I'm 55 and WAS overweight...
Last April, my doctor told me I had to do something about my weight, I'm 6ft 5 and weighed 262...The problem, my blood sugar had gotten too high...I had 2 uncles that had diabetes...
On April 23rd, I went on a low carb diet...By July 4th, I was down to 232, a loss of 30 pounds...I haven't had a soft drink or sweet tea since April...I've had exactly 2 baked potatoes, I don't eat french fries and very little bread, rice and pasta...
Take my advice, lose the weight, you body will thank you...A side benefit, I don't get tired anymore...Hiking, carring a tree stand, doing yard work, it's like I'm 35 again...
