To put it briefly... The number of variables in your question makes it hard to get many clear, all-encompassing answers, yet the overall takeaway appears to be this: look at lifestyle adjustments around diet and exercise first, or at minimum at the same time; figure out which benefit matters most to you and zero in on the pep(s) that serve that aim; stay patient and introduce additional peps slowly, one at a time, so you can gauge both the good and bad effects. Based on one of your earlier posts, you have already researched quite a bit, so in a way you have answered your own questions—though I understand you are after confirmation through other people's experiences. In any case, best of luck, and I hope you come back here to update us on how things turn out.
