Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

This is an excellent question and is a very difficult problem for many people.

The best way to approach this is to really mentally not give up. Generally we would consider a daily exercise regimen to be crucial in helping to maintain continued weight loss. If you feel that your weight-loss has completely stopped and has become resistant despite exercise and diet you might ask your doctor to check some laboratory studies including a fire XXXXXXX function test.

some doctors might consider prescribing weight-loss medications but bees can be somewhat dangerous depending on the patient's baseline health status.

again the main thing is to really not give up on your weight-loss goals. I would encourage you to sit down with your doctor to review your goals and to also see if you might need some type of laboratory testing as well.

Thank you again for sending your question and I wish you luck in focusing on continued optimal health and optimal weight.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
