Weight Changes (Gain/Loss)
If you find you’re gaining or losing more than you’re comfortable with, there are things you can do to account for your changing metabolism and maintain a healthy weight.

As we age, our caloric needs change, and we may find ourselves putting on weight while eating the same diet and maintaining the same exercise regimen we’ve been on for years. The reality is, you’ve probably lost some muscle mass, and with it the higher metabolism that burns more calories faster.
Also, hormones dictate where extra weight lands, and in midlife it settles less on hips and thighs and more on the belly.
Losing weight may become more difficult. This tends to even out at achievement of full menopause, though losing the excess may be more difficult from here on.
A weight gain of 10-15 pounds during the menopause transition is typical and may actually be protective. So, if you find you’re gaining more than you’re comfortable with, there are things you can do to reenergize metabolism and maintain a healthy weight.
