    1. Stop calling yourself a fat slob it is mean to yourself and all the others here.
    2. Talk to doctor

    Male, 49. What's your weight? What's your goal? Were you using any kind of supplements 2 years ago before the 3 heart attacks?
    Speaking of, did your 3 heart attacks leave damaged tissue in your heart which would limit its capacity to pump blood now?

    Those 3 heart attacks are a very big deal and probably mean that way you got the great body 2 years ago won't be possible this time. They also mean that the standard advice for weight loss might not be right for you now. Perhaps you really should consult with your cardiologist to learn what you can do toward this goal.

    Check out the Weston A Price foundation: https://www.westonaprice.org/journal/journal-fall-2014-what-causes-heart-attacks/

    Also, find yourself a holistic physician / nutritionist and make an appointment.

    Good luck and be well!
