peri weight gain is NOT calories in/out the same way

same food as my 30s + more exercise + gained 12 lbs in a year at 47. i ran a food log. i wasn't eating more. hormones shifted where fat goes and insulin sensitivity. what helped: - strength training (actually heavy) - protein at every meal (was way under before) - HRT + consistent sleep - cutting back on evening wine still not 'back' to where i was but moving the right direction. don't let anyone tell you it's just discipline.
