Many women run into really frustrating weight gain during menopause - why is this happening and what can you do about it - and how to avoid the frustrating and defeating cycle of dieting and not losing weight.
It's not a math equation with calories in and exercise out - if you're eating the same that you've eaten you're whole life - but now you're gaining weight - WHAT'S CHANGED?
HORMONOES play a huge role in your metabolism. JJ Virgin says, "Calories do count, but hormones count far more."
So hormones are the thing that's often missing in the equation.
Your hormones and your metabolism determine how much your craving, how hungry you are, and how many calories you're burning per hour 24/7
Some hormones tell your body to take everything you eat - and STORE IT AS FAT - STORE FAT STORE FAT - and it's easier to get higher levels of those hormones during menopause. When you decrease those hormones and increase the ones that tell your body - use those calories up for something useful - no need to save them for later - you'll start losing weight much more easily.
Having too much of the wrong kind of exercise can actually make it harder to lose weight! Find out the details of what kinds of exercise work best.
I give tips in the video on how to change things in your body so it's easy to lose weight during menopause and lose fat.
Here's what can help - boost your metabolism and get the right type of hormones circulating in your body.
Protein - can help boost metabolism and stabilize blood sugar - control hunger and burn fat.
Fat - Eating too LITTLE fat can actually slow down your weight loss! Fats help your body put sugar and calories into your bloodstream more slowly and steadily over time.
