[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP above...just a ant to clarify the point a little the original menopausal mice.  The researchers concluded that menopause causes overeating which causes obesity.  But the truth is the OPPOSITE!  The mice overate because they needed more food!  They needed more food because their bodies were taking calories and storing them rather than letting them burn.

Menopausal women don't overeat because they are gluttons all of a sudden.  If they get fat and overeat, they overeat because they have less energy and need more food!  It's a vicious cycle, though, because if they overeat a Hugh carb diet, they are storing more and more fat and raising insulin higher and higher, storing more fat, and on and on.

Fat causes the urge to overeat.  Overeating carbs raises insulin and causes even more calories to be fmdivertes to fat, which causes more hunger.

i actually cried when I read this chapter.  Then got mad.  Then got 50 pounds slimmer, seriously.  With not a lot of effort compared to all the calorie restriction and exercise and self-recrimination I had previously tried and failed.[/quote]

NP. Finally somebody who put it as it is, and thank you for explaining it so I can truly understand. I never needed carbs, didn't like them before 40. Then I was so tired(I did have undiagnosed Lyme, but that just added to the problem). All of a sudden around 40 I want carbs, I want bread, I want that rice! It is like all I ate my whole life, veggies and meat, turned upside down and I became my own Jekyll! How did you lose weight, by eating more protein? I also make muscle like nobody's business, my kids too, I can walk one mile and muscle is there. Please give us more info! Thank you!![/quote]
