[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you? I'm definitely finding in my 40s that weight is really stubborn about coming off. I have many older colleagues (past menopause) who confirm that the 40s decade leading up and through menopause is really tough to avoid putting on weight and really hard to get it off. THey all say that post-menopause it becomes easier again. [/quote] In your 40’s (and sometimes earlier) the estrogen produced in your ovaries starts to drop naturally. However, your brain still wants the estrogen. Estrogen is also produced in fat cells so your body starts putting on the fat to produce more estrogen. Either you can dramatically lower your calorie intake or you can supplement with a little estrogen. If you are still on birth control pills that should more than suffice. You could also try natural products and foods that are high in estrogen (though ‘Estroven’ made me vomit so didn’t work out for me, it might work out for others). [/quote]
