I'm 5'4" and my whole life I was slim. In my 20s I would be on average 99 lbs or so. When I got pregnant in my mid 30s, I was 112 lbs. In my early 40s I would be about 105 lbs or so. Now, at the age of 49, I'm 120 lbs. Just about 1-2 years ago, I was 110 lbs on average. I'm literally eating twice healthier, less food overall, no alcohol, and my weight won't drop a bit. This is what I ate today throughout the whole day:
Breakfast- 1 cup of unsweetened tea with 1 tsp of vital protein powder in it. half of ciabatta bread ( from Costco) with a little bit of butter on it, slice of ham and caviar Lunch: 1 grapefruit + 1/4 cup of craisins Dinner: 1 home made gello big plate -green salad with red bellpeppers, pieces of ham, feta cheese, olive oil, pumpkins seeds 1 cup of red lentil soup ( home made) 2 tbs of mac and cheese Dessert: 1 piece of caramel candy+ 1 tiny piece of milk chocolate kitkat I drank water with freshly squeezed lemon juice throughout the day. I checked my weight and compared to yesterday, I almost put 2 lbs weight. When I was in my 20s, 30s, I could eat whatever I wanted and would never put on weight. I try to walk/run about 3 times a week. I don't go to the gym. I don't really do any intermittent fasting, but maybe should have. |

| Checking your weight every day is counterproductive. I've found that I have to eat less to maintain my weight in my 50s----like skipping lunch or breakfast entirely. Consider adding resistance training to your exercise routine. |

| The problem is that you started underweight. It's problematic to go into your later years stick-thin as you increase your risk of bone loss and the ability to fight infection. Throw away the scale and live your best life. (At the very least, only weigh yourself every two weeks, never daily.) |

| According to ancient myth, Gello was a young woman who died a virgin, and returned as a ghost (φάντασμα, phantasma) to do harm to the children of others. The myth is given as an explanation of a proverb by the second-century compiler Zenobius. |

| Visit a dietician. I lost 16 lbs in 5 weeks on the plan mine put me on. Diet and change and flooded my system with vitamins. It was 1K well spent. |
