HELP Gaining weight 😥

(Charms) #21

No …no meds, although this last week I’m on ibuprofen (not sugar coated) for intense hip pain. I am taking the odd supplement like curcumin, fish oil, vit K2 and D, DIM and glucosamine. (All for joint pain for hormones)
I think it must be hormonal, causing a shift in my carb tolerance plus over doing the nuts.
Thanks :blush:

I hear you!!! So frustrating :confounded:. Back to the drawing board of counting carbs and being more disciplined!!! Thank you :blush:
Cheers

No solutions but menopause is whipping my butt! Good luck. I had some weight gain which has been reversed for the time being by increasing low carb vegetable intake. My body responses are changing so much, I wish menopause was discussed more, I’ve been taken unawares :frowning:

Something else to consider - worrying about it causes STRESS that can increase the problems even more (like a snowball rolling downhill getting bigger as it goes). Also if the stress level is higher you might not be sleeping as good as you were before which is another potential contributing factor. I went through this a while back and the only way I could overcome it was to do as suggested earlier and go back to basics as if you are just starting keto. That helped me get back on track. Just a suggestion. :thinking::slightly_smiling_face:

intense hip pain? Might be good to get a diagnosis from a doctor too - maybe even a specialist.

Just watched an interesting LCDU video on the subject of the fatty acid composition of the diet. It might be well to look at the sources of your fats, as well as everything else.
