I am 57 years old and have been overweight my entire life. I have tried everything and now being over 50 is so much harder, as well as all the conflicting information at our fingertips. I always seem to get started but them give up on myself. I am going to try your tips and read through all your posts. Thank you for posting these!

Thank you! I really enjoyed reading this article and I hope to start again the right way after many tries and set backs. I will be 50 next years and I’m already feeling the menopausal symptoms. Sometimes you just feel like giving up, but reading this I know there’s hope. Thanks.

I am 55 and have been menopausal since I was 42. Prior to that I was always thin. I have been 20ish pounds over weight for years until recently, now I’ve been about 30 pounds over weight. I’m depressed, feel ugly, frumpy, and totally zapped of energy. I hate how I feel and can’t seem to snap out of it. My diet is pretty healthy. My biggest vice is bread-carbs. Pasta, rice, etc. I want to lose at least 25 lbs. I am 5’2” and probably 160. Read most of your article. Not sure where to start. Thanks so much!

In reply to Connie iveson. Everyone is different and foods can affect us different ways. There is definitely room in your diet for yogurt and fruit. Be sure and read my new post How to Stop Compulsive Eating. Sugary foods can be eaten but they can also cause problems.

In reply to Susan. Hi Sara, been reading your advice & comments with anticipation. I have been struggling with my weight for while now, weight has piled on during lockdown but I do realise it's my bad eating habits, but I do like fruit & fat free yoghurt & always thought this was healthy eating???? I have tried fasting before & it worked for me but I will struggle with meals & variety, I do eat far to many sugary foods, biscuits, cake etc, I'm heading towards 65 in May so will I be able to achieve this

In reply to Sandy. I don't provide medical advice here. I share information that I've read and that I've tried myself. As far as keto goes, I don't follow that way of eating and so can't really say whether it is the problem or not. Healthy fats in moderation are not usually a problem for most people and don't cause inflammation. Processed foods and sugar are more harmful and do affect your insulin. I sympathize since you are getting conflicting advice from your doctors!
