Video Q&A: Why is it so difficult to lose weight?

Hi,
I have a few more questions for the Drs. as I was thinking about the topic...

1) How does hypothyroidism affect efforts to lose weight?

2) I've read that dieting doesn't work, especially in the long run. Is this true? If so, what is a healthier and more sustainable alternative?

3) Is there any merit in counting calories/restricting calories, or is this not a healthy approach?

Thank you; I really look forward to the Q&A.

I'm unfortunately not able to see the video at all 🙁 Maybe there is a technical issue

From a Mayo Clinic Connect member: How does one lose weight gained during BED – Binge Eating Disorder? Are there any treatments for BED?

Where do unhealthy food cravings come from? And how can we control them?

Hello,
Technical issues prevented me from watching the video. Can you please make the video available, perhaps through YouTube? I really wanted to see it!
Thank you!

@bren1985, Sorry that you had technical issues. It happens at the most inconvenient times, doesn't it?

Brenda, In the past, I think that the videos are posted, along with answers that came in after the video timed out. @kanaazpereira, Do you know if the video will be made available to those who didn't get to view it? Rosemary

@bren1985 For me the video is at the top of this page.

@fourof5zs, Thank you for pointing this out:-)

@bren1985, If you click on the video start symbol, it will do a short countdown before the actual video begins.

Thank you for your help, @fourof5zs and @rosemarya 🙂 I was finally able to see the video (turns out I needed a plugin). Have a nice holiday season!
