Gosh! It has never weighed on me like that…… although-I think I have a high metabolism.
I'm trying to lose some extra weigh and I'm strongly looking into fasting. My issue is can I take my meds during the fast or should I avoid fasting all together? Is there any benefits to fasting if you are HIV positive?
