A member asked:

My family gets diabetes at early ages. i've noticed a weight gain, i'm not too concerned but i want to know if there's anything to help lower my fat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lifestyle changes: Exercise 30-45 minutes each day. Reduce your calories. Goal is a 5-7 lb wt loss over next 6-12 months. Get screened for diabetes by your family doctor. Best of luck!
