The first thing you can do is talk with your medical doctor about your concerns and ask for healthy ways to become more fit. They are familiar with you and your personal issues and could offer tips for getting in shape in a healthy manner. Likely it would include the usual recommendations such as moderating food intake, eating healthier foods such as fruits and vegetables, curbing unhealthy food and drink and exercising. Sometimes medications do contribute to weight gain and a medical doctor should be able to tell you if they believe that is the case. Keep in mind your goal should be to be healthy and discuss how to do that with him/her. Call or text us anytime at 888-222-2228.
