500 fewer calories per day was a sure way to make the test work.

As far as I can tell, every drug has side effects, mostly undesirable.

It's good to have drugs when nothing else works, and you need them to keep from getting sicker or dying. On the other hand, if you can do it with diet and exercise, it's a better choice.

I know diet and exercise isn't easy, and harder for some than others, so I don't want to be judgmental.

After a few different attempts, keto and walking 2 miles a day worked for me. Now I'm the only person in my immediate family who is under 300 pounds. My BMI is actually normal!!!
