Feel like you are doing everything right, but the stubborn bulge at your midsection won’t budge?
Maybe you’ve tried a bunch of different diets and instead of losing weight, you feel like you’re GAINING.
First and foremost, you’re not alone!! I have dealt with this exact issue which is extremely common among menopausal women.
As we age, our bodies stop producing estrogen and progesterone which manage cortisol levels.
Our cortisol levels increase, which makes our cells more insulin resistant - hence the ever increasing midsection.
This hormonal imbalance does not mean a life sentence of misery and never ending gains in your midsection…
Here are a few small changes that you can make in your daily routine to manage your hormones, feel better, and lose it in the middle:
Eat more Protein
- Protein helps build muscle mass and will help with insulin resistance.
Improve Sleep
- If you are not well rested, your body’s systems are not going to perform the way they should
Increase daily Movement
- Increasing your movement throughout the day will help to burn more calories, which will help with weight gain.
These are just a FEW ways to get you headed in the right direction.
