Hello,  so is there any menopause women who have been gaining weight or have a hard time losing on a vegan diet?   

I am a life time fitness and dieter.   I have always been an easy gainer, but back in my 40's (51 now)  I was in the best shape of my life but a meat eater.  I ate very lean meats, low fat and no crap outside of a treat once in a while.   Of course i exercised, especially weight lifting.  

Okay so now i am older, and the weight that took my a good 3 years to loose is back, and take me 3 years to gain.   I know why but that is not the issue.    I need help getting some off again.  

I have recently gave up eaing processed mock meats,  way to much sodium and processed.   I live on grains, beans, lentils, tofu, lots of veggies and a small amount of fruit.    I know i need to drop the wheat grains, just not easy to do.    

So anyone else in the same boat?
