No I have not asked the dr about that. Thanks for the links and I will look into this further

Vegetables, nuts and seeds, some beans and grains. Occasionally I will use vegan mayo or vegan chicken and/or veggie burgers.

Yes unfortunately to all of the above. And if I do use oil it's 1 tbsp of olive oil

Thanks for the response! Yes I am on estradiol 1&1/2 mg. I can not get through a day without it. I tried for a year using every natural product on the market and nothing worked. I use it mostly because of the hot flashes. I have to get some sleep at night and now with the HRT I only get up usually twice a night. Good thing is that the HRT is derived from plants not animals. I consume every vegetable there is. Every evening for dinner I will make a huge saled with all different veggies. Occasionally I'll use some vegan chicken strips or a veggie burger in it. Is it possible to have too many calories from vegetables? I was under the assumption you could have as many raw veggies as you would like without it impacting the caloric intake.

I am 40 yrs old and have been vegan for 1 year and vegetarian since 16. I am desperate for any advice I can get. I had a hysterectomy when I was 37 and my physical appearance has never been the same. I weight train and do cardio at least 3 times a week. I eat only whole foods during the week and have a "cheat" day on Saturdays which usually consists of french fries and some vegan bread with my last meal. I CAN NOT get my weight down. I am 5'2" and on average I would weigh between 115 and 120 pounds. Now I am lucky if I can get under 130. If there is anyone that can help it would be greatly appreciated.
