Unsure: Sorry, not aware of what SABA is. There is no one way to lose weight, but a good start is portion control and increasing exercise. check with your doctor as to what may be the best type of plan for you and your lifestyle, as you may be pre diabetic. I would also get your thyroid checked as if that is not working properly, weight loss will be difficult.
