Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old and about 240 pounds. I went to see a nutritionist, and she did not relay much information to me but told me what I already knew about myself. It seems like I am not progressing, although I have eaten healthier than before. I try to eat turkey and chicken with vegetables, but I know nothing about cooking. Maybe I should have the same meal plan every day? I feel that will be easier. My BMI is 40. I believe I need some advice on how to get healthier and lose this weight because my cholesterol is a bit high. I cannot rely on anyone in my family to encourage or help me out.
