HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Weight increases either due to an increase in caloric intake from food or drink or a decrease in energy output from exercise or activity.
To decrease weight and to prevent diseases such as diabetes,high blood pressure and high cholesterol a person would either have to decrease their intake or increase their output of energy.
In the case of the energy output, since it is not possible due to time constraints, to find 30 to 45 mins together to exercise, you may want to consider dividing it. This means if you can find 10 mins out of 3 to 4 hrs to get and go to a brief walk around the office or outside, it would be helpful.
In terms of your caloric input, you would need to alter your diet so that the amount of energy you put into your body decreases. This can be done by decreasing your use or eliminating your use of fast food and sodas. These meals are very high in calories.
If you replace the sodas with water this would save at least 200 calories a drink.
If you replace the fast food meals with a meal of salad or vegetables combined with a healthy meat and small amount of carbohydrates, then you would begin to lose weight.
Make your snacks in between the meals fruits or vegetables.
Even if you took a product such as amway , you would still need to change your diet.
I hope this helps

As your life style is prone to get weight and diabetes, only way that can help you to prevent obesity and diabetes is regular exercise, physical activities, balanced diet, avoiding fast foot, stop smoking and alcohol. Eating fast food and having little physical activities can lead to serious consequences, obesity and diabetes are common.
Prevention is better than cure. Health comes first above all.
