Obesity

Years ago my dad put me on a weight loss medication called Adipex and it made me lose all the weight but it caused me to breakout all over my face now my face is full of marks but on the bright side I am going to a dermatologist now. I gained back the weight even more now. I hope to never go back on any pills that make me breakout on my face that made me feel so embarrassed. Does anyone know how I can lose the weight quickly and safely? I am on medications for mental illness and they make me feel hungry. I just want to lose the weight naturally. It’s hard because both of my parents are diabetic and my mom likes to feed me. It would mean the world to me if I lost all this weight naturally forever and kept off all the unwanted weight forever

It’s been approximately 2 years since I’ve last posted, and I will admit a lot has changed.

Two years ago I was in a dark place. I felt hopeless, and I saw myself as a failure. When I was younger, I never really understood what was wrong with me, and as a result, I chose to not seek professional help because I felt nobody would understand me especially since I didn’t know what I was going through myself.

Thinking back now, I now understand that my ADHD + my medication for ADHD (I no longer take this medication) is the reason why my mental health went downhill. ADHD affects my ability to do certain important tasks, and it also affects my ability to take care of my hygiene and physical health.

At the same time, I also lacked social skills because I spent most of my life inside the house doing nothing but playing games and watch YouTube. Because of my inability to get myself to do anything combined with my lack of friends, I felt lonely and like a failure. I saw myself as a failure because I couldn’t get myself motivated enough to do simple things such as getting myself a job or basically anything.

That’s why, I decided to plan my suicide after graduating high school, but at the last minute I hesitated so instead, I waited for my mom to kick me out of the house so that I won’t have any reason to live anymore. But later on, I attempted to get a job which wasn’t easy because I tried to resist my feelings.

Now two years later, I have a job, and I’ve been in college for about two years. I haven’t had suicidal thoughts since the day I got accepted into the job. I can say my mental health has gotten a little better, but I’m not completely healed.

I still do feel lonely sometimes because I still lack social skills, and I still spend a lot of my time in the house (and yes, I’m aware that it’s unhealthy to be inside the house all the time) . Sometimes I have small depression episodes. I’m assuming the reason why I get small depressive episodes is because of the lack of dopamine in my brain. I usually get these episodes after eating a large unhealthy meal or just random. Usually, when I feel this way, I tend to feel drowsy and sad. Listening to music is kind of like a dopamine booster to me because sometimes I’ll suddenly feel, happy, energetic, and motivated to do anything which is why I tend to listen to music when I feel sad sometimes.

To this day, I try to avoid thinking about negativity by distracting myself in playing games and watching YouTube, because my symptoms from two years ago would likely return. My symptoms would also likely return when my physical health starts going downhill because of my obesity or when I start living in a house of my own due to loneliness.

Overall, my mental health is a little better than it was before from 2 years ago, but I know I’m not fully healed as I’m still at risk of old symptoms returning.

Hi, my name is lostandalone. I'm looking for people to talk to. Who can at the very least understand what I’m feeling, even when I can’t find the right words to to express those feelings!!!

First just let me clarify that English is not my 1st language.
I've been diagnosed with BPD, Major depression and Social Anxiety. I also have high blood pressure and diabetes. It always seems like. I'm craving for something, at this time I'm unemployed so I don't know if this is because I can't find a job, because when I'm working, I'm totally ok with just one meal a day. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Thank you.

All of my adult life I've been embarrassed to wear shorts or dresses above the knees because of my thunder thighs. Well, it's a new day and a new way. It's hot and I'm about to trot.

The gut is the center of a biomedical revolution. This whole field is disrupting modern medicine.

Autism, Depression, Anxiety, Parkinsons, and Cancer are ALL related to the gut microbiome

Our gut affects our whole body. The gut is the second brain. Our brains have never existed without signals coming from the gut.

70% of our immune system lives in our gut.

You get your first habitable microbes when you are born out of your mother's womb. We shape our gut microbiome based on our experiences. The relationships you have, the pets you have, exercise, stress, the food you eat. Because of this, everyone has different microbiomes. It is a collection of microbial memories.

Knowing the microbiome is the key to health is key because you can't change your genes. BUT you can change your microbes by simple edits to your diet and lifestyle.

The modern-day microbiome is pretty unhealthy and is pushing up to this prevalent rise in chronic conditions such as hypertension, food allergies, diabetes, obesity, etc. The way we think about disease needs to change.

Changes to our environment. Western diet. the way babies are born (c-section), baby formula, sanitation, and antibiotics, all lead to decreased microbiome diversity, Exactly what we see in today's industrialized microbiome.

Currently, in the states, 60% of the calories eaten are ultra-processed and ultrally refined. This strips it of its natural ingredients and adds in a ton of processed sugars and chemicals.

When you look at quote healthy labels, it is hard to depict what is even in it. Most healthy labels are full of sugars and processed chemical components. Because of this, it is very hard to navigate what you should be eating. The food and wellness world is incredibly confusing.

Current recommendations in the United States recommend 28-40g of fiber per day, HOWEVER on average we are only eating 15g at most in the average American diet. The field of microbiome science is realizing we need to be eating access to 50g of fiber per day. If you don't feed your microbes fiber, they start to eat you. If you stop eating dietary fiber, the microbes need to start eating something. If there is no fiber, it will start to eat away at your mucosal gut lining and spread to various parts of your body, causing inflammation all over. Which can lead to many diseases such as IBD or IBS.

If a gut microbiome is very diverse and has a different variety of bacteria, then it can adapt to what life throws at us. A bouquet of possibilities.

Well I am depressed again. I had a job interview for a full time at the library I work at a few weeks ago and I did not get it. I was heavily depressed during the weekend and it made me self-aware of a lot of things wrong with me. My autism, my obesity, my anxiety, etc. I do not know how to feel anymore. Any advice?

Hi, my name is Jellybelly32340. I'm here because
I developed prostate cancer. I immersed myself in the study of health and nutrition. FFiber is the secret Dr. Denis Burkitt 20 years in Uganda, a country of 10 million people 150 rural hospitals. 1971 Interview. Far more fiber, far more starch, far less fat, far less sugar, far less salt, abolish fried foods. Eat more brown bread. Top two. More fiber. Less fat. Western countries diet has too much fat sugar and salt cause sickness/ diseases. Western countries diet 15 grams of fiber, 80-100 grams of stool increase risk for chronic diseases. In India/ sub Sahara countries diet 100 grams of fiber 300-500 grams of stool exempt from Western diseases.

Americans eat 240lbs to 300lbs of animal products each year. Meat Consumption in the U.S. Is Growing at an Alarming Rate
