I've been oh hormone therapy(Eligard) for 9 months. Lots of "manapause" and my weight has gone from 165-180. I walk everyday and try to get in a run about twice a week. I also eat healthy so I'm not real sure why I've gained 15. My testosterone is VERY low. Also, tell your husband to try and do resistance training for the muscles. Besides that I can't think of anything else. Oh, sleep can be affected too. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU GUYS!!!!!

Eight years on ADT and my weight has been steady at 189 for 20+ years. I get on a scale every day and if I gain a pound I might skip lunch, and I eat less at dinner. Sure, during the holidays I may gain two or 3 pounds but it doesn’t take me more than a couple of weeks to take it off. Pick a weight and try and target it by eating right.
I think the thing that gets people to gain weight is that they have munchies and don’t resist it. If I get munchies, I’ll eat a few pistachios or a piece of fruit an apple or orange (a few grapes these days). That doesn’t seem to put on weight if you don’t overdo it.
