Exactly. I have tried -walking 10k steps at a speed of about 5 Kph every day for WEEKS! - eating three low-salt small meals (with fresh veggies, all home cooked ) - fruit for snacks - drinking lots of water - no large intestine at all (from surgery years ago, so ‘speedy’ metabolism) and I’m putting ON weight . Don’t give me bs about ‘just do this’ because losing weight in menopause is stupidly hard. And no, I was not gaining muscle.
