[QUOTE="aneuman, post: 265180, member: 43264"] Based on my experience, it may not take you that long. Granted, I can be quite obsessive (or so my wife, my friends and my psychiatrist say ;-) but if you clean up your diet, and exercise moderately, you can see changes in a shorter period. Here are some of the changes I made in less than 6 months (from February 16 to June 24, 2018. I was 54 yo) Body weight: 187 ->165 lbs Body fat: 25->19% Blood Pressure: 140/90 -> 124/71 Cholesterol: 205 -> 174 Triglycerides: 187 -> 72 HDL: 38 -> 51 LDL: 129 -> 107 Glucose: 99 -> 80 Vit. D3: 38 -> 60 Vit B12: 383 -> 2000 eGFR: 60 -> 106.7 What I remember is that: [LIST] [*]I walked on the treadmill every day, sometimes 30 min, sometimes 1 hour, not more than 3-4 mph (couldn't do more back then) [*]started taking stairs instead of elevators [*]started walking everywhere as opposed to driving [*]reduced added sugar to basically 0g [*]no glutten (bread, pizza, pasta, etc) [*]no juices, sodas, deserts or anything sweet [*]most of the food was grilled, not fried [*]lots of vegetables [*]no alcohol [*]and I think I did intermittent fasting for a short time [/LIST] I continued to do most of the things above, not all, I'm more relaxed now, so I have the occasional beer or desert. I have put on weight (on purpose), still 20% body fat. My heath markers are good, but not as good as they were in June 2018. Blood pressure still the same. So what I mean is that you probably take it a little less to the extreme than I did, and with more moderation, you could achieve something similar in 6 months probably. The most important thing is to rule out any existing condition that cannot be fixed by lifestyle changes. For that, you need to see a doctor. Notice however, that with weight loss and cardio, your testosterone probably will suffer a bit, so that doesn't rule out exploring TRT. Hope this helps. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
