As they say…you cannot outrun a bad diet.
I love coming on these threads and hearing everyone tell everyone else how to deal with their weight issues.
Here is a trick: Go see your doctor. Listen to what they say. Make a decision.
Listening to people who don’t know you, your history, or anything else about you is a fools errand.
There is often advice, that if taken by the wrong person, will affect them horribly.
