I am on beta blockers as well. I did not know they hinder weight loss. My best tip for weight loss is set a small goal first, like 5 or 10 pounds loss, and keep trying until you reach it. Even small losses will help with blood glucose control and can help motivate you for bigger changes later. Eat a diet of healthy food s that you like in moderation. If you are going low carb start by lowering the amount of carbs you currently eat-low carb doesn't have to mean no carb. Many have found that eating 50-100 carbs per day was a level they could maintain and manage their blood glucose levels on.
