I haven’t been logging any journal entries or food for several months now. I’ve stayed at almost the same weight for about 6 months, so I think it’s time to make the effort to lose a few pounds. I’ve maintained most of my good eating habits and my lipid panel numbers have significantly improved over the last 3 years. My A1C is at 5.4 so no concern there.
I’m intrigued by the new drugs being used for weight loss…technically I would qualify, but I doubt I would take something that could effect my liver, pancreas and thyroid and have to be used for life, unless you want the weight to come back.
I intend to read up on the actual trials, results, etc. Preliminarily, I read that people lowered their caloric intake by 20 -30%, were also supposed to be exercising, yet they lost only around 16-17% over 68 weeks; that’s 17 months @$1000-1400/ month. And they could have all kinds of digestive issues as well!
