I do have to disagree with her on the "oh, high cholesterol? I'll just take meds!" High cholesterol runs in my family, so when I got the inevitable "you have a stick of butter in your veins" result, I went hard at it with diet -oatmeal with blueberries every morning, an apple and a handful of almonds every day for a snack, try to keep things a mix of high protein and high fiber otherwise. Brought those numbers down. But weight? It feels like a losing battle.
It sounds awful and demoralizing. Seriously. For men TRT is getting traction - is there a similar course of treatment for women? I have only heard horror stories of women starving themselves to hope to maintain fitness.
My response above was more geared towards the author who has not gone through menopause and espouses a position that basically says give up and give up super hard.
