I had put on a lot of weight the last couple of years; I did 12 hour shifts and put tons of sweet things in my mouth when I got home from work.
I have all good numbers labwise, but my BP was way too high, so I went to a naturopath and she advised me to go on a gluten free diet, and dairy free for heartburn; and give up sugar. I allow myself one piece of dark chocolate a day; and the weight is coming off quite well. My BP is normal.... I also walk with weights 30 minutes daily.
Congrats on your weight loss! Wish you the best.
