What went wrong with our diet?Instead of blaming the victim for obesity, or yourself for obesity, it is important to understand what drives the weight gain, such as insulin resistance that affects up to 71 percent of the entire population out of which 35 percent already have metabolic syndrome. Confusing choices With over 20,000 books written on this topic with so much misleading information, let a trained practicing weight loss physician, Dr Prab R. Tumpati,MD educate you on the true science and art of obesity medicine. Why the food pyramid failed? The now withdrawn and failed food guide pyramid was a disaster as it advocated a low fat, but glycemic diet that leads to increased risk of insulin resistance which in turn causes weight gain. Metabolic starvation in the obese Most people that gain weight are not on a mission to gain weight intentionally. It is the paradoxical metabolic starvation that happens in the obese due to insulin resistance with a compensatory increase in the anabolic hormone called insulin that drives weight gain, hunger and metabolic starvation leading to food cravings, and weight gain! |

- Low calorie diet (LCD), or Very low calorie diet (VLCD)
- Weight loss medications - watch this youtube video on the review of the best weight loss medications for fast weight loss in Rhode Island

However, a combination of low calorie diet and exercise, or diet alone would work for weight loss but not exercise alone.
- Correction of insulin resistance, metabolic, sleep and other causes for weight gain in Rhode Island for fast and effective weight loss.
- Surgical options for losing weight such as the gastric bypass surgery can be an option for some to lose weight in Rhode Island although most might regain the weight even after surgery and a behavior weight loss program is still needed for long term weight loss success in Rhode Island.
