Lots of information and ways to lose weight in menopause out there. Maybe you’ve tried different diets, exercise and even joined gyms. You’ve probably noticed that losing weight feels harder and your body doesn’t respond like it used to.
You’re not imagining it! Metabolism slows, hormones shift, and life only gets busier.
As a coach who has worked with plenty of women at this stage, I can tell you there is a way forward. In this guide, I will walk you through practical, no nonsense strategies to help you shift the weight, feel stronger, and get your energy back without crash diets or spending hours in the gym. Menopause might be a new chapter, but it can be a powerful one too.
Here’s one of the key guides to lose weight in menopause!
- Prioritise protein! As you know, it helps you feel full, supports muscle growth, and keeps your metabolism ticking. Aim for a palm-sized portion at least 2 to 3 times a day.
- Fill half your plate with colour! They keep your gut happy, your hormones balanced, and your appetite under control. Add fruit for natural sweetness instead of sugary snacks.
- Choose quality carbs! Whole grains and fibre-rich carbs give you steady energy and reduce cravings. Pick oats, brown rice, quinoa or whole grain bread. Avoid processed carbs and added sugars when you can.
- Include healthy fats! Good fats help your body absorb vitamins, support your brain, and keep hormones happy (super important during menopause!). Reminder, keep portions small.
- Don’t forget to hydrate! Thirst can feel like hunger. Before reaching for a snack, try a glass of water first. Aim for litres a day, more if you’re active.
Eating smart isn’t about restriction. It’s about balance, awareness, and quality. When you fuel your body properly, you’ll feel stronger, have more energy, and finally start seeing results that last.
