[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s insulin insensitivity. You need to up your protein and cut out all sugar and cheap carbs. [b]If you consume protein and veggies in reasonable portions, and no snacking between meals[/b], your insulin levels won’t be constantly spiked, and you’ll lose the weight.

I followed my menopause doctor’s advice and it worked. After 3 months, I weigh what I did in my 20s and I have 2-3 cheat days a week where I eat what I want and have wine etc. It’s like magic but my dr assures me it’s basic biology. [/quote]

Hmm, deprive myself and constantly feel miserable, or gain a few lbs and feel miserable.  The choices SUCK, but I choose fat and happy, because I am going to enjoy life, and that includes food. And 10-15 pounds does not really make anyone "fat"[/quote]

It is wild to me that concentrating on protein and veggies and not snacking seems "miserable." Maybe I am out of touch, but do most adults snack? Eating three meals a day with a focus on protein and veggies sounds fairly normal to me?[/quote]

NP and +1

I’d rather eat a juicy medium-rare ribeye, perfectly grilled chicken thigh, or a crisp-skinned filet of salmon, than any type of cardboard-resembling “snack.” Bonus points for the fact that all of the above fills me up and doesn’t leave me wanting to snack an hour later. [/quote]
