@sineadod_dietitian: Your husband cuts back for two weeks. Weight drops. You do everything ‘right’. Nothing moves. This is one of the most common things I hear. And it is not in your head. Most diet research was done on men, then applied to women as if we’re just smaller versions of them. We’re not. Women have a hormonal cycle that changes everything- hunger, fat storage, how we respond to restriction. Add perimenopause and what worked at 35 genuinely may not work at 45. This is not failure. This is physiology. The reason diets haven’t worked for you has nothing to do with how hard you’ve been trying. Comment ‘SCIENCE’ and I’ll send you what actually works for a woman’s body. 💜
