What part of the Hippocratic Oath does this refer to? If anything, the Oath specifies "us[ing] those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment".

I'm consistently 20-30 kilo above what was considered ideal weight for my height. It took 10 different visits to 10 different doctors to find my life-altering disease that was caused by basically a slow acting infection. 9 of them attributed my very real and severe symptoms to "well, what do you want from me, you're a fatty fat fat and until you fix this you will be bad and miserable and actually deserve it, and did I mentioned you're fat?". All of them were as smug as you are right now, all of them presumably thought that they're helping.
Now that that shit is fixed, I'm still the same weight, but weirdly enough, no symptoms and I am feeling good. Almost like my body type has nothing to do with anything.
And that's what the meme is referring to.

I heard Dr Mike saying the other day how we a doctor, prescription drugs suck. End of the day, they have serious risks vs benefit. But the one thing known to give you the benefit of drugs without the risk is lowering your weight. Like across the board it improves so many things. I don't envy doctors who know what the answer is but are told they're assholes for trying to help

Me: "I've tried everything I am physically capable of trying short of anorexia. Ive tried to walk. Ive tried lifting weights. I've even starved myself. 200 calories every other day for 3 months. Nothing works. I think I may have a legitimate medical issue"

Doctor: "Drink water and walk. Thatll be $250."

Me:

200 calories every other day

Forgot to mention the 8000 calories on the alternating days but I’m sure that’s fine

You would be stufied because it's impressive that your body can just grab calories out of thin air. Obese people lie about what they eat, it's really simple. That's why doctors don't take these people serios.

None of that is what you should be doing. I mean yes you should be exercising. But not the way you are going about it. For context, I just lost 50 pounds, and have another 20 to go. I got a scary liver diagnosis due to a lifetime of overeating.

Download a calorie tracker and be super honest with it. At first don't be as concerned with staying within your calories as you are about building the habit to ALWAYS log everything. Seeing it laid out has more impact than anything else in changing your daily habits. Don't be tempted to skip little tastes, licks, and bites.

Additionally, do not starve yourself! Slowly change your habits and your body will do the rest. Starving yourself will only trigger your body into gaining weight by holding onto everything it gets. It will also make just about everyone quit within a few weeks. If you are finding yourself constantly starving (as opposed to occasionally hungry) then you need to make adjustments to what you are eating. Swap foods for better options. I swapped my late night chips, which kept me awake while driving trains at 3 am with no sleep for two days, with baby carrots I bought at the gas station. I found potatoes helpful in keeping full in the past, but had to avoid them for the liver. Potatoes aren't super high in calories, but sour cream, bacon, cheese, and/or deep frying them is.

Remember that your body adapts to the foods you regularly eat in about 4-6 weeks. So if you start eating healthy foods you hate, like a salad with tuna and sliced beets, you will start to crave it in about a month and a half. (Tuna has fish oils and beets are chock full of antioxidants). I have hated oatmeal for 40+ years, and now that is my preferred breakfast. I tried to make myself like it over and over but this time I stuck with it long enough to actually get my body hooked on that particular set of nutrients.

Oh, and if you set your home address to Europe in My Fitness Pal, it gives you some of the premium features, like the barcode scanner.

Absolutely quit soda and energy drinks. That one is just hard and there really isn't an easy answer for it. Sparkling water helps a bit, but really just plain water is the best at satisfying those cravings. Oh, and you will develop a massive sweet tooth when you quit soda. But if you try to stay within calories and drink a Mt Dew you will be starving by the end of the day. Diet soda is NOT better just because it doesn't have calories. It messes with the way your body processes and stores everything else it gets making it just as bad (worse) than the regular stuff. Stevia is ok for a lot of things, but getting your tastes used to less sugar is a huge step in losing weight and getting healthier.

What harm is the doctor doing to fat people in your opinion?

[–] albert180@piefed.social 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People love to claim that doctors don't take fat patients seriously and complain when they tell them to loose weight.

In the Fediverse there are also some Nutjobs who will claim that being morbidly obese isn't unhealthy and that those doctors just don't have a clue if they think it is unhealthy

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

#loose

Fat people can lose weight. Loose people... are more fun I presume.

Isn't it well-known that doctors frequently dismiss health concerns with "have you tried losing weight?"

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Weight gain can turn a small thing into a bigger thing. A outpatient procedure is more likely to turn inpatient if the patient is over 300lbs.
