Found: The Menopause Weight Solution

Many women ask: Is it possible to prevent and even lose weight as menopause begins? Yes, here is the menopause weight solution I found.

First, let's discuss the difference between weight gained prior to, and after, menopause.

Adipose tissue, fat, as it is commonly known, tends to collect under the skin, prior to menopause. Fat tissue above the muscles is what makes our bellies, batwings and necks jiggle. This layer of fat is subcutaneous and is not easily shed.

Fat that we acquire at and after menopause, however, is very different, for two reasons. First, the not so good news: it is visceral fat, which means it collects around the organs and complicates the health. Second, the good news: it responds much better to proper exercise and diet.

Visceral fat is directly related to heart disease, coronary artery disease, type II diabetes and hypertension. It interferes with the operation of the liver, too. Exercise that you do for regular fat, however, will work supremely better on getting rid of the visceral fat. You know how hard it is to get rid of cellulite, right? Visceral fat is not nearly so difficult.

The menopause weight solution is easy to obtain. Basically, it really is about knowing the difference between the two types of fat and how they are gained, because the methods to lose it are the same: exercise and a proper, healthy diet.

Fresh fruits, veggies and leans meats, along with avoidance of white flour products, sugars and saturated fats are the dietary requirements. Fruits and vegetables provide minerals and vitamins and keep the bowels functioning as they should. Lean meats are a far better source of protein than fatty cuts. Oils and margarines should be of the non-saturated, low-calorie and low cholesterol varieties. It would also help to add vitamin supplements, as well and plenty of water to keeps things operating smoothly.

The best menopause weight solution is taking good care of yourself. Pay attention to the signals your body sends you about your health. Anything that is suspect, have checked by a physician. Get plenty of rest and engage is activities that make you happy.

Exercise should become a daily routine now, if it hasn't already. A sedentary lifestyle is the last thing you should have right now. The conundrum is that, as menopause sets in, your metabolism starts slowing down. What a catch-22 that is! Just when you need the energy, your body says no. So, the strength of your will power is going to make the difference. Not to worry. Once you make the routine a habit, your energy levels will pick right back up. 30-60 minutes a day of a solid aerobic activity, 6 days a week will suffice. Aerobic activities can be as simple as walking, swimming or dancing.


The menopause weight solution is not a miracle, but more about common sense. Get up and move, eat healthy, sleep well. Now is the time for you to live and enjoy and believe me the menopause weight solution will be easy to get.
