Doctor Talk Can Affect Weight Loss Objectives

How the doctor talks to you during your dieting regimen may affect the results of the weight loss program. If you thought this was gibberish, a study is here to prove you wrong.

While not all the doctors (only 70%) speak to their clients regarding issues relating to weight loss and bulging waistlines, there is a subtle impact on the patients. A study has revealed that the more motivational and positive a doctor is while he speaks to his patients on weight loss, the faster the latter sheds the flab.


Doctors who jab or confront their patients regarding their weight tend to be more prudent and do not lose as much weight as those under cheerful doctors. While some say this is a basic example of how human psychology works, others indicate patients find a companion in their doctors during their struggle to lose the inches around their waists.

If the doctor or the physician lends a kind ear to their troubles and motivates them or provides easy ways for weight loss, the patients find it easier to bear the troubles of slimming. And those who have judgmental people for doctors find it harder to burn those calories.

So if you were wondering why those sessions at the physiotherapist’s were not helping in killing the flab at all, try asking the doc to smile! It might help, for all you know!
