The thing is, I really need overall to start just making healthy choices: I'm hypoglycemic, too, and I'm not really supposed to be eating sugar…

Entering my own recipe

Everyone is different…but you learn so much about your body and how it responds during a weight loss journey. Macronutrient distribution is a biggie for me.
