I think I’m going to try eating foods with a low glycemic index as a start, for something specific to do since my attempts to just eat “more healthy/less unhealthy” and exercise more have left me still gaining a little weight when what I need to do is lose weight (I went from underweight to nearly overweight due to chemotherapy, I have always been skinny no matter what I eat or how little I exercise so I really haven’t had to deal with this before). My mom suggested that, she remembered it from when my dad saw a dietician a while ago. Then if I’m still not seeing results, I’ll switch to low-carb.
