Menopausal Weight Gain? Avoiding fats is the wrong approach to take

The topic of fats is just so confusing, isn’t it?

Fats have had a bad reputation, but eating the right sorts of fats is beneficial before, during and after the menopause – not just for weight control but for those common menopausal symptoms.

Weight gain is often seen as a normal consequence during and after the menopause. Whilst low oestrogen is considered to play a role, it does not directly cause weight gain. But it can lead to a different distribution of weight, with less weight carried in the lower parts of the body (such as the thighs and hips) and an increase in abdominal fat.

Women may try calorie reduction diets – that will always focus on low fat- or try to exercise more. This may lead to a temporary weight reduction, but the weight usually returns, and it may all seem like too much effort or a lost cause.
