Menopausal weight gain is a b!tch.
It’s one more of the MANY symptoms of aging.
But weight gain can’t all be blamed on decreasing estrogen that comes with menopause.
The good news is there are three things you can do TODAY to turn things around.
1.Without resistance training, you’re trading lean mass (muscle) for fat over time with more sedentary living.
-Muscle keeps you strong and functional and requires more calories to maintain.
Make sure you’re adding resistance training at least two times a week (I can help here).
2. Your lifestyle habits have likely changed subtly over time.
-High stress, less quality sleep, low protein, less wholesome foods – all take their toll and contribute to visceral (mid-section) fat over time.
-*Men also experience this.
Check your habits related to nutrition, stress and sleep (here’s where you probably need some outside eyes).
3.Your hormones have changed but you can talk to your doctor to see if MHT (menopause hormone therapy) is right for you.
-MHT may indirectly help with weight loss because it will address the MANY OTHER symptoms of menopause that make life so difficult.
See if MHT is right for you, talk to your doctor.
