I'm nearing age 52 now and my cycle comes every four weeks without fail though it only lasts about two days, which is fine by me. I'm hoping for menopause so I don't have to deal with it anymore, and hopeful that losing nearly 125 pounds so far will make any symptoms I do have easier to bear. I don't remember my mother ever complaining of menopausal symptoms, but she did say she went through menopause at age 55, so I may have a few more years to put up with it.Anna Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519758955756843106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-67571273221722228232015-07-01T22:18:19.585+01:002015-07-01T22:18:19.585+01:00This has been a very popular post and has received...This has been a very popular post and has received a lot of reads ... and continues to do so. With thanks to the readers above who have left their thoughts/comments. I do think it important to exchange views, thoughts, helpful hints etc to help every woman (and man) who does go through this time of life. The Low Carb Dietitian Franziska Spritzler has also written about this and you may want to read her posts. I give a link to this particular one: <br /><br />http://www.lowcarbdietitian.com/blog/aging-gracefully-with-carbohydrate-restriction-and-mind-body-exercise<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-80337317384763776872015-06-30T21:07:22.901+01:002015-06-30T21:07:22.901+01:00I adopted a low carb lifestyle about 1 year before...I adopted a low carb lifestyle about 1 year before perimenopause became menopause. I still had hot flashes and sleepless nights, but I'd been having that for a very long time anyway, and it wasn't too bad. <br /><br />However, once I switched over to true menopause (confirmed by blood tests) my weight loss stalled--I still had about 50 lbs to go. I'm trying to be grateful that I've lost 75lbs and I'm NOT gaining. I have great blood sugars and I feel 1000% better. <br /><br />As for menopause symptoms, they have been very easy for me since going low carb. I can't complain. I still occasionally get a few clusters of hot flashes, but I find increasing my Omega 3 fats calms them down. I LOVE menopause. I have PCOS and the irregular, unpredictable, heavy periods were terrible, PMS was CONSTANT for 40 years!!!! Now I feel great, no cramps, no bleeding, no mood swings, no crying jags, not a single pimple, no unpredictability. I would have done this a long time ago if I knew what I know now and if I'd had the choice!JanKnitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178703790352191912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-71515204555028018592015-06-30T20:50:35.454+01:002015-06-30T20:50:35.454+01:00I can verify the hot flashes, mood swings and the ...I can verify the hot flashes, mood swings and the lack of sleep. It is awful and I hope it ends soon.

In fact, I had far greater mood swings in my younger years than in my later life. And when I retired from a job I didn't like, I easily lost a lot of weight.
