A way of eating that leads to weight loss (if you have any to lose) might be helpful. A low cholesterol diet probably won't do anything unless you have a specific family gene.
Mine only improved when I had enough weight off to exercise more.2 -
Same boat here @KMayf1. I started my journey to avoid the meds ~15 months ago. Earlier this summer my nutritionist said the priority, in order, was: stop smoking, lose weight via exercise, and then nutrition.
And, if it's genetic as @NovusDies mentioned then, welp, we're kinda screwed anyway but at least we'd be screwed at a healthier weight lol
I don't friend on MFP but I'm friendly so I look forward to seeing updates about your journey over time. You got this!
