I've put on 2 lb over a year, I'm very carefull with what I eat. Friends say I'm not eating enough. I have ceral for breakfast, A slice of cold brown toast about 11am, Cuppa and maybe 3 biscuits about 5.30, a piece of chicken about 7, them maybe 2 oranges. So I'm not eating too much, I'm 60 next March. 5 ft 5 inch and my weight is 9 st 2 lb. I'm frightend of putting more on. Could it be the menopause?
If you have not already gone through the menopause then it may be that the process is making it harder for you to metabolise your carbs properly - many women find this during the menopause.
Your diet, although, as you say, not heavy, is very much weighted towards carbs. You may find that having more cooked veg and a little more protein rather than so many carbs would help. Try a course of Molkosan Vitality to improve your carb metabolism too.
