60 seconds in menopause video transcript:
Did you know that stress can be a huge contributory factor to weight gain in the perimenopause and the menopause?
Stress especially will put weight on around the middle, so this is a classic symptom (sign). Stress will need to be addressed, so look at some really good stress remedies and also don't forget that little bit of 'me-time' every day, just for some rest and relaxation.
Your carb metabolism can change during the menopause as well, making it more likely to put weight on. So, maybe think about going on a low-carb diet for maybe a month or two to see if that sort of suits you.
Also, remember to keep your blood sugar levels stable. If you have big gaps in between meals your blood sugar level can plummet and you will start craving really sweet things. So, (eating) little and often work well for most women.
