Transforming your body and becoming healthier can be achieved through two main steps:

• Proper nutrition: Eating a healthy and balanced diet is essential for transforming your body and becoming healthier. A healthy diet should include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods, high-calorie snacks, and sugary drinks. Make sure you are eating enough calories to support your body's needs and avoid extreme calorie restriction, which can lead to nutrient deficiencies and a slow metabolism.
  

• Regular exercise: Exercise is also essential for transforming your body and improving your health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each day, such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming. Incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle and improve your metabolism. If you are new to exercise, start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts over time
  

Have you consider medical involvement or surgeries as well?

I actually did yes, thanks for the suggestion. Gastric band surgery, also known as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, is a weight-loss surgery that involves placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. The benefits of Gastric Band Surgery include:

• Significant weight loss: Gastric band surgery can help patients achieve significant weight loss by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold. The band can be adjusted to control the rate of weight loss, and patients can typically expect to lose between 40% and 60% of their excess weight within the first two years after surgery.
  

• Improved health: Losing weight can improve or even resolve many obesity-related health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain. Patients who undergo gastric band surgery may experience significant improvements in their overall health and quality of life.
