Carlos Fernández Ramos is a physician based in Spain, an anesthesiologist and pain-management specialist, and the founder of FitDoctor. He spent years on the other side of this problem: he explained the consequences of excess weight to patients and could not make his own weight loss last. In 2024 he was a GLP-1 patient himself: he went from 227 to 172 pounds and built along the way the method he now uses with his patients. That method became the Spanish edition of this book, published in 2026, and then The GLP-1 Meal Map.
His training includes a university diploma in obesity and associated conditions from the University of Navarra and a UCAM master’s program that includes nutrition. He has also developed an adherence app as part of his work.
How this site is written
Every answer on the map pages is quoted from the book, which relies on US prescribing information and on US public-health and professional sources, checked in September 2026 and listed in full at the end of the book. When something changes, it is recorded on the updates page. The site does not ask for your email or any personal data.
This book and this site focus on practical skills and do not offer US medical consultations. Decisions about your treatment are made with your prescriber.
The book itself
Eighty routes, 56 recipes with their protein counted, two weeks of menus with their shopping lists, 20 home exercises and a 12-week strength program. On Amazon now: Kindle $9.99, paperback $16.99.

A short review on Amazon is the one thing that makes the next patient find it. Two honest lines are enough — and they help more than any advertising.
