 hope you are doing well. I heard about your struggle with obesity, and I wanted to offer some advice. Eating healthier food like fruits, vegetables, water, and fresh juices is important. Try to avoid unhealthy options such as burgers, French fries, chocolate, and ice cream. Creating a balanced diet and healthy daily menu can be beneficial. Consider starting your day with milk, an apple, and fresh orange juice for breakfast. For lunch, opt for chicken breast with fresh vegetable salad. At dinner, try fish soup accompanied by another serving of vegetable salad. Regular exercise is also key to losing weight and improving your health. Take care.
