I eat about 2000 calories a day, about 2800 on Sundays as a cheat, and eat 3 meals between 2pm and 6pm. I play basketball 4 days a week and I'm currently trending down about 1.5lbs per week.

I'm pretty hesitant on that due to cost and dependency long term.

Why not discuss this with a DR? As I see it... being overweight is so much worse for you than the side effects of
