I’m in peri and progesterone made me gain a TON of weight I’m still desparately trying to get off and I eat like one salad and a smoothie a day and keto/low-carb. Always have been low carb. I went up 2 pant sizes. My doc says that HRT often causes weight gain but usually more likely with progesterone than estrogen. I have read many women saying they took progesterone and had similar weight gain. So be careful. I’m prob eating less than 1500 calories per that other person and still gained a ton of weight in like 2 weeks from just taking 50mg natural progesterone a day.
