If you're a woman going through menopause, you may be wondering how to lose weight without having to go on a diet, exercise or even have surgery. While there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, there are a few things you can do to help jumpstart your weight loss journey. Keep reading for tips on how to achieve your weight loss goals during menopause!
1. Cut out processed foods and eat more whole foods.
Processed foods are loaded with sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats that can contribute to weight gain. Instead of reaching for these unhealthy options, fill up on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats. This will help to boost your metabolism and keep your calorie intake in check.
2. Drink plenty of water.
Water is essential for weight loss and flushing out toxins from your body. Aim to drink eight glasses of water per day to keep your body hydrated and functioning at its best.
3. Get moving!
Exercise is key for weight loss, but it doesn't have to be boring or time-consuming. Find an activity that you enjoy and make time for it each day. Whether it's going for a walk, taking a dance class, or playing tennis, getting your body moving will help to burn calories and shed pounds.
4. Get enough sleep.
Sleep is often overlooked when it comes to weight loss, but it's actually very important. When you're well-rested, your body has the energy it needs to function properly and burn calories effectively. aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night to stay on track with your weight loss goals.
5. Manage stress levels.
Too much stress can lead to weight gain, so it's important to find ways to relax and de-stress. Try yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to help you calm down and reduce stress levels.
6. Don't forget to supplement.
As we age, our bodies become less efficient at absorbing nutrients from food. This is why it's important to supplement with vitamins and minerals that can help support weight loss. Omega-3 fatty acids, green tea extract, and probiotics are all great options to consider.
7. Talk to your doctor.
Before starting any weight loss journey, it's important to speak with your doctor. They can help you create a health plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
8. Seek out support.
Losing weight can be difficult, so it's important to have a supportive network of family and friends. Join a weight loss group or talk to a friend or family member who is also trying to lose weight. Having someone to talk to and share your experiences with can make the process much easier.

Approximately how much protein does a 130 lb woman need a day? I thought it was like 60 gms but it sounds like that’s way too low!? Thank you!!
That is way to low!! You want AT LEAST your lean body mass in grams of protein per day!
How much/what type of cardio do you recommend for women in menopause?
It’s more important to get nutrition solid first, and making sure the timing of food around the exercise is correct.
You are great” Dr. BW 〽️👊
Dr. Beth Westie thanks so much for these videos…good stuff!
I need in your group please! I am in a battle that I can’t win!
Would love to have you, Tammy! I have 2 spots left! http://bit.ly/menopausechallenge
If I reduce my calories increase my protein lower carbs and do wts and hiit will that prevent wt gain. I struggled with my at for years and finally got a handle of it . I still have the body image issues. I can’t bare the idea if putting on wt. I’m young and have worked so hard . I’ll live on soup and juice if I must
You definitely do not want to lower carbs, and I never recommend counting calories. Anytime you are restricting or limiting something you are putting the female body under stress, which leads to increase in fat storage!
How can I be part of ur group ? Is there another one coming up ?

Great video..but you look way to young to be in menopause.im 46 and i am in menopause now and its been a rollercoaster .thanks for the great information
I’m glad you enjoyed the information!
Bleep bleeep bleeeeep!!! Yep swearing under my breath! This is my life right now-feel like I’m going crazy -have no idea who’s body I’m living in these days 🤦♀️🤷♀️😩
I’m going through all your videos 😃. Trying to find your pod cast.
Great! The podcast is available on any podcast platform. Just search for The Female Health Solution.
Thank you. So far this video is the most informative and going to try to follow your advice and see if that leads me to a better and healthier place. For me at 57, I have gained 20… Luckily I was not too bad 5 years ago but now I am feeling very uncomfortable.
I am not hungry during the morning but by late afternoon I am starving, mostly for chocolate. But no matter what I eat until I eat my cravings are low but once I eat it’s like I need more food, mostly sugar. What I hate most is my doctor who was a man said to me that’s normal. Ug. I fired him and hired a female NP.
I think a nice video would be for your viewers to comment if they’ve found success with your suggestions. Here you say 120 grams protein daily. I have Body Fortress which I bought as it also has all the Amino Acids. I still need advice on what to mix it with and that’s confusing. One guy said mix with yogurt as protein needs sugar. Then I hear that’s wrong… It’s fricken frustrating… I’m going to mix with Greens and not yogurt…
So with that being said this is an older video for you but for me today is day 1 (Feb 29 2020). I will follow your directions and let you know in about 2 months (April 29 2020) below this comment on how it’s going…
You mentioned Menopause within the competitive/ athletes will be different than other women. I was competing when it hit. It’s been a year of all kinds of health issues and menopause issues. I would love for you to do a video of this issue. There is a huge group of 35-60 women competing out there. I can’t be the only one who crashed and burned and could not continue competing.
