I don't believe in the low/no carbs either. Yeah, you lose weight but just as soon as you eat some carbs, it is back. Great food choices. I'm doing 1500 to 1800 a day. The weight should really be falling off. Where is Dan for his opinion? He must be at the gym!
I'm blaming it on the age and being a woman.

Not if you stick to the low carb diet for a while. If you only do it for a week yes you will put the weight back on, but do it a couple months and the results are amazing

Good work, Brewster! Now how did you have to know all that?
Really the # on the scale is not that important to me. Since PartyGirl started all this and I've been trying not to indulge in junk food and exercising harder, I do feel my body has taken a slight turn for the better.
Hopefully, you are feeling the same, PartyGirl?

Hormones are also a major factor. Getting your levels tested will probably save a lot of frustration. Low estrogen makes you hungry and crave particular foods, usually carbs and fat. Low testoterone makes it difficult to build and maintain muscle and contributes to low energy. You should also be tested for thyroid disease.

Well well, this could explain alot for me...approx 15 years ago I had a total hysterectomy, I had tried HRT, but my mother developed Breast Cancer "she is a survivor" anyways I decided to stop therapy, so after reading this it makes alot of sense as to why I crave certain foods, and have the low energy.. my body is no longer producing either estrogen or testosterone. Though I will not use this as an excuse, I now know that I need to push myself more and watch what I'm eating.. and realize why I crave certain foods etc.
thanks for the info Brewster... to bad my doctor didn't inform me of this.

My doctor and I have had a few chats (the last couple years).. but with the breast cancer history in my family, she hasn't suggested that i try again. as for what you and I went through (I can totally sympathize).. sleeping pills are my addiction, they give me 6hrs of undisturbed sleep. However what I have noticed, is if I don't go to bed right away.. I get the munchies and usually cave... so the snacks just before bed I would imagine are not helping with my weight.
But you do having me thinking about making a doctors appointment and seeing if there is somthing new out there... I've gotten so use to feeling this way, I wonder ...
