Chug a litre or two of water before a meal.
Wouldn’t that give, roughly, the same effect?
My mom had the bypass and it just seems like a physiologically/psychologically unhealthy method of weight loss
I’m not all that concerned with myself, I just had the thought when she was explaining how the bypass works.
I put my theory to work with my lunch and I think it works. I had exactly 1litre and about half of what was on my plate and I’m stuffed
Water is commonly suggested as a means of helping people feel full and thus causing them to eat less at a meal…it works for some people better than others…obviously if it were that easy for everyone, obesity wouldn’t be such an epidemic in the US…
If you think it will help you, then go for it…it’s certainly not harmful for you to drink a couple of glasses of water before eating, and there are other healthy benefits to staying well hydrated…
…add to that plenty of exercise and you may have found a method that works for you
"My mom had the bypass and it just seems like a physiologically/psychologically unhealthy method of weight loss"
Sooooo………..it would be psycholoigcally, physiologically for your mom to remain morbidly obese? Come on now, you know you mom didn’t make this decision to have gastric bypass surgery overnight, and I bet if you asked her how many diets she has tried, she would tell you she lost count or gave up on diets and "fad" things a long time ago, and surgery was the last option open to her.
And no, chugging a lot of water before eating has does not in any way, shape or form, have the same effect as gastric bypass.
Acai berries would solve everything. Expensive though. (Pure berries, I wouldn’t trust supposed "extracts" of them)
That’s funny. Just chug some water before you eat and it will end all obesity. We have world scientists and doctors working on this issue that are geniuses, and here you come up with a simple solution that works. How did we ever miss this amazing discovery? Are all you obese people listening out there? Everyone drink some water before you eat and you will all look like skinny models before you know it.
By the way, I need a vacation. Can I join you on fantasy island there or is it full and has no vacancies?
