knownwell Weight Management Westmont

Let me start by saying that Dr. Barnes is a very nice person. However, my experience with this practice left me with frustration. I felt that I had to pull teeth to get suggestions for how best to lose weight. I was expecting to be given me numerous strategies but instead found myself having to ask question after question re: best methods---e.g., should I try intermittent fasting, etc etc? I felt that weight loss medications were strongly recommended instead of natural alternatives. I did try the meds, but had to stop using them after experiencing side effects. I saw other patients using liquid replacement meals, which I tried but they tasted disgusting so I had to stop. Again, this is not a natural way to lose weight. I did like the dietician Elizabeth O's tips. I left this practice & went to a different practice in Bolingbrook, where best practices were extensively discussed and was given a very useful handout of multitude of options, e.g., intermittent fasting, etc.
