Weight gain that does not come off
I am post menopausal. Work out with weights and yoga 5 days a week. Eat very healthy 2 meals a day, no snacking, sugar or drinks. I am fit and toned everywhere except the fact that I am have put on 10 lbs and it is only in the region between my sternum and pelvis.
I drink ACV every day, alkalize my body, etc. etc. I know all about estrogen being stored in the belly area, but this is more than that, and this stubborn bloating and distension is driving me crazy.
Does anyone have a similar story that they resolved through something natural? Please share.

Have you looked into "intermittent fasting"? I am 69 and doing 20/4 fasting. I eat (during my eating window of 4 hours) from noon to 4 o'clock two meals. No diet foods, just normal everyday type foods. I don't over do it of course but do not deny myself the foods I like. I do not weigh myself, just go by how my clothes fit. I went from an 18 down to a 12 now after 8 months. I will continue until I've reached my desired size. Some people are more comfortable having a longer eating window, such as 16/8 or 18/6 etc. I have more weight loss in the 20/4 range. I would never take a diet drug ever. Good luck in your weight loss journey! :)

Do not even consider Ozempic for weight loss. After taking it just once, it destroys your ability to digest food ever again! It has poisonous Gia Monster venom in it!

Correction: at 67 I was about 258 Pounds.
I have finally at 71 years of age lost 18 of those pounds.

Has anyone come up with any other remedies to help lose weight for growing menopause? I am planning towards drug therapy. Zepbound I believe that it's how it's spelled. The weight gain is causing other issues in my health and think it is a version of Ozempic. I am getting desperate now and don't want to be fat out of shape and unhealthy.
