The best way to help obesity it to find a physician to help. Obesity is a disease; it isn't a choice even if we have some bad habits. We all know it is easy to do the right thing when we see results, when we feel good and when we feel good about ourselves. I suggest that you go to the following link and find a doctor who treats obesity to help you: https://obesitymedicine.org/about/find-a-provider/

I wish you all of the success in the world. I battle it, too!
Greetings, thank you for your question. This is a sensitive topic in view of so much misinformation and promotion of several weight loss products.
The most important detail in view of managing obesity is the real cause behind the weight gain.
Most patients suffer metabolic/ hormonal problems like in the case of thyroid disorders or in view of diabetes, etc…
If poor nutrition and lack of physical activity will contribute immensely to obesity.
Always seek consult with your primary physician with proper lab work to determine any major causes.
