Tips For Effective Menopausal Weight Loss

By Leslie Ball


It is a challenge for women at menopause and post menopause to control weight gain and loss. Gaining a few pounds is very easy but loosing becomes a huge challenge. Experts have studied this challenge and recommended very simple tips for menopausal weight loss. The solution is long term and does not involve tasteless foods or strenuous exercises.

The dietary magic can be revealed by scheduling a visit to your nutritionist. The nutritionist studies your diet and makes recommendations for adjustment. The nutritionist is a single unit in a trilogy that also includes a psychologist and an exercise physiologist. The three offer a comprehensive and professional approach that is guaranteed to deliver reliable results.

The foods recommended by nutritionists ensure that you do not gain body fat and at the same time loose the excess. Professional nutritionists recommended that a woman should take more vegetables and fruits. There are different categories to ensure that your taste preferences are considered.

Nutritionists who specialized in shedding excess pounds recommended reduction in intake of processed sugars and deserts. The sweeteners in processed foods and deserts are packed with calories that are easy to absorb and convert into fat. This also applies to sweetened drinks. Women are also advised to avoid meat and cheese in order to keep body fat in check.

Checking your body weight offers numerous benefits including avoidance of lifestyle diseases. Risky diseases at this age include arthritis, high blood pressure and heart complications. The parts that are most affected by arthritis are the knees and hips. Women are also exposed to diabetes complications.

Every woman should form a habit of exercising on regular basis. This does not necessarily mean enrolling in a gym. The healthy and effective alternatives are gardening, dancing or working out for at least thirty minutes. Do not concentrate on a single exercise. Several exercises will help different parts of the body which leaves you feeling light and healthy. There are many opportunities to improvise exercise routines at home including use of stairs and lifting improvised objects.

Your choice of snacks and fast foods should be evaluated by a professional nutritionist. The aim is to eliminate unhealthy choices especially from the fridge and replace them with healthy alternatives. The alternatives are equally tasty but have the added benefit of providing good health.

Soft drinks like sodas and sweetened drinks should be kept out of reach. Their concentration of calories and its ability to lead to additional fat is alarming. A single bottle has the potential of reversing gains made over weeks. The best alternatives are seltzer water with lime wedge or lemon. It is equally refreshing and healthy.

To effectively manage your weight, avoid hunger at all costs. Keeping some fruits within reach is a perfect way to do that. Regular bits will keep your stomach full. This will minimize the urge to eat.

Every woman should find a partner to walk the weight management journey with. This makes jogging, walking or exercising more fun and memorable. The two or the group should establish a schedule and make it a routine. The suggestions given above should be followed consistently to guarantee good results.
