Low carbing and HRT

6 replies

I've been low carbing since the end of May and lost 12lbs. Went back onto HRT after a break and I'm now really struggling to lose weight despite being pretty consistent in what I'm eating ie bootcamp rules.

Has anyone successfully lost weight low carbing while on HRT? Hopefully I'm jus tbeing paranoid. I first started HRT 3 years ago which coincided with me gradually putting on an extra stone, so I'm worried!

Once the podge started gathering at my middle I made a really conscious effort diet wise.
I started logging everything I consume on My Fitness Pal and stuck to my daily calorie total. Im actually thinner now I’m on HRT than I’ve ever been.
It really must be too many calories tbh. Have you tried weighing and logging how many calories you are actually eating, regardless of sticking to the rules? Work out your tdee (maintenance calories) then reduce this by 20% to find how many calories you need to stick to in order to lose weight. tdeecalculator.net/

Agree with above poster. I keto but also don’t consume too many calories. Started HRT at same time and thinner at 56 than at 40.

Thanks I'll have a think. Good to know it's not automatic anyway

@Bryonyshcmyony i am feeling the side effects of the HRT on the scale too. What did work in the end?
