Q: I cannot lose weight! I am 53 and been through menopause for 5 yrs. I exercise and eat a high fiber and low fat diet? I believe its hormonal, but a thyroid test came back normal? I am 5'1" and weight 180 lbs. Help!

A: I understand your frustration but I am not a medical doctor and so cannot comment regarding your hormones or thyroid levels. I suggest you locate a naturopath or homeopathic physician in your area for a holistic health assessment. Meanwhile, I recommend you read The Taming of the Chew to see if you find some ways to make helpful changes that you possibly haven't heard of.

Be well,
