Leah_guffey FYI: I am 69 years old. I have NO problem going down a few cup sizes, frankly. I have my degree in Culinary Arts and nutritional education comes along with that. I have a scale that analyzes my weight, fat %, muscle % and water %, so I am not the least concerned about the effects of my current rapid weight loss. Advice is very nice when it is asked for. Fortunately, as I said, I have a comprehensive education in nutrition and fitness and have, over years of trial and error, discovered what works for ME. Not everyone here has a full understand of micro and macro nutrition or the latest theories on weightloss. I appreciate your input however for some it could be discouraging. Thanks, but no thanks. I have found what works for me.
