    I am not sure this is totally relevant but I found these posts concerning women, low carb eating, and hormones. If you have the time (because I am sure you have a LOT on your plate) do you mind to give an opinion? * I know they are not actual studies :smile: *

    I only read the second one first. I used to read some of her stuff and enjoyed it. She knew her stuff back when I read her... which was years ago. This was a hard piece for me to get through. Seems like she's more interested in entertaining than she is educating. Granted, that might work for some people, so who am I to judge.

    But what's important for you is that I can definitely agree with the one meaningful statement she made in this article:

    "Go and get your sex hormones tested. While you’re at it, test thyroid and adrenal function too."

    If you're feeling off of you're not losing weight (and not lying to yourself about eating correctly when you're f-ing now which is something many folks are akin to doing)... then this is very solid advice.
