Hi, first post here. I've (27f) struggled with my weight my whole life but I've managed to lose significant weight before. Had a surprise baby, and wa-lah, almost back to my highest weight lol. I had a doctor appointment a few days ago and, let's just say my blood work has given me the motivation to get my butt back in gear. So, I got high blood pressure after having my baby. I'm 15 months post partum and unfortunately am still on medication to manage it. I also recently found out my a1c is 5.7, so bordering pre-diabetic. In addiction to that, my cholesterol is somewhat high and my good cholesterol is super low.
I remember back when I thought getting healthy was as simple as CICO and I'd eat my calories in ramen and pizza. I lost 80lbs before eating like garbage and I liked that simplicity lol.
I guess my question is...should I try to follow a strict diet this time around or just do what I did before and just eat at my deficit and hope my medical ailments reverse with weight loss? Anyone else have experience here? I'm only 27 and I have a good 100lbs to lose.
Tldr; I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetes. Will my conditions improve just by weight loss? Or do I need to focus on WHAT I eat too?
