Losing weight couldn’t be any easier nowadays and costs basically nothing. All it takes is a food scale ($10-20), a food tracker app ($0 - I use Fitbit) and some discipline.

It is never easy to lose weight.

Not for everyone...

I am 6’ tall and, right now, about 262. I work out three times a week. I have a physically active job.

I have been on special diets where they provide 100% of the food. I was given 1200 calories a day. I lost 3 pounds in 3 months. It wasn’t until it was cut to 900 calories a day that we cranked up my weight loss to about a pound a week.

My doctors have FINALLY agreed that I have a metabolic issue. Unfortunately the test to nail down the issue costs over $10K and my insurance will not pay for it.

In the meantime they have me on Wegovy. It kills your appetite, virtually erasing all interest in food.

I would rather have them treating the underlying issue...in addition to the weight I have a low heart rate, low-ish blood pressure, and a low body temperature (about 96).

Because, of course, every single human’s system is exactly like yours, right?
