[quote=Anonymous]I’m 48 and noticed pounds creeping up around age 40 and again last year (although that might be more related to Covid baking projects rather than hormonal changes).

I agree with the PP who said it’s ok to be hungry.   Of course stay hydrated and don’t restrict too much but to loose weight you need to be in a caloric deficit.  This will undoubtedly make you hungry.  Use a calorie tracker to figure out which foods make you feel more full than others and eat more of those.  Walk as much as possible and amp up the exercise if possible.  People stress high protein, low carb and no dairy.   But, for me 2 slices of whole wheat bread with peanut butter and a cheese stick are very filling.  Adding a vegetable heavy soup or salad gets in the veggies.

You certainly don’t need to be overly restrictive forever but restrict w/ amping up calorie burning exercise to loose those 10 lbs and hopefully you learn along the way what makes you most satisfied so you can maintain.

For me, I can eat very lightly most of the day until dinner but dislike going to bed hungry so I also snack after dinner.  Many people will say that is terrible advice and better to eat earlier but for me loading the bulk of my calories between 5-10pm is what works.

Experiment a bit and figure out what works best for you.
