Hi gage,
If you are concerned about your heart, talk to your doctor so that any issues can be addressed. You should also ask him for a referral to a Registered Dietitian who can help you with weight loss and offer support as you work on making long-term changes. Here are some articles that can help with weight loss: Portion Control is Key, Calories, Beginning Diet Changes.
Best Regards,
Karen McPartland, RD
