Weight Loss After Menopause

I know exactly how you feel. Frustrated, depressed, angry, confused and well, enough is enough. You are a rockstar in all areas of your life. You work hard, play hard, feel competent and confident (most of the time) BUT the extra weight just won't leave. No matter how many diet plans you attempt, no matter how many hours at the gym, that excess weight keeps hanging on.

I was there a couple of years ago. Ten years post menopause and trying every which way to eat; keto, paleo, intermittent fasting, HCG, you name it. Nothing worked. I found the answer and now my goal is your success.

Here's some basic info regarding menopause and weight loss. Be patient with yourself. You are not failing at this - everyone is unique and weight release encompasses more than just the food you are eating or not eating.

Losing weight after menopause can be challenging, but it is possible with the right approach. As we go through menopause, our estrogen levels decrease, which can cause a decrease in metabolism and an increase in body fat. Additionally, many of us experience a decrease in physical activity during this time due to factors such as busy schedules or joint pain.

Here are some tips to help:

1. Focus on whole foods: Eating a diet that is high in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can help support weight loss and overall health. Add more Colors to your plate - it will help you get variety.
2. Limit processed foods: Processed foods can be high in calories, unhealthy fats, and added sugars. Limiting these foods can help support weight loss. A no brainer here.
3. Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water can help you feel full and prevent overeating. Work towards half your body weight in ounces each day up to 100 ounces.
4. Incorporate strength training: Strength training can help build muscle mass, which can increase metabolism and support weight loss.
5. Engage in regular aerobic exercise: Regular aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, or cycling, can help burn calories and support weight loss.
6. Get enough sleep: Getting enough sleep can help regulate hormones that control appetite and metabolism. We can talk about this one.

Remember, weight loss after menopause is a journey that requires patience and commitment. By focusing on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep, you can achieve your weight loss goals and improve your overall health.
