“… you just need diet and exercise.”
“… referring you to see a dietician.”
“… do you think you have an eating disorder?”
“… you need to diet harder.”
How many times have you heard lines like these from your family doctor?

This is a guest post from Shelley Tessmer, a patient of Dr. Sam’s who he successfully helped lose weight.
Hi, I’m Shelley, a 47-year-old woman who has been married for 25 years and has a 17-year-old son. I’m a finance professional who works 40+ hours a week and volunteers five days a week at our local animal shelter.
I first came to Dr. Sam’s office on August 26, 2009 weighing 171.5 pounds with a body fat percentage of 38.6. At that time, I was 43 years old. Today I am very proud to say I weigh 118.5 pounds with a body fat percentage of 22.4.
