Spoke with a scientist yesterday who suggested after menopause losing weight is very hard, which was not news to me. He suggested latest view (and in the news currently) is a 16/8 fast. Fast for 16 hours and eat for eight. I've tried hard to lose 3kg I put on during a cruise, not eating a huge lot more than usual, but still packed on the weight due to lack of choices of snacks between meals.
So this morning I'm 58.2kg (most obvious on my tummy which I really hate and makes me look pregnant) and I want to get back to around 56kg where I'm comfortable. Today I ate breakfast at midday and I'm going to see how this goes. If I eat earlier, say 10am, I need to stop eating by 6pm so I think this can work for me. Worth a try anyway.
I've tried the 5/2 diet before and it didn't work for me and I then found forums saying for post-menopausal women this didn't work like it does for most others. So I'll see how this 16/8 works.
