The Hormone Diet
 

I've been struggling with this crazy plateau for well over a year now. I've tried things that have worked for me before, I've tried new things, I've tried things I said I'd never try, LOL!

But being in perimenopause & having so many wildly unnameable cravings, I thought maybe my hormones might just be really outta whack. Soooo..... I got wind of this book "THE HORMONE DIET" (Rodale Books) and decided to take the "are your hormones outta whack?" test... and guess what? THEY REALLY ARE. :dizzy: It claims that the weight that JUST.WILL.NOT.BUDGE! -no matter how much you exercise/diet... can be due to our hormones being crazy off-balance, and that by balancing your hormones, you will lose weight, sleep better, have better sex life (hey, that never hurts, LOL!) etc.

And so....I got the book & started reading it yesterday. I'm on chapter 5 now - just wondering if anyone else has heard of it, tried it, or willing to try it? So far, it's making a lot of physically scientific sense, and I see myself in a lot of the definitions. Ack.

Hi, yes, I used to be able to shed weight so easily, now its a real struggle. I have some hormonal issues and have learnt that estrogen has a LOT to do with difficulty in shedding fat - at any age but especially in your 40... I'm currently reading "The Anti-Estrogenic Diet" by Ori Hofmekler and a lot of what he says makes sense.

Keep up the fight,
