There are four pillars of obesity:
- Nutrition
- Physical activity
- Behavioral change
- Pharmacology
Your weight loss doctor needs to be willing to use medication in the long term if necessary. They should be ready to combine medicine and continue prescribing it for maintenance.
If they aren’t of this mindset, they aren’t legit. Obesity is a chronic disease.
