Menopause weight gain: Stop the middle age spread
As I mentioned in an earlier post about taking care of yourself and not letting yourself go — I am sure you have noticed there are many women out there that once they hit premenopause they start to gain weight around the middle area. These are women who never really had issues before — Does it have to happen? I think there are some realities of aging that are just fact, but things like weight gain for no specific reason is usually hormone related and should be looked in to. We women do not have to settle for regular doctors who do not believe in exploring what used to be called ‘alternative’ medicine. There are a whole host of doctors out there that are approaching medicine with the whole mind & body taken into account. They are running tests looking at things that your family doctor didn’t even know to look for — adrenal glands, hormonal levels etc.
So if you see signs of menopause creeping up like the middle age spread, you don’t have to just say — oh well, it’s part of getting older because in most cases — it doesn’t have to be that way. And while this article talks about staying active and paying attention to nutrition — all important things — I also think talking to your doctor or asking some other women in your life about it are worthwhile as well. You don’t have to take getting older lying down, ya know.
As you get older, you may notice that maintaining your usual weight becomes more difficult. In fact, the most profound weight gain in a woman’s life tends to happen during the years leading up to menopause (perimenopause). Weight gain after menopause isn’t inevitable, however. You can reverse course by paying attention to healthy-eating habits and leading an active lifestyle.

I am a health coach and about 1/2 of my clients are women between 50-65 who are experiencing this very problem. In fact, they have already gained the weight and are now looking to take it off. It’s depressing to think that there is no other alternative, but there definitely is.
I totally agree that weight gain does NOT have to be inevitable. I am excited that I have a tool that will help me keep my weight in check through the menopausal years. Paying attention to nutrition is important, but there is so much confusion about what to eat and what not to eat. So many women say to me, “But I’m not eating carbs and I’m still gaining weight, I don’t understand!” My program is easy, affordable, and doesn’t require tons of education on nutrition. It just requires the desire to take control of one’s health, and my services as a health coach are FREE because we feel that everyone should have a coach. Women especially really value the presence of someone to talk to and ask questions of, and the support really makes all the difference.
Contact me if you want information about my program. It’s OK to want to try it yourself, but if it works with someone else’s help, and that help is free, then just go for it because your life will change!
Thankfսlness ttо mү father who informed me on the topic of this weƅ site, this web site is
genuinely remarkable.
By the way, if all you did was to do your best to change that
above list, you’d be doing yourself a tremendous service.
Some suggestions are, cinnamon, lemon, sweet orange, coconut,
chocolate, and hazelnut. This liquid is then heated to boiling and treated with chemical solvents to remove impurities.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for
your site. You have some really great posts and
I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some
of the load off, I’d really like to write some material for your blog in exchange for a
link back to mine. Please shoot me an email if interested.
Cheers!
Undeniably believe that which you stated.
Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware
of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries
that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side
effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to
get more. Thanks
