you. I’ve been obese and depressed for a year. Starting a 3 tier program through my medical center in 2020. Exercise nutrition and Zero Big Pharma which was part of the problem
Due to a friend, I searched Google for the *2WeightLossFast. Com* . It’s certainly the best plan and the best deal I’ve actually seen. My sister implemented it and shed 6 pounds. I just began and I’m already lower 5 lbs.?
this was really helpful, I currently take prozac and I really think it's made my dependancy of food a lot stronger than it was before even though I did gain most of the weight before I started medication. I think I will ask about Welbec at my GP as I really am so unhappy with my appearance right now:( love your video, you gained a new subscriber!:)
Currently up crying to myself , a mother of 3 and only 23 years old I went from being 115 lbs to 230 at only 5’1 I suffered from post parturm & now extreme depression due to my weight gain , it’s so hard losing weight because if you are already depressed and can barely find the strength to care for yourself imagine what losing weight feels like to someone who is suffering from depression , it’s hard with no will power or care for life ! I’ve tried to do things that I think would make me happy as far as buying stuff but it doesn’t help when I look in the mirror I feel disgusted with the person I am , I feel like a waste of life like there’s no turning back , I’m tired physically and I’m also tired of comparing myself to skinny people I feel so left out and unattractive that it effects my everyday mood .. I don’t even feel like I eat as much to keep gaining weight the way I am ..I’m honestly just waiting for my life to be over already because I’m not happy with my life
I understand much of what u said and relate. I hope u are in a better place now but if not, know you're not alone xx thanks for the comment , as it helps me feel not so alone too. Hugs
Maybe go shopping for a pair of shoes you’ve wanting, or some makeup, a handbag you’ve eyeballing! These are negotiations/trade offs for detrimental foods. Thanks for the video!
We need doctors like you in Tampa, FL! You are great! All PCP's I have been to don't even want to talk about weight loss and the excuse they say is it's not covered by insurance. Or they just say.. eat less and walk. Your videos are awesome! Thank you.
My doctor refuse to take me off meds for schzophenia haldol ten mgs I mental feel better but suck at body fat excerise I refuse I do t wanna walk i just feel lost medicine is great but not motivated
I've already started to do more exercise now, happy about that, also I made a deal with myself, sweet bread is my comfort food, so now I'm eating it once a week as opposed to 3 to 4 times a week, eating my weekly bread as I watch this right now :p
Thank you so much for this. I couldn't relate more with this vicious cycle. But I am trying my best to get up in the morning ang go to the gym even though I don't feel like it. I seem to always feel so much better afterwards and it helps me make better food choices throughout the day
I truly wish I could find such an awesome doctor like you here in Utah!? Your fabulous and until I seen your videos I never understood any of the whole "diet" medical assisted weight loss. I think phentermine would help me! I gained 60lbs since having my son. I have turned food into an addiction and I struggle with sugars and carbs. You brightened my day and I used some of your tools in previous videos. I'm now trying to find a doctor who can help me start phentermine. Do I need a weight loss doctor or just my regular family doctor? Thanks I love your videos!!
I have been applying this diet *2WeightLossFast. Com* for several weeks now and until now I like them! I have the vitality I need without having controlling my desire for foods without having making me feel jittery. I did nothing special on my diet regime and I still are able to reduced my unwanted weight to 7 pounds. .
Before I started college I was active, but when I began college I would over study and rely on unhealthy snacks and meals, and for 5 years have been unable to lose weight until I saw this video a couple of months back, and have been eating healthier and making progress. I have lost 30 pounds.
I don’t binge eat anymore. I went to therapy for it and now I actually lose my appetite when I get depressed or stressed. I don’t go to food no more. But I lose weight the wrong way by not eating much and then I start getting into a worse mindset and feeling horrible. Then when I start eating, even healthy foods, I start feeling guilty about it. In high school I had anorexia but never got help for it because I was never dangerously underweight. I’m 5’6” and was at 120 pounds. I was thin. I ate very little, like not even 500 calories a day and exercised tremendously every single day. Now, I’m 26, and I have no motivation to do anything. I want to be healthy with my mind and body. I want to lose weight and have a nice toned body but I can’t bring myself to start it. Lately I have been eating healthier but not enough. I am about 140 pounds and still the same height. People say I don’t look 140 pounds and that I look lower like 130. I have this mindset of wanting to be 115 pounds. Skinnier than I was in high school. Everything is just so messed up. I know I still have anorexia deep inside. It never goes away. I just don’t look so thin anymore. I just want to be thin so I can show off to these two people around me. Yes, I’m serious. I’m sick of being the way I am and I just want to prove them wrong. Make their ego shoot down even more. I have a body to where to have a butt, I gain weight pretty evenly but my butt and thigh are a bit bigger than my upper body. When I lose weight I lose weight in my upper body and face first and I end up have bones show. Like my ribs and collarbones. When I lost weight before I did get things said to me like I was losing too much but I liked that said to me. Even my boyfriend felt my ribs and he goes “you’re like bony.” And I said “no I’m not” even though now I look back, I was but I liked it. I want to be skinny. I wasn’t even starving myself. I was eating 1500 and exercising a lot(but I know the point of exhaustion.) But at least I was thin.... I want that back and I will. Just need to get past this “I can’t do it” stage. I can get skinny in a healthy way.
I started Paxil when I was 35. It was very effective for my anxiety and depression, but I gained about 100 pounds. I retired, got off meds and began losing weight, but that old familiar bully came back to life....you know, the one who lives in your head. I am now on Welbutrin, appetite is not too bad, love life is definitely better than when I was on Paxil, but have decided to have surgery. I will be 59 in July and think my brain now thinks being this overweight is where I am supposed to be. I'll be coming back to report on my results ASAP.
I really like your demeanor and your approach. I've been on anti D 30 yrs since loss of a baby to stillbirth. Last few years I've been on Pristiqe which works better than others and gained 20 lbs. Besides the weight just found out this drug is worse than others to come off of. Im75 going to gym and physical therapy to be more active. Trying.thanks
God this is so true, i get anxious,stressed and depressed easily especially during this pandemic. I was at 180 pounds during the summertime lost alot of weight from 215 pounds. But hearing the news with the pandemic being bad again and bill issues cuz of me getting laid off, i started eating to ignore my problems. One day its ice cream another day is chips and pizza. I know its bad for me, but i did cuz it was like a drug. To take my stress away. Im now 199 pounds😞. Im excercising often though but my diet still tough now cuz of this. Im taking this advice though. I appreciate it.
Congratulations on your "How To Lose Weight: Stress, Depression and Obesity, the Vicious Cycle" inspirational thanks for sharing. Personal Hygiene. Aripiprazole & Citalopram. 😙
First, thank you for the video. I'm trying to find my way to a healthier mind and body. It's frustrating. Second, is that an Alex Ross piece in the back?!
I would say my depression is so bad that it's disabling that the thing is that there's valid reasons behind my depression and the circumstances which cause this horrendous emptiness is this emptiness within me are never going to change it's the change I just have to somehow learn to deal with the hole in my life but it's very painful
Thank you for this video! You do a great job! I am a sugar and soda junkie and it is totally my comfort food! When I am happy, sad, bored and or rushing I want it and it’s our id control. I am taking phentermine now and I don’t crave it. It helps me want water and not soda for sure! What are some other ways to make sure I break this habit?
Wow I’m so glad i found this! I gained @ 85 pounds since starting Celexa 5 and a half years ago. I’ve tried getting off of it several times but the anxiety just keeps coming back. I’m scared to try to change medicine since this works so well but the weight gain is so depressing. Its like i obsess over food all the time and the cravings are unbearable. Sure wish i could find some freedom from all these food/mind battles. Maybe i should try phentermine.
The thing is I don’t take medication for it but use unhealthy food as my medication and unhealthy habits 😩 my weight gain is based on trying to make myself feel happy by eating and being unhealthy.
Magnesium will help with depression, it will also help you to sleep if you take the RDA around an hour before bed. I find it also helps with cravings for food. Magnesium is vital for the body, a lack of it can make you feel unwell.
i was obese but not too much already but i learned to like myself and not to each too much but im currently still depressed and i gained about 30 lbs . i wanna go back to the 50s or even less
I really want to lose weight, but I always end up failing and sometimes gaining weight because all I ever seem to truly want is to just sit around, sleep, and stress eat instead of being active and eating healthily. And I don't know what to do since I've been trying to fix this for years, and not even therapy or meds has really changed anything, and I just want to be happy and go out to parties with my friends and actually get into a relationship and stuff, but I can't since I always look and feel so terrible about myself.
I feel the exact same way. I've had issues with my weight and how I've looked for years. I want to do things to better for myself but I'm the same as you and I hate this cycle
Learning of the blood sugar meter In October 1969, Bernstein came across an advertisement in the trade journal Lab World. It was for a new blood glucose meter that would give a reading in 1 minute, using a single drop of blood, called the Ames Reflectance Meter. The device was intended for emergency staff at hospitals to distinguish unconscious diabetics from unconscious drunks. The instrument weighed three pounds, cost $650, and was only available to certified physicians and hospitals. Determined to take control of his situation, Bernstein asked his wife, a doctor, to order the instrument for him. Bernstein began to measure his blood sugar about 5 times each day and soon realized that the levels fluctuated significantly throughout the day. To even out his blood sugars, he adjusted his insulin regimen from one injection per day to two and experimented with his diet, notably by reducing his consumption of carbohydrates. Three years after Bernstein began monitoring his own blood sugar levels, his complications were still progressing and he began researching scientific articles about the disease. He discovered several studies on animals suggesting that complications from diabetes could be prevented, and even reversed, by normalizing blood sugars. This is in contrast to the extant treatment of diabetes which focused on Low-fat, High carbohydrate diets and on preventing hypoglycemia and ketoacidosis. Bernstein set out to achieve normal blood sugars; within a year he had refined his insulin and diet to the point that they were relatively normal throughout the day. After years of chronic fatigue and complications, Bernstein felt healthy and energized. His serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels were now in the normal ranges, and friends commented that his complexion was no longer gray. He was an early and vocal advocate for self-monitoring of blood sugar by diabetics.[2] Medical school Bernstein believed that the same technique could be used to assist diabetics whose quality of life could vastly improve if they followed a similar lifestyle. Despite his effectiveness in treating his own condition, as one without medical credentials (his training was as an engineer) he had difficulty gaining the necessary attention of the medical field to change the standard treatment of diabetics. Bernstein wrote a paper describing his technique and attempted to get it published in many major medical journals, but none would accept it, in part because he was not an MD.[2] In 1977, he decided to give up his job and become a physician--"I couldn't beat 'em, so I had to join 'em." At 45 years old, Bernstein entered the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In 1983 he opened his own medical practice near his home in Mamaroneck, New York. As of 2006, Bernstein had an HDL cholesterol of 118, LDL of 53, Triglycerides of 45, and average blood sugar of 83 mg/dl.[3] By 2008, at 74 years of age, Bernstein had surpassed the life expectancy of type 1 diabetics. He attributed his longevity to the low-carbohydrate dietary approach and lifestyle changes he had developed for diabetics. Low-carbohydrate diabetes diet and treatment plan Avoiding all foods with added sugar or honey such as desserts, candies, and pastries; all foods made from grains and grain flours such as breads, cereals, pasta, and rice; all starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn, carrots, peas, tomatoes, and beans; all fresh or preserved fruits and fruit juices; all dairy products except for butter, cream, and fermented cheeses, as well as full fat yogurt(for dairy products the more the fat content the less carbohydrate content) The patient takes responsibility for blood sugar control including blood glucose testing up to 8 times per day. You have the right to have normal blood sugars like a healthy non diabetic, so even when you eat, your bs should stay constant (see March 2017 teleseminar). Target blood glucose levels that are nearly constant for the entire day. For adults target is 83, for children before puberty normal is in the 70s, for pregnant women 65 is good. (Please refer to the teleseminar because this information is not in the book). If you were used to high blood sugars for instance 200 mg/dl (which is very high), you cannot go straight to 83 mg/dl because you will face symptoms of hypoglycemia, but you can set a higher target first, let's say 140 mg/dl. Same if you have normal blood sugars and got used to it, if your blood sugar reaches 120 mg/dl you may feel symptoms of hyperglycemia that others with non normal blood sugars feel at higher blood sugars(happened to dr.Bernstein Himself, see the video "Top 10 myths ...." By dr.Bernstein on CZcams" Weight loss for obese people with type 2 diabetes. Exercise(strenuous ) for all those with type 2 diabetes. Basal and bolus dosing for insulin users.

Love your videos!!! Would you please do a video about PCOS and weight loss and also talk about Metformin use for patients without diabetes. Thank you so much!!
Welbutrin wasn't strong enough for my anxiety, im on sertraline and I've tried paroxetine and celexa and I gained too much weight. I'm not sure if I'm holding onto water weight but I can't get under my current weight. Any suggestions on meds that wont cause weight for anxiety? I'm counting calories and working out daily and I just can't loose weight.. I've never had this issue until I went on Anxiety meds.
Has anyone attempted to withdrawal from the antidepressants, or successfully stopped taking them and able to begin losing weight. I feel like that is the direction I need to be going.
Hello Dr. first I really enjoy your videos .. Now I have been taking Topiramate 50mg and Bupropion HCL SR 200mg .. I have been having some blurry vision .. I have been looking in the internet and I have seen videos that say that Topiramtate can cause you to have blurry vision .. (It that true) .. I also take Lexapro 20mg and Mobic 7.5mg .. I really don’t know what can be going on .. I take some other medications as well because I have fibromyalgia .. So can you please answer me back .. If you need to know what Else I am taking let me know okay. Thank You
I gained weight on SSRI’s (for ocd) without really eating more. I even exercise more than ever.,I’d like some advise that Is different than the exercise and food thing. It’s also impossible to loose weight. feel I’m gaining purely from my medicines. So frustrating! Switched 3 times already but still impossible to loose weight! THAT’d what causes depression. Tried Lexapro, no significant weight gain, but didn’t work for me.
Ughhhhh here I am again 150 lbs, 25 year old 5’1 female. This has happened before. Two winters ago I weighed this much. At 18 I was 115 lbs and at certain points I’ve been 135 in my adulthood… but I sure do comfort eat. For damn good reason too. It’s unfortunate. I get so depressed in the Fall and it usually persists until Spring begins. I seem to drop and lose 30 lbs all the time. My diet alone cannot maintain my weight. I almost feel like I can’t control myself and my eating habits, especially as a single adult with a trauma history.. I blow money like there is no tomorrow on ridiculous shit like Uber eats. I hate how undisciplined I am. I hate my cravings. I just want to make up for the fact that I am very lonely and feel miserable. This winter I was trying to just live life and not worry about weight gain. I knew it was there but I decided not to worry about it and that I’ll work out more. Then I went to the doctor for a visit and the nurse mentioned my gain of 18 lbs since 2021. That definitely led me to realize I guess it was something to be concerned about that I’d gained weight. Kind of killed my mood and sense of well-being. I need some new clothes so I went to try some on today but realized how terrible my body looked in the mirror. I guess the part that makes me the most sad is 30 lbs can’t be lost over night. And then once it’s lost it has to be maintained. I can gain and lose weight, which is pretty challenging to do but I can’t maintain it with my depression and misery. ALSO, in order to work out its nice to fuel your body right and that requires eating and when I’m bigger I don’t want to eat and when I’m depressed I don’t want to cook. In order to lose weight and maintain it I gotta meal prep and workout often and for some reason my relationship with food is so bad I haven’t been able to get these things down. It’s sucks. Right now I’d say I feel too ugly to even meet new people, almost too ugly to show my face at work. Like I’m embarrassed and I’ve been hoping people don’t notice me. Thank you nurse lady and thank you adverse childhood!
Oh and btw to anyone who wants to challenge me on my weight…. Remember that according to BMI 5’1 female should be between 90-110 lbs!! It may be an outdated chart or doesn’t account for all factors but it is still a reference chart for medical professionals… so yeah.
That happened to me got put the n Zoloft and lexapro ughhh caused 60lbs in a 8 months I didn’t change my habits at all I was working out and eat pretty healthy ugh
My depression is sadness for valid reasons and those valid reasons aren't something that I can just make go away and I'm not sure how to cope and get better.... But I have to because I'm also miserable being fat it's like it just adds to how horrendous everything else in my life is. It's like if it's not already bad enough to be extremely fat right now just makes everything worse. And I can't explain why I do what I do.. And I don't know how to make it stop. But I have had such bad depression and neglect that like my teeth are going bad Because I go through episodes where I literally don't get out of bed to brush my teeth or take a shower for up To a week week and a 1/2 sometimes and I just have food delivered to the house and it's really disgusting . And I always wake up to being super behind on everything and hating myself even more. And it's just horrendous cycle. It's like when I'm up and out of it moving I tell myself I'm gonna stop but then I find myself right back in the same loop where I'm just so lethargic I've no desire to live everything feels really hard just even the smallest things things. And in that moment all I want is sleep . And I use high fat foods to go into deep States of dreams which are very enjoyable. They're often much better than my real life and I think I prefer being asleep because it's better than my waking life
I am 62yrs old I am on Welbutin, luvox, trileptial, kolopin,,propanahol,and atriptilin for sleep I was once 130Lbs now I am 200 pounds. I feel hopeless and more depressed. It took a long time of trial and error to find the right combination of meds that would help my mood yeah my mood is a little better now I sit here fat lonely, old and ugly! It's hopeless.
I know it's all about food ... but swimming 5 days a week at. Y saved I me.. no injuries... meeting many nice pp. .. i do it the same time each day.. I've lost wt ( nice) but my depression is. So much better.. I take 2 mental health med... it helps but ppl sometimes. Think just taking pill is all they need.. pick some thing you enjoyed as a kid ... try it.. can't just sit & do nothing... it don't work.. just move
I really wish I had find the *2WeightLossFast. Com* years ago. For 3 weeks of using the programs, I lost TWELVE lbs Of course I work out more than once a week, and also eat right. The effect presented to me is astounding. Without a doubt, this is strongly recommended and I do hope this would give good results to you too since it did to me
Thank you for the information I've been really struggling with obsessive thoughts about food since going on nortriptyline, I tried going off medication for a while for this issue as well as loss of libido but I just can't cope without meds. Despite really working hard to implement the advice you suggested I just feel hungry all the time, I feel like I can't trust the signals I'm getting from my body as I'll eat a really healthy balanced breakfast that should leave me feeling full and satisfied until lunch and in the time it takes me carry my dishes to the sink I'm already feeling as though I haven't eaten for hours, I'm wondering if phentermine might be worth a try in my case, I'm definitely going to make an appointment and ask my doctor I feel like I've really given it my best shot and am getting nowhere it's very discouraging.
I have MDD. I have Emsam. I have never had the tyramine issue. Using myfitpasspal, I can clearly see that if I stick to proteins and use less carbs, the depression becomes much worse. Why? Doesn't my brain need the sugar for neurotransmitters.
I was curious because my friend had lost weight and I wished to know how. They will suggested that I visit *2WeightLossFast. Com* . Once I listened to their advice, I lost 16 and a half pounds.?
when i get a depression i start eating unhealthy, but then i get fatter ...thats makes me depressed.....so i eat ....Fuck this shit I can do it ! and so can you. Get rid of all the junkfood in your house, i am following a low carb lifestyle that works the best for me
Weight gain is the # 1 reason for my depression. I can handle everything else life throws at me EXCEPT this!
Currently crying for this very reason.😥
So true! Same here!
Obesity ruined my life. It is only now I am beginning to appreciate how depressed I have been & how I need to tackle that as well as the obesity.
I'm crying too...I gained weight.. doctors don't understand especially in California
it's really hard to lose the weight though,i know exactly what i need to do to lose the weight but there are these demons voices in my head that convince me to overeat,let go of the diet
i just cried in the shower listening to this because when you said to bargain with yourself and do something you really want to do instead of having a snack, i realised there's absolutely nothing i want to do
Please see someone and they will help. Also, I find handcrafts help, especially weaving and straight stitching
@Picard sucks please see someone. There are times when we need someone to give us a torch to get us out of a very dark place
@@NeechBear the only medical professionals that have helped me has been Functional Doctors
Sitting in Church usually makes me feel better for quite a long time.
Me too. I just go through the motions
I tend to overeat when i am anxious or sad, mostly with carbohydrates which causes visceral adiposity
me too
OMG I crave the processed carbs when I am sad etc and these foods are so addictive
I dont even eat unhealthy or eat for comfort, my depression just makes it so hard to exorcise. I sleep but im constantly exhausted, fatigued, and unmotivated. :/
Have you checked your thyroid?
I also experienced the same thing mentioned above.I am taking prodep tablets for the past 24years.It increased my appetite&now I am 110kg weight&even thyroid too.
I don't know how to shed my weight &it makes me too dull.😢
Same 😔
I was doing great in journey of weight loss but in the middle it started to get hard and it increased my stress and unmotivated me and without motivation it's really getting more hard
@c s are you teenager?
I hate my body and it makes depression worse.
You got a cute face tho 😌
Me too.
Thank you for making these videos. I discovered them back in May 2017 when my doctor put me on Contrave. I watched every one of them and learned a few things and found motivation in your advice. Happy to say, I'm down 101 pounds since then!

My insurance won't pay for contrave.
I gained 70 lbs in the last 5 years and I am so depressed now I keep gaining it because I was depressed.
I really wish I had find the *2WeightLossFast. Com* years ago. For 3 weeks of using the programs, I lost TWELVE lbs Of course I work out more than once a week, and also eat right.

Great! Glad you are back. It's wonderful to hear a physician offer something more than eat less move more! Not as easy as it sounds. Thank you for offering us these tools to use.
I don't overeat but I just sit and do nothing cause I'm so depressed :(
Tye B thats me too! I cant even fit in any of my clothes anymore and i just feel so bad about myself. it debilitating.
Same
@@alisonwonderlandof1 Be happy , one all will be changed:)
Thinking of food just makes me nauseous
Sorry to hear that, hope your doing better. What really helps me when I feel like this is to go for walks outdoors and just be in nature. It doesn't have to be long just make it 10 mins or more. Best of luck to you.
It’s so nice to hear someone say “you’re doing great”, even if it’s someone I haven’t met through a CZcams video. Really appreciate your vlogs - they’re motivational & factual. Nice that someone is cutting through all the misinformation out there
I'm obese and depressed over my weight and binge eat and eat comfort food and then it's a devils circle..
I hope things get better for you and you find your focus; if you want to be thin, you will, if you want to be healthy, you will. My best to you.
Thank you for addressing the resistance in the medical community to use other means of weight loss besides diet and excersise. I am an RN working in the public health sector and this is rarely addressed, a real disservice to our obese a patient population.
Yes! You are correct, doctors do not assist with weight loss. I am tired the, "just eat less and exercise" response to a relationship with food that is totally out of whack. When I want to have a serious conversation about weight loss meds, Dr's look at me like I'm an addict trying to score an illegal substance. PLEASE branch out to more social media sources! Set up your laptop, tablet and phone each for Facebook video, CZcams and Instagram or Periscope and simultaneously vlog. I am so glad I found you. I finally found a Dr. who is supportive but I still need to send her links to your vlogs so she can get information pertaining to weight loss. Thank you!
I was feeling so down today and this has helped tons. Thank you is not enough!
Hey, thanks for doing what your doing here! It's appreciated! Already looking forward to the next episode :-)
You put out this video 6 years ago, but it's helping me today, thank you.
So grateful for your videos! Please upload more~ thank you for all the information~
Thanks I hear you. I’ve been obese and depressed for a year. Starting a 3 tier program through my medical center in 2020.
Exercise nutrition and Zero Big Pharma which was part of the problem
I really appreciate your videos and care. Thank you 🌞
Due to a friend, I searched Google for the *2WeightLossFast. Com* . It’s certainly the best plan and the best deal I’ve actually seen. My sister implemented it and shed 6 pounds. I just began and I’m already lower 5 lbs.?
God bless you! I loved this video! I’m on lexapro for almost 2 years now but I am struggling with 30lb weight gain. I stress eat.
Great information thank you doctor
Thank you for sound advice.
this was really helpful, I currently take prozac and I really think it's made my dependancy of food a lot stronger than it was before even though I did gain most of the weight before I started medication. I think I will ask about Welbec at my GP as I really am so unhappy with my appearance right now:(
love your video, you gained a new subscriber!:)
Thanks for your videos!
Currently up crying to myself , a mother of 3 and only 23 years old I went from being 115 lbs to 230 at only 5’1 I suffered from post parturm & now extreme depression due to my weight gain , it’s so hard losing weight because if you are already depressed and can barely find the strength to care for yourself imagine what losing weight feels like to someone who is suffering from depression , it’s hard with no will power or care for life ! I’ve tried to do things that I think would make me happy as far as buying stuff but it doesn’t help when I look in the mirror I feel disgusted with the person I am , I feel like a waste of life like there’s no turning back , I’m tired physically and I’m also tired of comparing myself to skinny people I feel so left out and unattractive that it effects my everyday mood .. I don’t even feel like I eat as much to keep gaining weight the way I am ..I’m honestly just waiting for my life to be over already because I’m not happy with my life
I understand much of what u said and relate. I hope u are in a better place now but if not, know you're not alone xx thanks for the comment , as it helps me feel not so alone too. Hugs
I really needed this today. Thankyou.
These videos are so helpful!
Maybe go shopping for a pair of shoes you’ve wanting, or some makeup, a handbag you’ve eyeballing! These are negotiations/trade offs for detrimental foods. Thanks for the video!
Yes I am a single parent and stressed out. My oldest is graduating in a week hopefully it will help me get back to myself
Awesome information
I also appreciate your videos.
This was very helpful thank you.
We need doctors like you in Tampa, FL! You are great! All PCP's I have been to don't even want to talk about weight loss and the excuse they say is it's not covered by insurance. Or they just say.. eat less and walk. Your videos are awesome! Thank you.
Try doctors weight loss it is in Tampa. Hey I am from Tampa too 813 baby lol.
My doctor refuse to take me off meds for schzophenia haldol ten mgs I mental feel better but suck at body fat excerise I refuse I do t wanna walk i just feel lost medicine is great but not motivated
Great info video. Thant you.
I've already started to do more exercise now, happy about that, also I made a deal with myself, sweet bread is my comfort food, so now I'm eating it once a week as opposed to 3 to 4 times a week, eating my weekly bread as I watch this right now :p
Thank you so much for this. I couldn't relate more with this vicious cycle. But I am trying my best to get up in the morning ang go to the gym even though I don't feel like it. I seem to always feel so much better afterwards and it helps me make better food choices throughout the day
I truly wish I could find such an awesome doctor like you here in Utah!? Your fabulous and until I seen your videos I never understood any of the whole "diet" medical assisted weight loss. I think phentermine would help me! I gained 60lbs since having my son. I have turned food into an addiction and I struggle with sugars and carbs. You brightened my day and I used some of your tools in previous videos. I'm now trying to find a doctor who can help me start phentermine. Do I need a weight loss doctor or just my regular family doctor? Thanks I love your videos!!
Thank you Dr
Well done, enjoyed the video.
This was helpful thank you.
Things I do to keep from getting more depressed when I’m gaining weight-shove it all in a body shaper and put on a really cute outfit.😂
AMEN!!! 😂
Ashley Phillips n

Great tip 🥰

Yes!!!
Thank u I'm disabled and have panic disorder and ptsd etc n pain so just doing physical stuff only thing I can do is water it's pretty painless
Before I started college I was active, but when I began college I would over study and rely on unhealthy snacks and meals, and for 5 years have been unable to lose weight until I saw this video a couple of months back, and have been eating healthier and making progress. I have lost 30 pounds.
Hey Dr !!!! Youve gottt this 💪
I don’t binge eat anymore. I went to therapy for it and now I actually lose my appetite when I get depressed or stressed. I don’t go to food no more. But I lose weight the wrong way by not eating much and then I start getting into a worse mindset and feeling horrible. Then when I start eating, even healthy foods, I start feeling guilty about it.
In high school I had anorexia but never got help for it because I was never dangerously underweight. I’m 5’6” and was at 120 pounds. I was thin. I ate very little, like not even 500 calories a day and exercised tremendously every single day.
Now, I’m 26, and I have no motivation to do anything. I want to be healthy with my mind and body. I want to lose weight and have a nice toned body but I can’t bring myself to start it. Lately I have been eating healthier but not enough. I am about 140 pounds and still the same height. People say I don’t look 140 pounds and that I look lower like 130.
I have this mindset of wanting to be 115 pounds. Skinnier than I was in high school.
Everything is just so messed up. I know I still have anorexia deep inside. It never goes away. I just don’t look so thin anymore.
I just want to be thin so I can show off to these two people around me. Yes, I’m serious. I’m sick of being the way I am and I just want to prove them wrong. Make their ego shoot down even more.
I have a body to where to have a butt, I gain weight pretty evenly but my butt and thigh are a bit bigger than my upper body. When I lose weight I lose weight in my upper body and face first and I end up have bones show. Like my ribs and collarbones.
When I lost weight before I did get things said to me like I was losing too much but I liked that said to me. Even my boyfriend felt my ribs and he goes “you’re like bony.” And I said “no I’m not” even though now I look back, I was but I liked it.
I want to be skinny. I wasn’t even starving myself. I was eating 1500 and exercising a lot(but I know the point of exhaustion.)
But at least I was thin....
I want that back and I will. Just need to get past this “I can’t do it” stage. I can get skinny in a healthy way.
I started Paxil when I was 35. It was very effective for my anxiety and depression, but I gained about 100 pounds. I retired, got off meds and began losing weight, but that old familiar bully came back to life....you know, the one who lives in your head. I am now on Welbutrin, appetite is not too bad, love life is definitely better than when I was on Paxil, but have decided to have surgery. I will be 59 in July and think my brain now thinks being this overweight is where I am supposed to be. I'll be coming back to report on my results ASAP.
I really like your demeanor and your approach. I've been on anti D 30 yrs since loss of a baby to stillbirth. Last few years I've been on Pristiqe which works better than others and gained 20 lbs. Besides the weight just found out this drug is worse than others to come off of. Im75 going to gym and physical therapy to be more active. Trying.thanks
God this is so true, i get anxious,stressed and depressed easily especially during this pandemic. I was at 180 pounds during the summertime lost alot of weight from 215 pounds. But hearing the news with the pandemic being bad again and bill issues cuz of me getting laid off, i started eating to ignore my problems. One day its ice cream another day is chips and pizza. I know its bad for me, but i did cuz it was like a drug. To take my stress away. Im now 199 pounds😞. Im excercising often though but my diet still tough now cuz of this. Im taking this advice though. I appreciate it.
i feel ya brov
Hi Dr. I came across your videos and have learned a lot. Can you talk about weight loss and alcohol? Thank you!
Thanks a lot
Congratulations on your "How To Lose Weight: Stress, Depression and Obesity, the Vicious Cycle" inspirational thanks for sharing. Personal Hygiene. Aripiprazole & Citalopram. 😙
First, thank you for the video. I'm trying to find my way to a healthier mind and body. It's frustrating.
Second, is that an Alex Ross piece in the back?!
Thank you this is so helpful 😍
Thank you
Thank you💗💗💗😥
I would say my depression is so bad that it's disabling that the thing is that there's valid reasons behind my depression and the circumstances which cause this horrendous emptiness is this emptiness within me are never going to change it's the change I just have to somehow learn to deal with the hole in my life but it's very painful
Thank you for this video! You do a great job! I am a sugar and soda junkie and it is totally my comfort food! When I am happy, sad, bored and or rushing I want it and it’s our id control. I am taking phentermine now and I don’t crave it. It helps me want water and not soda for sure! What are some other ways to make sure I break this habit?
Wow I’m so glad i found this! I gained @ 85 pounds since starting Celexa 5 and a half years ago. I’ve tried getting off of it several times but the anxiety just keeps coming back. I’m scared to try to change medicine since this works so well but the weight gain is so depressing. Its like i obsess over food all the time and the cravings are unbearable. Sure wish i could find some freedom from all these food/mind battles. Maybe i should try phentermine.
Beautiful
The thing is I don’t take medication for it but use unhealthy food as my medication and unhealthy habits 😩 my weight gain is based on trying to make myself feel happy by eating and being unhealthy.
Magnesium will help with depression, it will also help you to sleep if you take the RDA around an hour before bed.
I find it also helps with cravings for food.
Magnesium is vital for the body, a lack of it can make you feel unwell.
i was obese but not too much already but i learned to like myself and not to each too much but im currently still depressed and i gained about 30 lbs . i wanna go back to the 50s or even less
I know the way is through will and hard work, but I've always been depressed. I don't know what that's like.
I really want to lose weight, but I always end up failing and sometimes gaining weight because all I ever seem to truly want is to just sit around, sleep, and stress eat instead of being active and eating healthily. And I don't know what to do since I've been trying to fix this for years, and not even therapy or meds has really changed anything, and I just want to be happy and go out to parties with my friends and actually get into a relationship and stuff, but I can't since I always look and feel so terrible about myself.
I feel the exact same way. I've had issues with my weight and how I've looked for years. I want to do things to better for myself but I'm the same as you and I hate this cycle
Thanks hun
Nice
Learning of the blood sugar meter
In October 1969, Bernstein came across an advertisement in the trade journal Lab World. It was for a new blood glucose meter that would give a reading in 1 minute, using a single drop of blood, called the Ames Reflectance Meter. The device was intended for emergency staff at hospitals to distinguish unconscious diabetics from unconscious drunks. The instrument weighed three pounds, cost $650, and was only available to certified physicians and hospitals. Determined to take control of his situation, Bernstein asked his wife, a doctor, to order the instrument for him.
Bernstein began to measure his blood sugar about 5 times each day and soon realized that the levels fluctuated significantly throughout the day. To even out his blood sugars, he adjusted his insulin regimen from one injection per day to two and experimented with his diet, notably by reducing his consumption of carbohydrates. Three years after Bernstein began monitoring his own blood sugar levels, his complications were still progressing and he began researching scientific articles about the disease. He discovered several studies on animals suggesting that complications from diabetes could be prevented, and even reversed, by normalizing blood sugars. This is in contrast to the extant treatment of diabetes which focused on Low-fat, High carbohydrate diets and on preventing hypoglycemia and ketoacidosis.
Bernstein set out to achieve normal blood sugars; within a year he had refined his insulin and diet to the point that they were relatively normal throughout the day. After years of chronic fatigue and complications, Bernstein felt healthy and energized. His serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels were now in the normal ranges, and friends commented that his complexion was no longer gray. He was an early and vocal advocate for self-monitoring of blood sugar by diabetics.[2]
Medical school
Bernstein believed that the same technique could be used to assist diabetics whose quality of life could vastly improve if they followed a similar lifestyle. Despite his effectiveness in treating his own condition, as one without medical credentials (his training was as an engineer) he had difficulty gaining the necessary attention of the medical field to change the standard treatment of diabetics. Bernstein wrote a paper describing his technique and attempted to get it published in many major medical journals, but none would accept it, in part because he was not an MD.[2] In 1977, he decided to give up his job and become a physician--"I couldn't beat 'em, so I had to join 'em."
At 45 years old, Bernstein entered the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In 1983 he opened his own medical practice near his home in Mamaroneck, New York.
As of 2006, Bernstein had an HDL cholesterol of 118, LDL of 53, Triglycerides of 45, and average blood sugar of 83 mg/dl.[3] By 2008, at 74 years of age, Bernstein had surpassed the life expectancy of type 1 diabetics. He attributed his longevity to the low-carbohydrate dietary approach and lifestyle changes he had developed for diabetics.
Low-carbohydrate diabetes diet and treatment plan
Avoiding all foods with added sugar or honey such as desserts, candies, and pastries; all foods made from grains and grain flours such as breads, cereals, pasta, and rice; all starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn, carrots, peas, tomatoes, and beans; all fresh or preserved fruits and fruit juices; all dairy products except for butter, cream, and fermented cheeses, as well as full fat yogurt(for dairy products the more the fat content the less carbohydrate content)
The patient takes responsibility for blood sugar control including blood glucose testing up to 8 times per day.
You have the right to have normal blood sugars like a healthy non diabetic, so even when you eat, your bs should stay constant (see March 2017 teleseminar).
Target blood glucose levels that are nearly constant for the entire day. For adults target is 83, for children before puberty normal is in the 70s, for pregnant women 65 is good. (Please refer to the teleseminar because this information is not in the book).
If you were used to high blood sugars for instance 200 mg/dl (which is very high), you cannot go straight to 83 mg/dl because you will face symptoms of hypoglycemia, but you can set a higher target first, let's say 140 mg/dl. Same if you have normal blood sugars and got used to it, if your blood sugar reaches 120 mg/dl you may feel symptoms of hyperglycemia that others with non normal blood sugars feel at higher blood sugars(happened to dr.Bernstein Himself, see the video "Top 10 myths ...." By dr.Bernstein on CZcams"

Great idea! I would love a video about this!
Omg I don’t have an abuse history but I struggle with emotional eating n it lead me hear
Do you have any videos on being overweight and being embarrassed to go out
Welbutrin wasn't strong enough for my anxiety, im on sertraline and I've tried paroxetine and celexa and I gained too much weight. I'm not sure if I'm holding onto water weight but I can't get under my current weight. Any suggestions on meds that wont cause weight for anxiety? I'm counting calories and working out daily and I just can't loose weight.. I've never had this issue until I went on Anxiety meds.
Has anyone attempted to withdrawal from the antidepressants, or successfully stopped taking them and able to begin losing weight. I feel like that is the direction I need to be going.
Hello Dr. first I really enjoy your videos .. Now I have been taking Topiramate 50mg and Bupropion HCL SR 200mg .. I have been having some blurry vision .. I have been looking in the internet and I have seen videos that say that Topiramtate can cause you to have blurry vision .. (It that true) .. I also take Lexapro 20mg and Mobic 7.5mg .. I really don’t know what can be going on .. I take some other medications as well because I have fibromyalgia .. So can you please answer me back .. If you need to know what Else I am taking let me know okay. Thank You
Iam fat and iam soo depressed
Hi can you talk about phendimetrazine med with taken with phentermine
I use keto and IF fasting.. Works great!
No question that anti-depressants helped me, although I exercised anyway. With them I could break the food comfort cycle and eat less.
I gained weight on SSRI’s (for ocd) without really eating more. I even exercise more than ever.,I’d like some advise that Is different than the exercise and food thing. It’s also impossible to loose weight. feel I’m gaining purely from my medicines. So frustrating! Switched 3 times already but still impossible to loose weight! THAT’d what causes depression.
Tried Lexapro, no significant weight gain, but didn’t work for me.
I gain so much weight on antipsychotic. I can't even cry because my meds won't let me. I feel paralyzed mentally.
Do you work with people out of state?
I have weight issues because of meds for anxiety and depression...can't take it anymore....
Ughhhhh here I am again 150 lbs, 25 year old 5’1 female. This has happened before. Two winters ago I weighed this much. At 18 I was 115 lbs and at certain points I’ve been 135 in my adulthood… but I sure do comfort eat. For damn good reason too. It’s unfortunate. I get so depressed in the Fall and it usually persists until Spring begins. I seem to drop and lose 30 lbs all the time. My diet alone cannot maintain my weight. I almost feel like I can’t control myself and my eating habits, especially as a single adult with a trauma history.. I blow money like there is no tomorrow on ridiculous shit like Uber eats. I hate how undisciplined I am. I hate my cravings. I just want to make up for the fact that I am very lonely and feel miserable.
This winter I was trying to just live life and not worry about weight gain. I knew it was there but I decided not to worry about it and that I’ll work out more. Then I went to the doctor for a visit and the nurse mentioned my gain of 18 lbs since 2021. That definitely led me to realize I guess it was something to be concerned about that I’d gained weight. Kind of killed my mood and sense of well-being. I need some new clothes so I went to try some on today but realized how terrible my body looked in the mirror. I guess the part that makes me the most sad is 30 lbs can’t be lost over night. And then once it’s lost it has to be maintained. I can gain and lose weight, which is pretty challenging to do but I can’t maintain it with my depression and misery.
ALSO, in order to work out its nice to fuel your body right and that requires eating and when I’m bigger I don’t want to eat and when I’m depressed I don’t want to cook.
In order to lose weight and maintain it I gotta meal prep and workout often and for some reason my relationship with food is so bad I haven’t been able to get these things down.
It’s sucks. Right now I’d say I feel too ugly to even meet new people, almost too ugly to show my face at work. Like I’m embarrassed and I’ve been hoping people don’t notice me.
Thank you nurse lady and thank you adverse childhood!
Oh and btw to anyone who wants to challenge me on my weight…. Remember that according to BMI 5’1 female should be between 90-110 lbs!! It may be an outdated chart or doesn’t account for all factors but it is still a reference chart for medical professionals… so yeah.
That happened to me got put the n Zoloft and lexapro ughhh caused 60lbs in a 8 months I didn’t change my habits at all I was working out and eat pretty healthy ugh
WILL EFFEXOR(a small dosage) INCREASE MY APPETITE OVER TIME?
I also weight gain for my depression and anxiety.obese weight from 73 to 115 in 2 years
From zoophobias also
What do you do for eating disorders? Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder.
My depression is sadness for valid reasons and those valid reasons aren't something that I can just make go away and I'm not sure how to cope and get better.... But I have to because I'm also miserable being fat it's like it just adds to how horrendous everything else in my life is. It's like if it's not already bad enough to be extremely fat right now just makes everything worse. And I can't explain why I do what I do.. And I don't know how to make it stop. But I have had such bad depression and neglect that like my teeth are going bad Because I go through episodes where I literally don't get out of bed to brush my teeth or take a shower for up To a week week and a 1/2 sometimes and I just have food delivered to the house and it's really disgusting . And I always wake up to being super behind on everything and hating myself even more. And it's just horrendous cycle. It's like when I'm up and out of it moving I tell myself I'm gonna stop but then I find myself right back in the same loop where I'm just so lethargic I've no desire to live everything feels really hard just even the smallest things things. And in that moment all I want is sleep . And I use high fat foods to go into deep States of dreams which are very enjoyable. They're often much better than my real life and I think I prefer being asleep because it's better than my waking life
I am 62yrs old I am on Welbutin, luvox, trileptial, kolopin,,propanahol,and atriptilin for sleep I was once 130Lbs now I am 200 pounds. I feel hopeless and more depressed. It took a long time of trial and error to find the right combination of meds that would help my mood yeah my mood is a little better now I sit here fat lonely, old and ugly! It's hopeless.
I take amitryptilene at night for arthritis to help sleep, can I take phentermine in the morning? Thank you for your great videos!
Ask droctor this medicine phenetermine Thursday ok
I know it's all about food ... but swimming 5 days a week at. Y saved I me.. no injuries... meeting many nice pp. .. i do it the same time each day.. I've lost wt ( nice) but my depression is. So much better.. I take 2 mental health med... it helps but ppl sometimes. Think just taking pill is all they need.. pick some thing you enjoyed as a kid ... try it.. can't just sit & do nothing... it don't work.. just move
(Eats entire can of nuts while watching the video )
I really wish I had find the *2WeightLossFast. Com* years ago. For 3 weeks of using the programs, I lost TWELVE lbs Of course I work out more than once a week, and also eat right. The effect presented to me is astounding. Without a doubt, this is strongly recommended and I do hope this would give good results to you too since it did to me
Thank you for the information I've been really struggling with obsessive thoughts about food since going on nortriptyline, I tried going off medication for a while for this issue as well as loss of libido but I just can't cope without meds. Despite really working hard to implement the advice you suggested I just feel hungry all the time, I feel like I can't trust the signals I'm getting from my body as I'll eat a really healthy balanced breakfast that should leave me feeling full and satisfied until lunch and in the time it takes me carry my dishes to the sink I'm already feeling as though I haven't eaten for hours, I'm wondering if phentermine might be worth a try in my case, I'm definitely going to make an appointment and ask my doctor I feel like I've really given it my best shot and am getting nowhere it's very discouraging.
I have MDD. I have Emsam. I have never had the tyramine issue. Using myfitpasspal, I can clearly see that if I stick to proteins and use less carbs, the depression becomes much worse. Why? Doesn't my brain need the sugar for neurotransmitters.
I was curious because my friend had lost weight and I wished to know how. They will suggested that I visit *2WeightLossFast. Com* . Once I listened to their advice, I lost 16 and a half pounds.?
I had a doctor tell me that welbutran is a placebo. After I paid 165 dollars for it.
Wtf?! I would be pissed
We need a meal plan,just tell me what to eat
when i get a depression i start eating unhealthy, but then i get fatter ...thats makes me depressed.....so i eat ....Fuck this shit I can do it ! and so can you.
Get rid of all the junkfood in your house, i am following a low carb lifestyle that works the best for me
This is me
I dont really see how i can fight this depression
You can. I believe in you ♥️
how to fix the meds ? ssris they all cause weight gain
