Weight Loss During Menopause

Why am I gaining?

While "consume less, move more" is good advice, it doesn't work when your hormones are sabotaging your efforts. Losing weight during menopause is difficult because during perimenopause and menopause, our estrogen and progesterone levels decrease our muscle mass, which slows down our metabolic rate and results in fewer calories burned. It gets harder and harder to lose weight around our "middle." Check with your local menopause expert on a menopause weight loss plan for you. Here are some things we find useful from the experts:
