Diet Changes To Aid Weight Loss During Menopause!

Menopause and diet

When you are in the menopause or peri-menopausal, one of the most important things to do when you are trying to get in shape, is taking cautions with your diet. This does not take any time from your schedule and you will feel much healthier when you eat the right foods, in the right quantity, at the right time and frequency.

Change your diet

One of the best ways to change your diet is to change to an organic one.

It is good to increase the fibre in your diet, which will clean out your colon of all negative weight loss inhibitors. This means that instead of eating refined or processed foods, you should eat whole grain foods like brown rice and whole wheat bread. This has more fibre and less bad fats such as trans fat and cholesterol.

Vitamins and minerals

You should also increase your input of protein, minerals and vitamins. To do this, it is good to eat more fruits and vegetables and substitute red meat for fish and chicken or if you love red meat then make sure it is organic and grass fed. Chicken and fish meats have less calories than fat and still provide plenty of protein.

Junk Food 

One of the most important parts of changing your diet is to completely eliminate junk food. This will include sweets, crisps, popcorn, ice cream, milk shakes and sodas/fizzy drinks.

You can substitute fruits and vegetable snacks instead of junk or processed foods. Instead of fizzy drinks you can drink water or dilute juice with water for flavour. You will find this makes a huge difference in your sugar and fat intake.

More Energy

You will feel healthier and have more energy when you change your diet. At first you may feel a little different with the extra fibre and complete change in food but, this will soon pass and your body will work better and more efficiently. You will have more energy and feel like an entirely new, better healthier person.

Keeping Fit

Keeping fit does not just depend on exercises, diet also plays an important part in improving your fitness and being a healthier weight.

Remember that looking after your health and staying fit is an investment in yourself and something you should not neglect or you will find that you will regret poor health habits later.

Diet

Diet is one part of staying fit that does not take any time and you will reap the benefits throughout your life once you get into a good habit.

With these few points you can make huge strides towards staying fit and healthy and being able to do the things you want to do.

First of all, focus on protein. This nutrient is crucial for maintaining muscle mass, which tends to decrease as we age. Plus, protein keeps you feeling fuller for longer, so you're less likely to overeat. Good sources of protein include chicken, fish, beans and Greek yogurt.

Next, ditch the sugary drinks Soda, juice and sweetened coffee drinks can be a major source of empty calories. Instead, opt for water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee. If you need some flavour, try infusing your water with fresh fruit or herbs.

Another tip: go for fibre.Fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes can help you feel full and satisfied, without adding too many calories. Plus, fibre helps regulate your digestion and can improve your cholesterol levels.

Finally, don't be afraid of healthy fats. Avocado, nuts, seeds and olive oil are all great sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.

Just be sure to watch your portion sizes, as fats are high in calories.
