My 600-lb Life is a reality television series that follows the journeys of individuals who are severely obese as they attempt to lose weight and regain their health. The show chronicles the challenges they face and the progress they make as they work towards their goals with the help of a weight loss specialist, Dr. Nowzaradan.

Each episode typically features one individual or couple, who are shown at their heaviest weight and struggling to perform even basic activities of daily living. Dr. Nowzaradan creates a customized weight loss plan for each patient, which includes dietary changes and exercise goals. The show then follows the patients over the course of several months as they attempt to adhere to the plan and make progress towards a healthier lifestyle.

While the show has been criticized for its portrayal of obesity and the way it handles sensitive issues such as mental health, addiction, and trauma, it has also been praised for shedding light on the struggles of individuals living with extreme obesity and promoting the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The show has inspired many viewers to make positive changes in their own lives, and has even been credited with saving the lives of some of its participants.
