The Five Pound Club - Kathy Atwell

I am age 40; Three sons and a wonderful husband; Live on a small farm in the Ozarks; Homeschool my boys; freelance writer
Unfortunately, I was a horrid eater even though I maintained a fairly slender body even through three pregnancies.....I started hearing about The Menopause Diet on Hotflash!, the on-line perimenopause support group and web site, and ordered the book and cookbook....How shocked I was when after the very first week I lost two pounds and felt like my stomach was bulging less than normal!...I am so glad that I found this eating plan and I certainly recommend it to every woman I know!
