Focus on Whole Foods, Not Processed Junk
Perimenopause can make losing weight more difficult, mainly due to changes in hormones and how the body deals with insulin. Insulin is a hormone that manages blood sugar levels; when it’s very high, the body tends to keep fat. The best method to control insulin is not eating processed foods, sweet snacks, and refined carbs like white bread and pasta. Instead, eat whole and natural foods that provide your body with needed nutrients without causing blood sugar levels to rise quickly.
Protein Helps Keep You Strong and Full
Protein is important in perimenopause time because it helps keep muscles, which start to get less strong as you age. Eating enough protein also makes you feel full for a longer time, so it is easier to not eat too much. Very good sources of protein are grass-fed meat,free-range eggs, wild-caught fish, and high-quality dairy.
Healthy Fats Support Hormones
Many women have fear of eating fat, but correct types of fat can help with losing weight. Good fats like in avocados, olive oil, nuts, and fatty fish help balance hormones and lower inflammation. This makes it easier to lose extra weight.
Load Up on Non-Starchy Vegetables
Vegetables with little starch, like leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, and peppers have lots of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The fiber helps your digestion system work well and is good for the health of your stomach area. It makes you feel full but does not give extra calories.
How I Know This Works?
I have spent many years learning about nutrition science, helping normal people and best athletes. I observe directly that low-carb, whole-food diets are good for losing weight, increasing energy, and better health, especially in perimenopause time. My approach is based on real science, real experience, and real results.
By picking correct foods, like full proteins, good fats, and vegetables with lots of fiber—you can control your weight more simply during perimenopause time and feel better daily in your body.
