Re: Menopause and dieting
Let me count the ways....LOL
I get wicked PMS type cravings and an increased appetite around the dates my TOM used to be/is at times. Worse thanever. I also find I want different things than i would have before. And I need to exercise more than ever to maintain or lose. Getting older stinks.JILL

It's not about the results. Its about the process.

Re: Menopause and dieting
I am peri at this point. I cannot say I have noticed any preference changes or craving changes. I'll keep my eyes open though. As for harder to lose - easier to put on weight - yup that one I have experienced for sure.Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"

Re: Menopause and dieting
Well, I spent three days (so far!) with an insatiable appetite and my very first hot flash -a weird experience in 20 degree weather!! I can live with the hot flashes, but i don't want to sabotage my weight loss! What do I have to do to burn an extra 500 calories a day? Do hot flashes, which obviously heat you up, comsume any extra energy as your body tries to regulate its temperature?
Ackkkkk!Comment
