I even tried some strange home remedies a lady at my health food store guaranteed would work.
Like mixing beet juice, honey, oranges, strawberries, and more. (Spoiler: She was wrong.)
While still trying "natural home remedies," I also used body wraps and put ginger slices in my socks.
(I'm a bit embarrassed to say I slept with ginger in my socks...)
Next, I tried a low-carb diet. There were some great meals, but I missed eating pasta a lot.
Then I tried calorie counting, went gluten-free, and even became a vegetarian for a whole month. BUT, my weight didn't change!
I wondered, "Is something wrong with me on the inside?"
So, I made an appointment with my doctor friend, Sarah, to get checked.
