Why can your weight change during menopause?
Losing weight during menopause can feel challenging. Hormonal changes can affect body fat distribution. Age, muscle mass, sleep, food, activity and medication may also play a part. A change on the scales therefore does not have one single cause. Discuss unexplained or rapid changes with your doctor.
Strength training and everyday movement
Strength training helps you work on strength and maintain muscle mass. Combine it with everyday activity you enjoy, such as walking or cycling. At bbb, we tailor the load to your starting point and build gradually. A hot cabin may feel comfortable, but heat or sweating does not guarantee extra fat loss.
Food, sleep and relaxation
Choose habits you can maintain: regular meals, sufficient protein, fibre-rich foods and attention to sleep and recovery. Avoid expecting one food to balance your hormones. Our coaching supports everyday choices; a dietitian is the appropriate professional for a medical diet or specific nutrition concerns. Discuss troublesome menopause symptoms with your doctor.
An approach that goes beyond weight loss
At bbb, we consider body, food & mind. More strength, a comfortable exercise routine and confidence in your body can be valuable goals, even when your weight changes little. Read about strength training during menopause. Together, we discuss what matters to you.
