[quote=Anonymous]I'm fitter and thinner than I was pre-menopause, but I have more weight around my middle. I'm done worrying about it. I eat very, very well. I've cut out all sugar (except for special occasions), which is the biggest change. I went to an integrative med doc who tested me for food intolerances and found I couldn't eat wheat, milk or yeast, so I've cut all those out of my diet. I really do feel better, and my eczema, which has plagued me for almost 10 years, has practically disappeared. And I've lost weight, not a lot, but enough that I don't feel self-conscious about my big fat belly! I eat lots of smoothies, lots of fresh and frozen organic veggies, lean protein, grass-fed and organic, mostly, not a lot of carbs, nuts, seeds and cheese.

I made these dietary changes a year ago, and it took at least six months before I began to see real changes, so you have to be patient. It was very, very hard to get off of sugar. I'm sure I went into withdrawal, headaches, felt like crap all the time, but I feel much better now, and can tolerate a piece of cake or some sweets every once in a while with no ill effects.
