[quote=Anonymous]OP, I found tightening up on days I did not plan to indulge made a difference, the midlife shift in hormones warrants a new approach. I eat 2 full protein heavy meals on days I don't fast, no snacking or sipping milky coffee all day. Completely spacing eating allows insulin time to fall and stay low.

On days I do indulge, eating & having wine EARLIER, then going for a walk helps. I used to graze and eat quite late and in midlife it just became untenable. If you can get a CGM to wear, even for 2 weeks, it's great data.

Consider swapping some of your weekend treats for a lower carb/sugar version r/ketodrunk, think strawberries and whipped cream, a few bites of something decadent rather than a full portion, berries and a square of very dark chocolate, etc. Maybe indulge once on weekend rather than all weekend?

When estrogen drops it is harder to manage weight and health risks change. I'd increase fasting and weight training to get weight down and then make sustainable swaps going forward. New stage of life = new strategies needed. The risks for heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's are real and are all linked to metabolic health. [/quote]
