Losing a pound a week is doable, right?

Of course you can. But you cannot tell me you have only one doctor to choose from. You deserve better than this one. 

I highly recommend the Fast Metabolsim Diet (there is a book and app to help track plus supportive FB groups). Diet stands for Did I Eat Today and it follows clean eating like others have suggested - no wheat, corn, sugar, dairy, caffeine, soy, diet/fake/processed foods, no dried fruit or fruit juices, alcohol, etc. It's more of a lifestyle shift than a diet that deprives you of something. I lost 25 pounds in less than 5 months and have kept it off over a year (even with adding some ice cream and sweets back in and not exercising) and feel so much better. When I cheat or eat crappy foods or too much sugar, I can definitely tell and feel sluggish. Lots of water, veggies, fresh fruit, lean protein, healthy fats, but in specific combinations (three phases throughout the week, repeatedeach week) to reset your body and metabolism. Three meals and two snacks a day - you need to fuel your body. Her book really explains the science behind why it works (I checked it out from the library, but you can find most of the "rules" online or pinterest).
