Weight loss is difficult for me. I definitely have metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetic. Do you have any advice?
If you’re pre-diabetic means you’re not on insulin yet. Get one of Jason Fungs books or watch his you-tube videos. Intermittent fasting is the way to go. Try different diets - keto, carnivore, low carb and of course fasting. Jason Fung gives helpful hints on fasting so you don’t get scared or frustrated. And how to do it safely.
Simplest for many people is to cut sugar soft drinks out of your diet. Walmart has generic sucralose which is not expensive... That and ice tea or some powdered soft drink.
