You CAN Lose Menopause Weight Gain

It is a fact that two out of three women gain on average 10 to 15 pounds when they reach the menopause. This may even start in your forties - the perimenopause.

Has that happened to you? If so, you have probably also found that this weight gain is much harder to lose. In fact it can seem almost impossible, because conventional weight loss diets just don't seem to work in the way they did when you were younger. Well, take heart! There IS a solution. You CAN lose that menopausal weight, relatively quickly and easily. I'm not talking about losing 10 pounds in a week - that wouldn't be good for you anyway. What I am talking about is consistent, steady weight loss of about 2 pounds a week.

Life can be so UNFAIR!

Especially for a Woman!

Do you sometimes think we women get a raw deal? Most of us, from our early teenage years, right through our forties, and sometimes into our fifties, have to put up with periods. At best these are an inconvenience - at worst they can mean the misery of painful cramps, or bloating, or mood swings, or all of these. Then we reach the menopause. Great - no more periods! So then what happens? Night sweats, hot flushes (or flashes), and more mood swings - that's what! These are the things our mothers may have warned us about when we were younger. I bet most of us weren't told about the other symptoms like vaginal dryness or loss of libido. To top it all there's the dreaded menopausal weight gain!

What Causes Menopause Weight Gain?

And Why is it so Difficult to Lose?

As you enter the early stages of menopause, you discover that your weight gain tends to accumulate around the abdomen, rather than the hips and thighs as it did before menopause. People often refer to this as an "apple" shape, because the stomach area becomes more round. An extra pound before menopause will settle evenly over hips, bottom, thighs, and arms. After menopause, it all goes round the middle!

Most of this weight will come on gradually - generally about a pound a year.
Maintaining weight becomes more and more difficult, and losing weight becomes almost impossible. Why is this?

Well it's mainly down to the fluctuation in your hormones. Your body's hormones have a direct impact on your appetite, metabolism, and fat storage. At this stage, women develop "insulin resistance" making their bodies store fat, rather than burn calories. This "insulin resistance" changes how our bodies handle the foods we eat.

For example, if you ate 1,000 calories before menopause, you would burn 700 of them and store around 300. After menopause, your body will store 700 and burn only 300! This is a big difference, and the result is weight gain! Because the excess weight tends to settle around your middle, even a modest weight gain can result in a change of dress size.

Warning!

Excessive weight gain could also be a sign that something is wrong with your hormone levels, blood sugars, or eating habits. Visit your doctor if your weight gain is out of control. Excessive fat stored around the abdomen can lead to an increased risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes

So what CAN you do about Menopause Weight Gain?

Although it is more difficult to lose menopause weight, it isn't impossible. The daily changes you make now can yield important benefits for a long time to come. The tips should help if you have only a few pounds to lose. If you need to lose 10 or more pounds you will probably need more help.
  1. Reduce calories.
  2. Eat a balanced diet.
  3. Practise portion control.
  4. Drink plenty of water.
  5. Increase your physical activity.
  6. Don't lose large amounts of weight quickly.

“I've tried all that and I STILL can't lose weight. Help!”

You DEFINITELY Need More Help

"Oh No, Not Another Diet!"

Let's face it. You don't get to the menopause time of life without knowing how to lose weight when you need to. But this time, the strategies which worked when you were younger just aren't having the same effect now. I know this, because that's what happened to me too!

I put on 40 pounds when I reached the menopause. I tried and tried to lose my own massive menopause weight gain. Nothing worked and I was about to give up and resign myself to getting fatter and fatter when I came across an online weight loss program called "Strip That Fat".

I thought, "Oh no - not another diet!" But I was desperate, so I decided to give it a try. It comes with a 60 day money back guarantee, so I felt I had nothing to lose (except weight of course). And, guess what? It's working! I certainly haven't lost all that 40 pounds yet, but I am steadily losing 2 pounds each and every week. That 2 pounds is almost 100% fat. (I know that because I have the kind of scales which tell me whether I'm losing fat or water.) I'm so thrilled about it that I want to tell all the other women out there who are still struggling to lose their menopausal weight gain.

So what exactly is Strip That Fat, and why does it work so well for weight loss during the menopause?

What Exactly IS Strip That Fat?

And What's so Great about It Anyway?

Strip That Fat is an online weight loss program - a diet guide book, called the "Strip That Fat Secret Dieting Guide", that downloads instantly to your computer, and comes with various extras. One of the extras I particularly love is a very useful Diet Generator that allows you to create your very own diets then print off a shopping list. There are over 40,000 different two week diet combinations that you can create.

However, Strip That Fat isn't a 'diet' in the usual sense. Rather than being a rigid and restrictive plan, which you stick to for a while, lose some weight, then go off and put it all back on again, Strip That Fat aims to help people make healthy and permanent changes in their eating habits, so the weight will stay off. It's much more than a normal diet or weight loss book - it's a guide to healthy eating and lifestyle.

Strip That Fat offers two membership options - the Gold and the Platinum levels. Both come with a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you can feel comfortable making a buying decision. Both levels offer the automatic generator, of course, and they both offer the Secret Dieting Guide.

Gold Membership

The Gold Membership costs $47. For that you get the following:


  • Strip That Fat Secret Dieting Guide: The "Secret" part of the Guide is the information they
    provide that actually helps keep you motivated and educated about what's going on inside you while you are fighting the "battle of the bulge." It's like having a diet buddy that knows more about weight loss than you do.
  • STF Personalized Diet Generator : this makes it super-easy to plan your meals by inputting your favorite foods from a choice of about 40,000 combinations (it even provides a shopping list based on your choices to print out!).
  • Access to All Gold Package Updates: The company is constantly improving and adding new features to the diet and Diet Generator software all the time. They also offer bonuses (for those of you that like free gifts) every once in awhile as well. You get access to package updates when you purchase the Strip That Fat System!
  • 60-Day Full Money Back Guarantee: Strip That Fat is sold through Clickbank, a highly reputable US company which is the world's largest provider of digital products. All Clickbank products, including Strip That Fat, are protected by a
    60 day money back guarantee, so you can basically try the program for eight weeks without any risk. You have nothing to lose - except fat!

Platinum Membership

The Platinum Membership costs $57 and, in my opinion, is well worth the extra $10.

You get everything you get with the Gold Membership, plus you also get:



  • Calworries Guide: A second foolproof, calories based diet program, which enables you to lose weight even faster!
  • Calorie Counting Worksheet.
  • Living Life Healthy Guide: 30 Healthy Recipes, which are quick and easy, taste great, and you don't have to feel guilty about eating them.
  • Access to All Platinum Package Updates.

Why is Strip That Fat so Effective for Menopause Weight Loss?

A major cause of menopause weight gain, and which is also what makes it so difficult to lose weight at this time, is the slowing down of our metabolism. Every year after the age of 40, our Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) - the rate at which we burn off calories - slows down. This means that, if we continue to follow our current eating and exercise pattern, we will gain at least a pound a year! How depressing! We need either to reduce our intake or increase our exercise to stay the same. But... wouldn't it be great if, instead, we could INCREASE our BMR?

This is why Strip That Fat is so successful:
  • "What if we told you that you could burn more calories and have a better metabolism simply by eating more often? How do 5 meals a day sound? Well, this is the truth. If you eat smaller meals and eat the right foods, you can actually eat more and lose more weight!"
    Eating smaller meals more often really does boost the metabolic rate, making fat loss faster. With Strip That Fat, you won't be starving yourself, or missing meals.
  • "Did you know that you can actually lose more weight simply by eating the right metabolism burning foods?"
    This is one of the "secrets" you will learn in the "Strip That Fat Secret Dieting Guide"
  • "There are even certain exercises that will make your body burn more calories while you are resting (and even sleeping)!"
    Another cool thing Strip That Fat will teach you is which exercise you can do to actually increase your metabolism, and increase the calories you burn while you are resting!
  • Your Body requires food to function. Losing weight the wrong way by not eating is actually worse for you than gaining weight. If you think that following diets that tell you to eat very little, drink only liquids, or something else that seems "crazy", don't do it. It will affect the way your brain functions and slow your metabolism down to a GRINDING HALT! You CANNOT lose weight and stay healthy by starving yourself of nutrition.
  • During the menopause it is essential to eat a healthy, balanced diet to avoid illnesses, such as osteoporosis, in later life.
  • Don't lose large amounts of weight quickly: There is a balance between being too thin and just right. Being very thin can lead to an increased chance of developing osteoporosis.

    I also think it helps to eat a lot of fresh fruit and veggies. It adds fiber, keeps you full, and may provide some enzymes that help rid of us fat.
