  • Sounds like a hot flash. Yes, they can occur in men! And can occur in anyone of any age. When not associated with menopause, hot flashes are often linked to serotonin dumps. If it happens again, I would suggest that you see an endocrinologist. It may just be happening as a rsult of rapid weight loss messing with hormone…

  • I am 55. When I decided I needed to lose weight in March, I eliminated wheat from my diet because I found abstinence so much easier than moderation. That did enable me to lose the weight I wanted to, but the really HUGE benefit has been that hot flashes completely disappeared within a couple of days. If I eat even a slice…

  • For smaller quanities in the crock pot, use one cup Ball jars (no lids!) - put the jars in the crock pot, pour water around the jars so the water level is about half to 3/4 of the way up the sides of the jars. I use 1/4 c of steel cut oats, 3/8 c milk, 3/8 c water in each of two jars. In the third I put a cut up Granny…

  • I am 55. Here's the thing I discovered: dumpy older women are invisible.

The first step in that is…

  • Might just be the weather. My body hangs on to fluid like crazy when it is hot and humid. Just one day of a little cooler and a little drier air, and I lose it all at once.

  • Glad to hear you are on the mend! I stopped eating wheat when I started to gain weight simply because avoidance is easier for me than moderation and I LOVE bread and crackers. Within just a few days, the hot flashes that I had been experiencing for the previous 6 months stopped altogether. Totally unexpected, fabulous…
