Trying to lose weight..is it better for someone my age/weight/height to eat higher proteins? carbs? or fats? i am not very active
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High protein: low carbs (complex carbs like vegetables are good), and good fat (olive oil, coconut oil, not transfats in junk food). Movement is crucial. Walking is good. Peace and good health.
