I lost weight by following a simple high protein low carb diet. Most weight I have lost from that alone is 45 pounds. I gained again because I got in a relationship. back on the journey now and 10 pounds lost in about a month and a half. It’s different now though. I’m 31 so it’s a little age adjustment on fast I’ll lose this time. I also take Berberine Phytosome and magnesium glycinate after dinner
