How To Loose Weight?
i never drink alcohol and have never smoked. I am 57 years of age. I control diabetes with Janumet and take atorvastatin. I struggle with weight management and am about 50 lbs overweight. Recent blood work revealed a GGT of 74.00 U/L. I am concerned. Have you any advice? Thank you, Kimberly
