You may be experiencing weight gain during perimenopause if you are between the ages of 35 and 55. This is because your hormones are changing, causing fluctuations in metabolism and appetite regulation. You can use this guide to help determine what is leading to your increased weight gain, as well as how to combat it successfully. It's important not only for your health but also for avoiding menopausal weight gain that can lead to obesity or other health problems later on down the line.
This blog post is meant to inform readers about perimenopause weight gain and its causes so that they know why they might be gaining more than usual at this time of their lives, as well as how best to address it with successful results.
What is perimenopause?
Perimenopause, also known as the menopausal transition, refers to the period leading up to menopause. Some women will feel no symptoms at all during this time, while others may start experiencing some hot flashes and mood swings. The average age that a woman enters perimenopause is 45 years old. At this point they may still be producing eggs and capable of getting pregnant if they haven't gone through a surgical procedure or if their bodies still produce hormones naturally. Once a woman has reached 51 years old it's considered menopause and she likely won't experience any more menstrual cycles unless there are complications such as birth control failure.
To determine whether you are going through menopause weight gain, you need to determine if your symptoms are being caused by perimenopause. Symptoms that occur around the same time as major hormonal changes such as hot flashes or erratic periods should be noted and treated accordingly. In addition, it's important to track other changes in your body during this time which may also contribute to your overall health and can affect weight gain. Some of these include:
What affects a woman's metabolism?
A majority of women will notice a change in their basal metabolic rate (BMR) before they experience any symptoms of sleep disruption due to night sweats or irregular sleep cycles. This might be because of a slowing down of their body's metabolism over time that causes it to gradually reduce the number of calories that it burns each day. Reductions in BMR can sometimes be due to:
Menopause weight gain and its relation to aging
Menopause weight gain and its relation to agingAs we age, our body composition changes. We start building up more fat around our waistlines and we make less muscle mass as we get older. This is often due to a reduction in physical activity or a loss of lean muscle tissue due to high amounts of stress for prolonged periods. Fortunately, women who remain active experience less fat accumulation overall than those who stay sedentary throughout their lives. This means that staying active and engaging in regular exercise will help you avoid menopausal weight gain until the very end stages of your life when it's unavoidable even you do your best not to gain weight.
At-Home Remedies for Perimenopause Weight Gain
It's important to work with a doctor you trust if you have any symptoms of perimenopause or if menopausal weight gain is a major concern. This is because there are a few things that can be done at home before going to a health professional for diagnosis and treatment that may help you avoid feeling bloated, gaining more weight than usual, or experiencing mood swings. These methods may also be used in tandem with other strategies from your holistic doctor if they're available:
To reduce the amount of water retention due to hormonal changes during this time try drinking lots of water each day. In addition, make sure that you aren't consuming too much salt and try to increase the amount of potassium that you eat. A lack of potassium in your diet can reduce hydration levels which means that drinking more water won't help with bloating and weight gain. Eat plenty of fruit such as bananas, oranges, lemons, and grapefruits to add more potassium into your daily diet without adding too many extra calories or fat grams.
For those who haven't been eating enough vegetables, now is a good time to start including them in your regular meals again because they contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals like iron (which helps you absorb oxygen), calcium (which helps build strong bones and teeth), vitamin C (which is an antioxidant that repairs damaged cells) and B-vitamins (which helps the body break down food and turn it into energy).
Also, be sure to avoid foods that contain trans fats or go easy on those that contain saturated fats. These types of food will cause you to gain weight and increase your risk for heart disease and stroke as you get older.
Another tip is to try adding probiotics into your diet to improve digestion. Most people don't eat enough fermented foods which means that their digestive system isn't working at its full capacity when it comes to breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats in their meals each day. When this happens, there's often an overproduction of gas in the stomach which can lead to bloating because the air can't escape properly through burping or flatulence. Some great fermented foods that you can eat regularly include sauerkraut, miso, pickles, and kimchi.
If your appetite is out of control try eating a little bit of protein at each meal to reduce cravings for carbohydrates. In addition, be sure to get plenty of rest so that you aren't overdoing it when it comes to daily activities or work.

Very helpful videos. I haven’t had a. In the last 4 years I still don’t have hot flashes who playing it won’t get any worse I gained a lot of belly fat from inflammation from a dental injury because of nerve damage
But last few months it feels like I’m stranded like weird cramping like you’re going to start it. It’s really strange
This video is depressing but it is what it is. Thanks for the tips!
CarringtonTarot there’s hope. Menopause has been a great adventure for me. Kind of being pregnant except this time I’m birthing a new me.
I know : Menopause stinks 🙁
CarringtonTarot – OMGOSH… I’m SO DEPRESSED NOW! –
I wish I had watched videos like this, before I went through menopause. Learned the hard way, after I gained 20 pounds. Luckily I managed to lose most of it since last August.
Great selling..
Thanks for this science based and easy to understand advice! Get up early and exercise! So simple. I feel motivated to try this.
Yes, exercise is the key!
NOTES:
1) Get up early & exercise.
Sleep early. Balances hormones.
2) Eat like your ancestors. Eat meat, low carb low insulin resistant diet. Paleo diet.
3) Support your hypothalamus. Balance your hormones.
Thank you Deborah! Great tips & info.
Christine Carlos you’re very welcome
Get up early 😳ugh I can’t get enough 😴sleep I’m 58 in full menopause since 52 my work schedule vary 5 to 1, 6 to 2, or 7 to 3
Shift work is hard on any body but especially a woman in menopause
I’ve been menopausal since I was 32 , I’m almost 50…
Jay Cobbina so your hypothalamus has been challenged for a long time – if you support it nutritionally it can recover
I haven’t has my period for 1 year now. I have always eaten clean. Whole foods. The weight keeps packing on no matter what I do. I recently started walking 3 miles 4 times a week. I am so upset. I worked hard in 2016 to drop 50 lbs and going through menopause I can’t keep the weight off. I dont know what to do
Lisa Delgado, it’s so hard as we age. The loss of estrogen which regulates our metabolism slowly lowers. Our ovaries no longer make estrogen and instead our adrenal glands that sit on top of our kidneys take over making estrogen. It’s such a fine balance. I know women who add estrogen only to gain even more weight. The weight usually goes to our tummy area. It’s so frustrating. I’m 56 and was thin my whole life. Then perimenopause hit, and I put on 30 pounds so fast. If you’ve got broken sleep that can add to weight gain as well. I really miss my old self. I totally understand your frustration. I’m still trying to lose the weight with low carbs and intermittent fasting. I’ve lost some.
Menopause disrupts your metabolism by dysregulating your hypothalamus. Exercise and low carb diet helps Supporting your Hypothalamus is key to resetting your weight set point, especially after menopause
Thank you very much for this video! I greatly needed this. Question: on the one to two carb days, am I allowed two servings of carbs for those days or just one?
Jay Stall start with one serving per day. If your weight stabilizes, you can increase to two serving per day, preferably before dark
@Deborah Maragopoulos FNP thank you very much 😊
But my hormones wake me up for several hours during the night?
TheDeemc it’s low hormone levels arhat disrupt your hypothalamus which interferes with your sleep
