Hi Monica. I struggled with the low calorie requirements out of the gate too. So I changed them. I workout 5 - 6 days a week and 1200 cals a day was too low. Now I'm just getting started, so we'll see what kind of affect it has on weight loss, but so far so good. Also, I've included some links I've found out here that have…

Thanks for posting the article Karen! I really DO believe there is a direct link to what we eat, our hormone balance and how we feel. I've just started to put some of the tactics in place from that book I'm reading and just in a couple days I feel a bit better... and the bigger pay off...the scale FINALLY started moving…

Great tip!! Thanks for sharing!!

Welcome! Feel free to add me. I'm active most days. Just getting started... yet again. :laugh: Lisa

Sabine... The entire premise of that book I'm reading is basically the philosophy that Menopause does lead to forms of inulin resistance. And truly, THAT's what I feel..in my gut...is what's happening to me. I spent many a year on low fat diets in the past to lose weight. And they worked in my youth...but not the case…

Hello! My name is Lisa. I'm 45 years old and I have been battling peri-m symptoms for about five years. This last year has been the worst for my weight. I have gained 10 - 15lbs in the last year and it seems like every time I step on the scale it's higher. Grrrrr. I am a very active individual; and I always have been. I'm…
