For some people that “eating fewer calories” part might be only eating a few hundred calories a day because of insulin resistance (hello?), certain medications they’re taking (like beta blockers) or plain old stupid genes.
Do you keep your calories under a certain amount every day? Myfitnesspal used to be good for tracking that. Now I use cronometer!

The average resting human body burns like 1200-1800 calories a day. So no, not a few hundred lol. If OP ate around 2000 they’d probably start to lose weight.

Has it occurred to you that OP has heard advice like yours with varying levels of condescension literally all their life?
And they haven’t asked for weight loss advice in this thread. They asked for advice on accessing healthcare their doctor has deemed necessary.
