Mine really helped. I’d encourage you to seek second opinion. Focus on eating protein to keep you full during the day. Lean proteins. It will help you crave less junk. I get how hard it is to lose weight. I’ve lost 70lbs and need to keep working at it. Protein shakes help me supplement and eating 4-5 mini meals a day not 3 big ones. My gi encourages me to eat several small meals a day bc it’s easier on the body
