That was my biggest fear but so far just 2 lbs - maybe. All the exercise definitely helps. I think it might have something to do with the lower fiber/gas diet.
Fiber is well known to increase satiety and these processed crackers and cereals just don’t cut it. In fact, they’ve always linked our obesity epidemic to poor food choices and low fiber so maybe it’s more that than anything else.
But of course feminizing hormones do produce more fat and water retention. The ‘no antibiotic, no hormones ever’ Purdue chicken thighs in my supermarket are more emu-sized than any chicken I’ve ever seen.
