No drugs..not a strict diet but once realized just sugar intake alone, was part of downfall, things changed. Not only felt better within a month, but he lost 15 pounds.
Living in TV can be a downside to food intake. Restaurants mostly not healthy are abundant, and within minutes in your golf cart. Small changes can help, there are clubs in TV that may help get you started.

Good info - thanks. I agree, sugar intake is the cause of so many health issues. It really is a poison, and so addictive. Sugar is hidden in the majority of processed foods, and often with foreign sounding names in the list of ingredients. Even eating out is not safe, since most restaurants don’t make their own sauces, but buy them premade in bulk in jars and cans from Sysco, which contain a plethora of non-food and sugar-laden ingredients.
