Ah, menopause. I swear, if it weren't for shoe shopping, I'd rather be a man.

Last summer I gained 20 pounds (probably 25 now) in a couple months with no change in diet or exercise. Well, maybe I was even MORE strict.

Nothing has taken it off. I'm on a ton of supplements, including DHEA and progesterone. Details in my journal. These were prescribed by the Women-to-Women Center here in Maine (nationally renowned center for women's health).

The Nurse Practioner there wants me to follow Schwarzbein and eat 90 carbs a day! After years of 20 grams, that's just way too much and I'll put on ANOTHER 20 pounds before leveling out.

So what's a girl to do?

Has anyone been through the weight gain at menopause and got it off again? How? Do supplements help? More exercise? Different exercise? More carbs? Fewer carbs? More fat? Less fat?
