    Hi! I am 50 and just starting to see signs of menopause. Hopefully, I can learn a bit for you about what is to come. Good luck on your journey!

    Hi... my name is Angie and I received confirmation that I'm going through Menopause about a year ago.But even before hitting menopause, I had already started experiencing the weight gain, night sweats, etc while in premenopause. Up until that time I was somewhat healthy and in good shape. I am hoping that with the combination of fasting and the assistance of the My Fitness Pal, I will be able to see some results.

    I have tried the good, bad and ugly during menopause to feel better, lose weight, gain muscle, etc.
    Intermittent fasting, HIIT, massive amounts of cardio — being “driven” no longer works for me.
    I now focus on eating whole foods including fruits and veggies, whole grains, nuts and seeds, some dairy. I recently added back eggs and seafood after being plant based for 6 months and I’m happy with that. I rarely drink alcohol or have added sugar any more, as those really increase hot flashes, night sweats and anxiety - along with weight gain.
    I do some sort of movement daily — yoga, Qigong, dance, rebounder, walk, strength training.
    I try to meditate daily, remember to breathe, see a pelvic health PT.
    This less is more approach is working for fat loss, muscle gain, peace of mind, and better health.
