TLC star Dr Now was shocked by one weight loss patient as she pulled down her trousers to reveal her stomach, which hung over her legs and down to her ankles
A TLC doctor has been left stunned by one woman’s weight.
The TV channel posted a clip to their Instagram page with the caption: “Jacky’s stomach are has grown to hang low between her legs and Dr Now worries she doesn’t have a realistic understanding of how many calories she’s consuming.”
Dr Younan Nowzaradan began by asking Jacky if he can take a look at her stomach. She pulled down her trousers and apologised for “using baby powder” as Dr Now assessed her frame.
After a moment’s pause he said: “Well, this is where your body has stored that extra fat. That pulls down because it’s heavy and then some fluid retention makes it heavier, then it pulls [down more]. Then more swelling. So, the only way to get rid of this is to lose some weight.”
Jacky agreed as Dr Now ordered her to get dressed before asking: “What have you done to lose weight?”
She replied: “I’ve been going to the gym, but I stopped going because I fell and embarrassed myself there.” Dr Now gave her a reality check: “You weigh 700lbs. Exercise is not a factor in your weight loss.”
“The only factor that affects your weight loss is your food. Okay? So how many times do you eat in 24 hours?”
Jacky told him “once or twice” as he quizzed the patient on her snacking habits. She denied “snacking in between” because she “works from home”.
Dr Now quipped back: “From what you’re telling me you should be 250lbs. So where are the extra calories coming from?”
Jacky tried to tell the medical professional that the weight has “been on her body for so long” that it is “hard to get off,” but Dr Now wasn’t having any of it: “You know your weight is related to your calorie intake in one day and calories you spend in one day?”
He informed Jacky that she would have to “cut down” and “eat less calories” if she wanted to lose weight.
