The menopause is one of the biggest changes that any woman will go through in her lifetime.

What worked when you were 20 WON’T work now.
As we age, our metabolisms slow down, meaning that it becomes harder and harder to burn calories without further physical exercise and so we can’t eat as much as we used to without seeing the consequences!
However, calorie burning certainly isn’t the whole story and there are other reasons you could be gaining weight.
For example, around the menopause, your body will struggle to tolerate carbohydrates as effectively as it once did and so foods such as rice, bread, potatoes etc become even easier to overeat and a lead cause of weight gain.
To combat this, focus on a lower carb eating plan and shift your attention towards cruciferous vegetables, fibrous foods and healthy sources of protein, you will find the impacts of this will dramatically decrease.
Essentially, whilst it is easy to overeat those tasty carbs… No one ever really overate broccoli!
To help you get yourself started, here are a few examples of some great breakfasts you can try NOW!
