How to Lose Weight During Menopause
How To Lose Weight During Menopause with diet and exercise
Menopause doesn’t lead directly to weight gain, but the hormonal changes that occur during menopause might make you more likely to gain weight around your waist and stomach, rather than in the hips and thighs. For many women, this is more noticeable in a negative way. Weight gain in the abdominal area may feel more unattractive, and for women who are going through menopause, this is just added to the list of other symptoms, such as sleepiness, feelings of sadness, and physical symptoms such as hot flashes and fatigue.
You don’t have to gain weight during menopause!
If you make some simple yet persistent changes to your lifestyle, you can lose weight during menopause or prevent yourself from gaining extra weight in the first place. Remember, the key to healthy weight loss is the development of a healthy lifestyle.
How hypnotherapy can help you
If you’re going through menopause, you understand the changes it brings to the body and mind. You might not be feeling like yourself, especially if you’ve experienced weight gain in different parts of the body than you’re used to. If you’re committed to improving your lifestyle for the better, meeting with a hypnotherapist can benefit you immensely! A good hypnotherapist can get you on the right track to lose weight during menopause, but it’s up to you to be determined and to want the change.
Tips for Losing Weight During Menopause
Your hypnotherapist will help you set some goals and rules, such as limiting your carb intake to 100 grams per day. It’s important to limit carbs because they are not nutrient-dense and do not keep you full. For example, if you typically eat toast for breakfast, you will be hungry much sooner afterward than if you had eaten two eggs or yogurt instead. Initially, you may feel like you miss carbs, but if you include the right foods in your diet, like more protein, this will become a habit and you won’t crave carbs ever again.
Stay Hydrated
Your hypnotherapist may also help you develop healthy hydration habits to lose weight. Staying hydrated simply helps you feel better, and it helps your body do its job. To make healthy hydration into a habit, it’s important to remind yourself to drink water often. Keep a water bottle at your nightstand, by the stove, at the office—anywhere you spend time. You will be shocked by how quickly this can become a habit and by how much better you’ll feel on a daily basis.
Movement
Another key element to losing weight during menopause is to get moving. Going through menopause, the last thing you might want to do is go to the gym, but you don’t have to! Get on a schedule where you take a short walk at the same time each day. Use a pedometer or an app on your phone to track your steps, and keep adding more every few days. Before you know it, you will develop a habit—your body and mind will be craving movement. You will begin to lose weight and you’ll feel great doing it.
Music
Listening to music is a wonderful way to fill the boyd with those positive vibes. A great time for this is when you are walking, driving to at home perhaps cleaning or cooking. Classical music or popular music, it doesn’t matter what you prefer. However make it art of your everyday ritual.
