Hello ladies
My diet is a little naughty. I just love chocolate. I have always been petite and been able to eat anything without gaining weight.
Seems it has caught up with me and I have the middle age spread.
Keen to know if any of you ladies changed your diet and if it helped your symptoms. My main issues are anxiety and the dreaded off balance feeling.
Thank you
Hi again Louise! However, as you know from our last chat...I get migraines awful. Soooo, I have cut my sugar down and really be more careful about processed foods, etc. I hardly drink caffeine. I do not drink alcohol. MSG is a no no. I like salads, but I am never full if I eat them... I am tiny too and need to eat! It is hard for me to grasp that some people go around in this world abusing their bodies eating deep fried whatever and drink it down with 4 beers...and feel better than me right now! Of course in the long run, we are what we eat 😉I love my chocolate too...just in moderation! I keep a bag of mint patties by my bed...they would have to pry them out if my cold dead hands! 😂
I have the same problem with weight I watch my diet and exercise more it seems to help. I am also just started to get problems with the balance feeling, I sometimes feel the floor is moving.
Yes I'm super sensative to everything now. Always eaten clean with cheats once or twice a week with cake, chocolate etc but now I find anything with too many carbs especially sugar makes me feel terrible. I get really tired and moody. Sometimes almost depressed or feel angry and anxious. Also if I eat it of an evening I don't sleep well and get hot in bed. This has got progressively worse the further into peri I get so I've almost given up chocolate completely and keep my cheat to once a week being very careful what I have. Also gave up alcahol completely almost 2 years ago as even one drink just made me feel awful mentally.
I'm on bhrt which has helped a lot but the diet stuff is still super important.
