Am I the oldest here?
Hello gentle folk. I am a 50yrs+ post menopausal woman & just started Mounjaro 2.5 a month ago. Ever since puberty I've struggled with weight gain, hirsutism & PCOS which was not really recognized as a metabolic problem in those days.
Retrospectively , I can make out what happened when & certain treatments that I was put on, the diets that I was put on wreaked even more havoc on my endocrinal milieu.
My youth was the time of fat free & high carb diets & one can just about imagine what used to happen every time I went to a dietitian ! I spent most off my youth yo-yoing & put back 1.5 kg for every 1 kg lost.
Then came pregnancy & post delivery & I literally ballooned & got high blood pressure etc. There were depressive episodes too & I was struggling with my husband & marriage & work & somehow food became comfort & ..... I was suddenly 112 kg when my kid turned 18 !
Now I'm trying to take control of the metabolic switch of insulin resistance & I would really appreciate advise from those who have been on this journey for a longer period of time.
Please share tips & tricks for weight control, eating better, supplements, natural substances added to the diet (eg cinnamon is supposed to help with IR), exercise, training, any hacks, anything that you found helpful & anything that could help me.
This my first reddit post lol ! Apologies for any errors, grammatical or otherwise.
I would be very grateful to this community for all the help that I could get.
