Menopause is a significant life stage that can bring changes to your body, including weight gain. But did you know that this isn’t inevitable? With the right approach, you can manage your weight and feel your best.
Here’s How:
- Focus on Strength: Incorporate strength training to maintain muscle mass, which helps keep your metabolism active.
- Choose Whole Foods: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and plant-based proteins (such as beans) supports hormone balance and keeps you full longer.
- Stay Active: Regular physical activity, including both cardio and strength exercises, is key to managing weight and overall health.
- Mindful Eating: Practice portion control and mindful eating to avoid overeating, especially during stressful times.
- Sleep Well: Prioritize quality sleep as it plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy weight.
Adapting your lifestyle with these simple changes can make a big difference. Embrace this phase with confidence and take charge of your health!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
