Lifestyle should bevthe main conduit to weightloss, but some people are well outside being able to make progress through lifestyle only. Having said that, definitely change the lifestyle.
Choices take time, but so did becoming morbidly obese.
I admit I wouldn’t know how to help someone who is extremely obese or has certain medical issues.
I’ve trained guys and got them in much better shape.
Numerous small changes over time add up.
Training and discipline over time become habit.
This is why people are always chasing the ephemeral trends of pills and fad diets.
The real key to losing weight is exercising every day and limiting your diet to fresh foods in as much of their natural state as possible.
That requires discipline and is very difficult to sustain in the modern world, where you can't even go to a business meeting without an entire table laden with snacks and high calorie drinks.
“...definitely change the lifestyle.”
Some times the lifestyle can’t be changed to make a difference. One is the problem in the US with Insulin resistance. It is estimated that four in ten people in the US have it. And it leads to other problems that break the body down to where the other problems have to be controlled to defeat the problem of obesity. And even then it may not be possible to do so. Diabetes, one of the players in insulin resistance, adds heart and respiratory problems. And the dominoes just keep falling faster than you can pick them up. It’s kind of like Lucy trying to stay with the chocolates.
If you put less gas in a car it doesn’t run as far or as well depending on the gas. Same with bodies. If you don’t get the nutrients we naturally need then the body doesn’t run right and more problems surface in many ways making it unable to correct any of them. Vicious circle.
