0:08.9	For weight loss, there is the train of thought of being a calorie deficit.
0:12.3	True. But if you have underlying issues that you're not aware of, if you do have hormonal issues, calorie deficit is the worst thing for you and the worst thing for weight loss. You have to take care of your wellness first. Make sure you are well. Make sure you have the ability
