My Mom has been low carbing with us since Jan. and she's lost inches, but she isn't losing as fast as she'd like and she's been very true to the 20-30 carbs per day. But she likes the way she feels so she's stuck with it. Now I can tell her it's the estrogen that's slowing everything down. She'll be so happy to know it isn't hidden carbs in her diet. Has anyone on HRT not needed as high of a dosage since low carbing? I know that my Mom is on a high dosage because her skin dries out and she would like to lower the dosage. Thanks for the info. You guys are great.
