About 5 years ago I had 150 new people following me every day. My tweets were seen by many then one day it all stopped…. A website in Europe detected that I was #shadowbanned by @twitter 1/

The bottom line is that lifestyle alone leads to dismal results which are ineffective for most BUT necessary for ALL as additional treatments such as medications and bariatric surgery are ineffective without including diet change for the treatment of #obesity see study below 5/

The values that apply to obesity treatment are noticeably different than treatment of other medical issues such as: high cholesterol, hypertension, and heart disease where lifestyle change is not overemphasized and further medications or treatments and not met with controversy 4/

Although proponents for bariatric surgery do not consider it a last choice, many patients will try all options before following through with #bariatricsurgery. 3/

The first component of any medical or surgical weightloss program is diet change and additionally for surgery - psychological evaluation. There are many people (arguably most) who consider or begin the process for surgery and attempt or re-attempt a lifestyle change alone. 2/

Why do diet zealots hate obesity medicine and surgery?
Are they worried about their books and services?

We have an OBESITY CRISIS globally and especially in the #US
At $260 Billion obesity is a drag on our economy but more importantly it is a main cause of our decreased length of life, quality of life, and driving healthcare costs upward at a dramatic rate. Read @Jmortonmd

Not even an article or two in @thehill will stimulate either party to start legislation to combat the #obesity crisis globally. They keep ignoring the issue.

Government policy on overall population #health must put aside the short-term economic loss caused by potential legislation that will change to a healthier #food composition and supply. The end result “like climate change” would be a humanitarian and economic boon to humankind.

If and when you go to the polls in the #US today realize that NO major politician has made #Obesity an issue yet the disease is possibly the greatest cause of poor health, relating to most other health conditions
