is an extreme transformation and typically involves a combination of the following:
💉 1. Medical Intervention (Bariatric Surgery)
Most people who lose this amount of weight safely and effectively undergo:
- Gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery
- These surgeries reduce stomach size, helping limit food intake
- Often paired with psychological support and lifelong dietary changes
🍽️ 2. Strict Medical Diet
- Low-carb, high-protein medically supervised meal plans
- Often includes meal replacements and portion control
- Calorie intake may be reduced to 800–1200 kcal/day under supervision
🏥 3. Hospital Supervision (Early Stage)
- For individuals at extreme obesity levels (e.g., 500 kg), initial weight loss may begin in a hospital or clinic
- Focus on preventing sudden health risks like heart failure, infections, or immobility complications
🧠 4. Psychological Therapy
- Many extreme obesity cases are linked to emotional eating, trauma, or food addiction
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or support groups are often part of treatment
🏃 5. Gradual Exercise
- At 500 kg, initial movement is minimal — possibly physical therapy or bed exercises
- As weight drops, more activity (e.g., swimming, walking, resistance bands) is introduced
💊 6. Medication (Sometimes)
- Appetite suppressants or GLP-1 agonists (like Ozempic or Wegovy) can help
- Only used under medical supervision
⏳ 7. Timeframe:
- Losing this much weight safely could take 2–5 years
- Extreme, fast weight loss without supervision is dangerous
