Hey, I just got back on this app after a little hiatus. I had knee surgery 10 months ago and I gained a lot of weight while I was out of work. I’m a firefighter and I’m trying to get back in shape because my job demands it. I’ve lost over 20 lbs so far but I need help eating healthy.

Looking to make some new friends on here to keep me on track! Any help and motivation is appreciated!

    Hi Tyler! My dad is a retired firefighter and I know how in shape you guys/gals have to be. He recently started a low carb/high fat diet (keto) and has lost a lot of weight and can run farther than he's ever been able to before (he's in his 60s). He's gotten off a lot of medication too just by cutting out a lot of carbs and sugars. I figured if an old man like him can do it I can to! Lol

    Hey! That’s great. I’ve heard people say that that diet works miracles but I’ve also heard that it’s not good for you lol. I never know what to do when it comes to diet. I am trying to eat as low carb as possible but it’s hard. It’s amazing how many health problems are directly from the type of food we eat!
    We can for sure do it.
    Thanks for reaching out!

    You don't have to eat low carb to be healty, and low carb isn't necessarily unhealthy either.
    You need a balanced and varied diet. You can eat anything you like in moderation.

    Well that makes perfect sense, thank you! Everything in moderation. I don’t think I could survive without some carbs lol
