You might be on to something here. My mother is on horomones and she is finding it very difficult to lose weight. Shes just been diagnosed with type II diabetes. Shes very fustrated and has consultaed her doctor and HE didnt mention anything about the horomone replacement. HE suggested a mild antidepressant. (This would decrease her hunger.) She decided against the meds. Thank god. Shes been on a low carb diet for 3 years. So shes not a rookie.I'm really interested in this horomone replacment. I have read that the extra estorgen is not that good for you? Something to the effect of your heart or heart disease. I'm not sure but I know that what I read was not positive. I would love to hear from others.
