Weight Gain Without Lifestyle Changes
Decoding Perimenopausal
What does it feel like?
Unexplained increases in body weight, particularly around the abdomen, despite consistent eating and exercise habits.
Declining estrogen affects metabolism, fat distribution, and muscle mass. Stress-related cortisol increases can also lead to weight gain.
Why does this happen during perimenopause?
How can you manage or sooth this symptom?
Incorporate strength training to maintain muscle mass, focus on portion control, and consider intermittent fasting or low-carb diets. Managing stress with mindfulness or yoga can also prevent cortisol spikes.
