WHen a family member gave me her SBD book I read it eagerly BUT found it too liberal in the carbs for what my body could handle effectively. I had already tried Atkins and found with DANDR at my side, the weight was shedding off for the first time in my life. I didnt find SBD working for me, so jumped back to DANDR.

May I suggest looking at Atkins???? Since you have made major changes to meet the SBD requirements, DANDR is only one more step.....it might be the level of carbs that a post menopausal body needs.

Good luck--- this is a journey.....
