    Just increasing exercise is the safest, cheapest, and arguably best way to "improve metabolism."

    From a marketing perspective, this is an excellent pitch:

    Looks like he's just trying to sell something, nothing more. The "Science" tab talks about "findings" with no links to sources.

    I don't like the "exercise like a man" and "exercising like a man hurts you" part.

    How do men exercise? Men can do any exercise from weights to dance. Is this one of those "you're a lady, here's the pink dumbbells" plans? I've seen men lift light too, so is that still exercising like a man?

    Pass.

    Yeah, that made me eye-roll, too. I think that might have been the part where they had little numbers next to the statement as if there were footnotes (since they were referring to research studies) . . . but there didn't seem to be any footnots. LOL!

    It does just seem like one more site selling a "magic" solution.

    It’s really true. I am not overweight, just always find it hard to keep those last few stubborn lbs off! If I stray from a work out and eating plan for even a short time, those 5 lbs come back on. There really is no magic pill is there? It’s just consistent, smart eating. I also have challenging menopause symptoms. It finally seems like my hot flashes that I’ve endured to 2 yrs are going away. I, too, often feel frustrated and overwhelmed.

    Menopause is kicking me in the *kitten*. I am 54 and did not have peri menopausal symptoms until the last 18 months. Now my eye sight is bad, my hair is gray, I have gained 20 #, I am always frustrated and when I try moderate exercise and diet, I cannot stick with it. Thus, my search for a plan that I can stick with which will help me lose weight.
    Thank you all for the replies. In the past, I have never signed up for gimmicky plans. I think my frustration has peaked.
    Your replies were great at setting me straight. There is no magic pill except perseverance and time.

    If you haven't checked out any of these threads, maybe they'll give you some additional guidance, I learned a lot from them:

    I feel your pain! I know people say menopause in and of itself doesn't/shouldn't cause weight gain, but I did gain weight going through menopause because I fell out of my good habits and routines. I have felt like crap for close to two years, the hot flashes were so bad at one point they pretty much crushed my spirit, I don't sleep well because of night sweats and when I don't sleep well my energy plummets, when my energy is low I struggle with exercise - it's like a big old chain reaction. On top of that I hurt my shoulder and knee and that affected my workouts too. That said, I got tired of feeling horrible so I went back to my old routine of regular workouts and logging food, because doing those things made me feel good. Sometimes I have to really push myself to exercise, and I wish I could do more of the resistance type workouts, but going back to the basics has put my weight loss back into motion. It's a little slower than before, but it's working. You can see from this thread that you are not alone, and you can absolutely reach your goals!!
