Are You Looking For Natural Menopause Weight Gain Relief?
By Kathi Casey, EYRT, CPI

Are you looking for relief from that stubborn menopausal and peri-menopausal weight gain? Do you find the overload of information out there on diet and exercise just not very helpful? Smile, natural relief is on the way!

Most of us gain weight in our hips and waist during peri-menopause and menopause even when we don't change our intake of food. The direct link between insulin metabolism and body fat is one of the issues we may be dealing with and this has more to do with our lifelong eating habits than with our age. Unfortunately, most of us grew up eating a diet high in simple carbohydrates like white bread, crackers, cereal, and bagels. There wasn't as much information out there forty years ago about how the body metabolizes these simple carbs as there is now. Recent studies have linked insulin resistance to this type of diet and when we're insulin resistant, our bodies turn every calorie we eat into fat. It's like our body goes to war with itself! Lovely! But here are some things you can do to get relief from that natural menopause weight gain: ]]>
Shop only in the outside aisles of the super market. These are filled with whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, lean meats and other fresh sources of protein, low fat dairy items. Stay away from the center aisles that contain processed foods, cereals, crackers, etc.

Next, talk to you doctor or a nutritionist about getting on a low glycemic index diet. A low glycemic index diet will help you increase your metabolism so that your body will burn more calories, instead of storing them all in your mid section. As a bonus, this type of diet also reduces your risk of heart disease and losing the excess fat can also reduce your risk for breast cancer.

It's easier than you think to find low glycemic index foods that you enjoy and healthy recipes for cooking them. Use this as an opportunity to sample foods that you've never tasted. Think of it as your next adventure!

Let me know how you make out. And when you're ready for more simple solutions just like this one, to help you find natural relief for that annoying menopausal weight gain and other menopausal symptoms, I have a whole tool box full of tips and techniques to help you feel energized and enjoy your life more at www.MenopauseHotFlashRemedies.com
