Stop trying to lose weight in menopause. Start trying to regain control of your metabolism.
Menopause weight gain isn't your fault. It's an insulin issue.
Here are 5 non-negotiable shifts:
✅ Drop the "healthy" carbs first. Oatmeal, whole wheat bread, and granola spike insulin just like sugar does now. Start here.
✅ Eat more fat, not less. Fat is your new best friend. It's stable energy that doesn't trigger the fat-storage hormone (insulin). Think avocado, olives, fatty fish.
✅ Fast overnight for 14 hours. Not eating from 8pm to 10am gives your insulin a long break. This is metabolic repair time.
✅ Stop "working off" your meals. Exercise for strength and stress relief, not punishment. Long cardio can raise cortisol (belly fat hormone).
✅ Track inches, not just pounds. The scale might stall as you build muscle and lose fat. Your jeans don't lie.
