The Art of the “Sneal®”
Although it may sound counterintuitive it’s a fact. “The secret to losing weight is eating.” says Dr. Ray Powell M.D. board certified bariatrician and Physician Nutrition Specialist and founder of his Physician’s Plan Weight Management practice and CarbEssentials stores.
I was amazed when I looked at myself when I was 38 years old and I was 250 pounds. I was at least 75 pounds over what I should weigh. I hated myself. I looked at my wife and wondered how she could have been attracted to me when I was so fat. My back was always killing me and I could not even keep up with my 5 kids.
I will be sitting down with a patient discussing their weight loss struggles. I see on their chart that over the last month that they did not lose any weight. Before I can say anything the patient will lean forward in a hushed tone and say, ”Dr. Powell, I have a secret. I’m a stress eater”.
