Hello everyone
I looked into weight gain during menopause,as that is what the chemo has done thrown us into early menopause, and the tomoxifin is keeping us there. We need resistance exercises so weights, as well as cardio. The resistance exercises keeps your muscles strong and increases metabolism, additional benefit bone strength. Lack of oestrogen causes muscles to slowly decline if not using them, hence we really need to do weights and or resistance work. I have been keeping my weight stable with 2 to 3 times a week weight classes at the gym such as pump or kettleworks as well as a couple of cardio sessions, and good eating as I have noticed that I will gain weight by just looking at a mars bar!
Hope this helps?
The 2 to 5 diet good too
