William986 I have been told by health professionals all my life extra weight effects all conditions. I was also told once I got the cancer diagnosis that it particularly complicates cancer and it's treatment. I took it more seriously then, and lost a lot of my excess weight on purpose. I still have about 50 pounds to go, which is hard when you add in the complications every health condition presents. But I figure as long as you are sincerely trying, being reasonable and not cheating in a sensible way it is far better in the long run. Much more a healthier course of action than trying to do some tricky speed-loss which only ends up being temporary. Look to change your metabolism first, the the weight will leave easier, especially for men. Metabolism in men tends to work more efficiently in the first place, and once activated seems to act turbo-charged. You do have an edge for yourself there.
