    I've been doing the 5:2 eating plan and have noticed a marked reduction in belly fat.

    Been there done that. I went on the Dukan Diet 12/31/11 and lost 46 pounds in 2012. (But I cheated I used another website before switching to MFP and log every calorie). I am 54 years old, 5'8' and weigh 128 pounds. I no longer eat bread, pasta, potoatos or rice... I spent most of adult live weighing over 140 pounds, shot up in 2011 and decided I wasn't going to let menopause turn me into a soggy lump. I do yoga, walk, walk,walk,walk and Barre 3. I wear a Nike Fuel band to count up all my calories burned and my MFP Food calorie goal is set to a basic sedentary life style because I have a desk job. My post menapause ab fat is gone. I do not crave all the foods that I overate anymore.

    So I found the book "The Menopause Makeover"... it doesn't matter if you are pre peri or post, this book as a game/life changing read for me. It is available on amazon kindle... I can't even tell you how many women have thanked me for the book referral.

    I found another book women of all ages should read - Ballet Beautiful.

    I also make sure I never set longer than 50 minutes at my job and home now. An exception is church or a funeral or wedding.

    ^^^^thanks. i am trying to modify my eating...i think thats going to be the hardest thing. i am working out a lot more and getting back to being very active and burning calories. just need to eat less...and thats hard. thanks for your insight.

    I just wanted to add, I eat more Volume wise, but different things. I eat an apple instead of bread, a small amount of nuts instead of a bag of chips, fat free frozen greek yogurt instead of ice cream. And I never drink less than 64 ounces of water a day, and I never drink any carbonated drinks - but I do have tea and coffee in addtion to my water.
