Women’s hormones at this stage are tanking and you often need to restrict carbs to see a change. This is particularly true if the weight is accumulating around your waist (the spare tire).  Try tracking your carbs for a month, staying under 20 net carbs a day, and I can almost guarantee you will lose weight. [/quote]

"Net carbs" isn't a thing. I mean, it's a MARKETING thing but i[b]t's not a nutritional thing[/b]. So ignore this nonsense. Also, 20 a DAY is ridiculous. If you do under 40 a meal, you'll be fine.  Most people consume hundreds of carbs a day without realizing it -- and don't eat enough fiber (which does make carbs easier to digest, but again, "net carb" is not a thing).

Best thing to do is write it all down in an app. Every meal. It will make you more mindful. [/quote]

It is a real nutritional thing because of how fiber is counted on food labels, what are you blathering about [/quote]

LOL. Sweetie. No, it's not. And, it's not counted that way on food labels. It might be a bold type claim on the front of the packaging (see "marketing thing") but it's not an actual nutritional concept.  But please, by all means, find where the FDA acknowledges "net carbs" as a thing on food labels. I'll wait.[/quote]

Here you go:

https://www.fda.gov/food/food-labeling-nutrition/questions-and-answers-dietary-fiber#synthetic_fibers

FDA requires labels to count nondigestible fiber as "carbohydrates" even though it is, in fact, not digestible. A "carbohydrate" that your body does not digest is, of course, substantively different than a carbohydrate that your body does digest:

https://www.fda.gov/food/food-labeling-nutrition/questions-and-answers-dietary-fiber#beneficial_physiological_effects

So yes, it is a "nutritional thing" to consider the two separately, and the only way to know how much carbohydrate in a packaged food is a digestible carbohydrate and how much is not, is to consider the "net" carbohydrate, or the amount that is digestible. [/quote]

NP here- enough with the suggestion to not eat carb in order to lose weight. half the world lives off of carbs and are not overweight. carbs DO NOT make you fat. Too many calories make you fat. [/quote]
It’s ok that we disagree!  But as a female who spent many years doing the moderation, eat mostly plants, avoid pizza/dressing suggestions this is the ONLY thing that helped me. I read Women, Food and Hormones and found it very helpful. It doesn’t work well for everyone across the world, but they aren’t in the same situation or life stage as me. [/quote]
