[quote=Anonymous]I guess I will be the outlier here. 52 yr old female, almost done w/ menopause. I deeply believe all diets will fail, in that they don't result in sustained weight loss. Research bears this out. https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/82/1/222S/4863393 I've lost about 30 lbs and kept it off for 4+ years by **not dieting** (Nothing is off limits, I don't fast, I don't count calories, no tracking anything on my phone, no WW, no meal replacements, etc). I just exercise, regularly, quite a bit. Not gentle exercise, either: running, swimming freestyle laps, distance cycling, studio classes, plus yoga just for balance. I'm also I realize not everyone can do this due to serious injuries, but truthfully, most middle-aged women can indeed do hard cardio if the will is there. Bonus: better sleep and mood. Hard cardio exercise has been demonstrated to be as good as SSRI for mild to moderate depression. [/quote]
