Menopausal Weight Gain Tips

Menopausal weight gain  is common during this major transformation that is referred to as menopause.  During this time, you’ll want maximum energy and protection from disease.   A proper diet can help ensure success on both fronts.

Eating healthy is easier than you think.  You do not have to walk around with a calorie-counting book.   You do not have to eliminate all your favorite foods.  You do not have to eliminate snacks.   And you don’t have to live solely on grapefruit juice and tofu.   All you have to do is eat the right proportion of carbohydrates, protein, and fats and consume the right number of calories per day.

The number of calories you need to maintain your current weight is probably between 1,500 and 2,200 calories each day.  Your doctor can help you to figure out the right number for you, which will depend on your height, weight, how active you are, and your body mass index.
