The Surprising Truth About Menopause and Weight Gain That Doctors Aren’t Telling You
Old tactics may stop working after menopause
The “Rocky” weight loss method was my go-to when I was younger.
Whenever I wanted to drop a few pounds, I imagined I was a character in one of those “couch potato gets super fit” movies.
In addition to walking and running, I embraced the sweat-til-you-vomit workout du jour. (Remember Tae Bo?) I also cut out foods, food groups, or entire macronutrients. A couple of times a week, I skipped lunch or dinner.
It worked.
Until, of course, it didn’t.
Now, whenever I push too hard in the gym, I either get injured or feel so unbelievably tired that I must take four days off from all forms of movement. If I try to do anything extreme with my diet, I eventually eat every crunchy or sweet thing I can find, including stale crackers.
