Tell me if it sounds familiar to you:

One morning, when you get out of the shower. You look in the mirror and notice that your waist is enlarging.

In addition, lately, you feel more tired than a year ago. You find it difficult to stand for a long time and climbing stairs is an odyssey. The hot season has even begun and you don’t dare to wear shorts or a swimsuit. because you don’t feel comfortable with your body, you’re embarrassed.

What is common: You ask a co-worker, a neighbor on the fifth floor or you are looking for a “fast weight loss diet”. Because well, you do not want to follow the diet forever, the sooner you lose weight the better!
