[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The menopausal women I know who are very slim eat like birds. I mean very few calories per day. [/quote] The ones I know who eat like birds don't seem very healthy. They are too thin, and when they get sick, they become skeletal. You have to have some muscle at least. Maintain a healthy weight, even if it's a little higher than it was when you were in college. I weighed 135 when I got married 35 years ago, and now I weigh 158 pounds. I was a size 6, and now I'm a size 12-14. I feel like I'm at a healthy weight. I'm not heavy, not thin either. Just right, IMHO, for someone my age. I eat a very healthy diet and I exercise, lift weights, walk, swim, ride bikes, but I don't go crazy with exercise either. No alcohol and very little sugar. But I do not have the body I had 10 years ago. It's different, and I'm OK with it. I think I look just fine. [/quote]
