Some of the basics–drink plenty of water, eat well-balanced, small meals or snacks every three hours, exercise, breakfast really is the most important meal of the day so don’t skip out, you can keep the “healthy” fats in your diet, don’t over-do it, and cut out trans fats. Just stay active and things should start getting better for you. Before you take any vitamins or supplements, talk to your doctor. Don’t be obsessive with exercise, our bodies have limits–just don’t stay inactive. If you’ve had no changes in a couple months, visit your doctor. Hope this helps. Take care. :-) -S
