I haven't tried keto, but I've had success with intermittent fasting. I was going to try that next if the fasting didn't work. A lot of people do IF and Keto together. I've been doing research about insulin resistance and HIV and how that leads to weight gain and then diabetes. Intermittent fasting or keto made sense with everything I was experiencing in my weight loss journey. And had removed a lot of belly fat.

Honey all I can say is my man was 350 lb when I met him and he's now 240. No diets, nothing intense, just good old-fashioned discipline, good food and exercise. Lot of hugs.🤗

I am however drinking green tea. The special type. That has added benefits. For the rest of the day. I will be drinking water!

@A myHIVteam Member. My doctor took an educated guess and put me on it when I had an allergic reaction to the biktarvy. I’ve been on it now for 9 months with no adverse effects and I’m very close to being undetectable.
