I had a really bad scare several weeks ago. I kept getting dizzy out of nowhere. Long story short I went to the ER.
They rushed me back thinking I was having a stroke.
Spent 2 days in the hospital and they did every test they could do. Brain is clear. Heart is clear. Spinal cord is fine.
No stroke or heart attack. Come to find out there's white clusters in your ear drums. For whatever reason my right ear cluster spread apart and was giving me vertigo. I had NO IDEA. I was eating food with my wife and mom, and the dizzy spells came out of nowhere.
Long story short after all said and done, I had a follow up appointment with my primary care doctor. They did more lab work and mentioned my weight. I am 5'6ish 210lbs. 34% body fat. I have been up and down in weight for years. I am on TRT, but in all honesty I eat like crap. I try so hard to eat good and then I fall on my face.
When it comes to working out, I am limited...I have a herniated L5 S1 in my back. I'm also fighting major tennis elbow on my right arm. My doctor mentioned meeting with a local weight loss doctor. I did. Again, was told the same thing. I am 34% bodyfat and I should be down in the 17-20%bf range.
They are coming up with a meal plan for me. I am in a car 8 hours a day for work. I am in and out of the car. So, it is hard to eat 'clean' with how picky I am. I'm a steak, chicken, pork guy....and I can't eat said foods cold. She's going to come up with whatever she can to help me diet wise.
To fight cravings, they have mentioned Zepbound. The weight loss drug. They asked if I am open to trying it. Eh, the only thing it really isn't trying, it sounds like you're stuck on it for life.
I really don't know much about it, and I fear those sorts of drugs will cause heart issues and other issues long term. I don't know.
I have to get this figured out. I need to drop the weight. Easier said than done.
Are you on Zepbound? What are your thoughts?
As far as the natural route, what advice do you guys have? My biggest thing is just fighting the cravings. Again, I do great for a few days and then bam, bad routine again.
