I have been on progesterone for two months and 3 other blocker/estrogens for 7 months. I've been eating healthy and limiting my diet mostly to chicken salads with lowfat dressing and low sodium soup while running several miles 3x a week. I have gained next to nothing. It hurts behind my nips like is has for 6 months. I can't stand it this! I'm about to lose it and just pack on the pounds to see if that doesn't help until I can get an appointment with my new endocrinologist. Does anyone have any advice as far as diet goes because I'm thinking about going right for pizza and Chinese for a few weeks. While it depresses me a little, I don't know what else to do.
2 things:
- if you are on Spiro, you lose more sodium than usual so low sodium is not always the best thing to do. Check with your doctor and/or pharmacist.
- regarding low fat, go on
youtube.com and check out Gary Taubes, Sally Fallon, Mary Enig, Mary Vernon, Peter Attia, Jeff Volek, Stephen Phinney, Eric Westman and the book by Nina Teicholz is a gem, I think.
Best of luck.
