"I know what to do, I just need to do it." ...

It’s that time of year again when people take meaningful stock of their lives and the year that they have just endured. Many are ready to turn a new leaf after thoughtful reflection and repose; invariably, their health, once again, becomes a priority. For many, that means their weight. Most know which foods are health promoting and which ones are not, yet struggle to eat the former and eschew the latter while nonchalantly saying, “I know what to do…I just need to do it.”

Menopause and Weight Gain

It has become commonplace for women to place the blame for their increased weight squarely on the shoulders of menopause. In doing so, they rely not on the stack of peer-reviewed publications concluding otherwise, but on their unwillingness to outwardly recognize that they entered perimenopause overweight or obese.They have become more sedentary (or continue to do the same level of fitness activity that they have done for years), or simply — and more often than not — consume more calories than their body now requires. Many feel as though they have no chance to lose weight because they are ‘in menopause’. This is simply not true.
