STOP THE MENOPAUSE WEIGHT GAIN

Why are you gaining weight during menopause

And what to do to keep it off

 

WHY

are you gaining weight

  1. SHIFTS IN HORMONES

  2. LOSING MUSCLE TISSUE

  3. MOVING LESS

  4. LOWERED METABOLISM

  5. NOT SLEEPING ENOUGH

During menopause, your body experiences hormonal changes that can lead to weight gain. To combat this, focus on weight training exercises to maintain muscle mass, stay active, prioritize quality sleep, and consider adjusting your diet to support your changing metabolism.

HOW

to keep it off

  1. GET MORE SLEEP

  2. EAT MORE PROTEIN

  3. GO ON WALKS

  4. STRENGTH TRAIN

  5. DRINK LESS ALCOHOL

  6. EAT WHOLE FOODS

  7. AVOID JUNK FOOD

 

How to keep it off:

  • Get more sleep: Prioritize quality sleep to support hormone regulation and overall well-being.

  • Eat more protein: Protein helps maintain muscle mass, supports metabolism, and keeps you feeling full and satisfied.

  • Go on walks: Stay active with regular walks to boost calorie burn and improve cardiovascular health.

  • Strength train: Incorporate weight training exercises to build and maintain muscle mass, which can help counteract age-related muscle loss and support a healthy metabolism.

  • Drink less alcohol: Alcohol can contribute to weight gain and disrupt sleep, so reducing your intake can support your weight loss efforts.

  • Eat whole foods: Focus on a diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains to support overall health and weight management.

  • Avoid junk food: Minimize processed foods, sugary snacks, and high-calorie, low-nutrient foods that can contribute to weight gain and negatively impact your health.

 

Stay consistent with these habits to support your weight loss goals and overall health during menopause.
