Managing weight while on anastrozole can be challenging. Here are some tips that might help:

1. Track Your Eating: Keep a log of all your meals and snacks. This can help you identify areas where you might be eating more than you realize.
2. Limit Alcohol: Alcoholic beverages can be high in calories. Opt for low-calorie nonalcoholic drinks or lower-calorie alcoholic options.
3. Increase Exercise: Gradually add more physical activity to your routine. Start small and build up to a regular exercise program.
4. Eat More Fiber: Incorporate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes into your diet. Fiber can help you feel fuller and reduce overeating.
5. Make Mindful Food Choices: Choose beverages with less sugar, order wisely when dining out, and replace junk food with healthy snacks.
6. Consider Other Causes: Weight gain might not be solely due to anastrozole. Other medications, hormonal changes, or lifestyle factors like quitting smoking could also contribute.

If you're still struggling, consulting with a dietitian or wellness coach might provide more personalized strategies.
