Besides WLS, are there other proven solutions to obesity? (Need citing references and no "just diet" answers)
For severe obesity, weight-loss surgery cannot be the only solution! Are there any other options? Are there any coaches out there who can help with weightloss, fitness, nutrition, re-training the family, re-training attitude and beliefs about food, etc.? Added after the 1st two answers were pretty useless: I too believe that it is about curbing the diet and excersing. I also believe that the body can get addicted to food. That is why I call it a disorder. Once again, can someone provide PROVEN ways that has helped someone conquer this disorder by re-training the mind & habits, fitness, etc.? As in the original question, PLEASE do not provide a "just diet" answer, and PLEASE provide citing references. Thank you so much!!!

- Why can't people just accept that you have to watch what you eat? Try seeing a nutritionist, they can help you with planning meals and can probably help you with an exercise plan.
- There are many programs out there that will help a person. Working out and a proper diet though are the best known ways to deal with that issue. Obesity truly isnt a disorder. What happens is a person eats so much that their bodys actually are addicted to the food they are eating. It seems far fetched but it is the real answer. When you are diagnosed with obesity, it is to make you feel as if you are experiencing a problem that you arent in control of. In reality the problem was made by you, so you can fix it on your own.
- Below are some links; however all do stress diet and exercise. I know there are hospital-like places for severely obese people to go and learn how to eat and exercise. Andover Village Retirement Community is one I've seen on TV.
