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.

What on God's green earth makes you think the doctor knows you any better than an internet source????

Or even knows what a good diet is considering how they teach nutrition in med school.

We all know they're not going to tell you anything but the approved AMA/FDA narrative, and the FDA diet (food pyramid) will destroy your health. It's far too carb heavy.

The current shape more of America is is testament to what following FDA/AMA guidelines will do to one.

“Go see your doctor. Listen to what they say.”

Yeah, I beat cheeks to doctors every time I have a question because ... you know ... they were so helpful during Covid.
