ADT. Afraid of it

I have been on ADT or 2+ years. White it is true ADT can make you gain weight. You still can control your weight by eating a plant based diet with more vegetables, fruit, and protein. I gained weight after becoming too relaxed with eating things I should not be eating. Once I jumped back on my plant based diet I dropped 5 lbs. and I am continuing to drop the weight. You also need to exercise and lift weights. Not heavy weights but enough to maintain what muscle you have left. There are days I feel down, but most of the time I do not even feel anything. I work between 10-12 hours per day as a software developer Subject Matter Expert (SME). It is the men who refuse treatment that end up with the worst results down the road. Praying for you.

I'm vegetarian, so obviously I like the "plant-based" part, but moderate portions of lean meat would probably also work well for those who eat it (and might help with the low iron ADT can sometimes cause).
