Dr. Flum specializes in surgical management of gastrointestinal disorders and surgical treatment of morbid obesity.
What is his advice for people who want to lose weight? He says if most people changed two things in their lives they would lose weight.
One is to avoid fast-food, the other is to walk on a regular basis (do 10,000 steps per day).
He says "One of every five Americans eats at least one meal per day in the car. Most of those meals come from fast-food franchises. There are fast-food meals with 1,400 calories (way more than half of a healthy amount for the day) and up to 800 of those calories come from unhealthy fats. If you can make one change in the way you eat, I would recommend not eating fast food or treating it as the very occasional splurge."
