Hello, welcome to the "Scientific Weight Loss Course." I am Jessica. In the last lecture , we mentioned that weight loss medications have limited effectiveness and considerable side effects, so they're not recommended for casual use. Besides taking medication, are there other medical methods that can help us lose weight? Of course there are. I remember one day, the young nurse at our rehabilitation center's front desk was urgently looking for me, her face flushed with anxiety. When I asked, I learned that a Ms. Cao, 38 years old, had come to the front desk and, after just a few words of conversation, was insisting on weight loss surgery and wouldn't take no for an answer. The young nurse was completely bewildered and didn't know how to respond, so she came to find me. When I went over to see, I immediately understood why the nurse was confused. Although Ms. Cao was somewhat overweight, her dress and demeanor were very comfortable and had the temperament of a u...

Hello, welcome to the "Scientific Weight Loss Course." I am Feng Xue. In previous lectures , we discussed various aspects of lifestyle adjustments in detail.

  Hello, welcome to the "Scientific Weight Loss Course." I am Jessica. In previous lessons , we've discussed in detail how to establish a healthy lifestyle, from adjusting diet and efficient exercise to managing stress and sleep. As the saying goes, "External cultivation through action, internal cultivation through mind"—we've achieved both internal and external cultivation. But I must remind you that when it comes to weight loss, your own efforts alone are not enough. You've surely had experiences like this— Yesterday you made a resolution to go for a morning run, but this morning your mom turned off your alarm; friends around you often persuade you, "Life is short, you should enjoy it while you can. We rarely get together, can't we eat something good?"; colleagues are enthusiastically ordering bubble tea together, and when everyone else is excited but you say "I'm on a diet, no thanks," over time, people feel you're not ...

What's the Most Difficult Part of Weight Loss? Before we start, I want to ask you a question: What's the most difficult part of the weight loss process? Is it lacking methods and not knowing what to do? Definitely not. All academic consensus on weight loss has been delivered to you in our dozen lessons. Is it because you need to eat less and can't tolerate hunger? Not really. As mentioned before, eating more fiber-rich fruits and vegetables makes you less likely to feel hun...
