Weight loss and menopause

Those going through menopause may find it more challenging to lose weight. A 2019 study found that fat mass and body weight tend to increase during the menopause transition.

The study found that the women had an average fat mass increase from 1–1.7% per year of the transition, resulting in a 6% total gain in fat mass over the 3.5 year transition period. The average weight gain among the participants was 1.6 kilograms.

Females who aim to lose weight during menopause should ensure that they consume enough nutrients to support their bone health. Nutrients include:

vitamin D
calcium
vitamin K

Below are some approaches to achieving weight loss, including options for people with diabetes and those following a plant-based diet.

A 2017 systematic review investigated the effectiveness of weight loss interventions in men. The review found that the following strategies were the most effective at promoting weight loss:

a calorie-restricted diet
physical activity advice
an activity and behavior-change program

However, while this review looked specifically at strategies for males, these approaches work for females too.

The review also notes that participants preferred face-based language and personal feedback. People who prefer this type of help and advice may benefit from using apps such as My Fitness Pal or receiving help from a personal trainer

Weight loss for vegetarians and vegans

When looking to lose weight, vegetarians and vegans should include whole foods and limit refined carbohydrates and processed foods. People should pay particular attention to packaging labels when purchasing meat alternatives, as many of these products contain added sugar and fat.

People who eat a plant-based diet will also need to ensure that their meals contain enough protein. Some good sources of plant protein include:

soy
nuts
beans
whole grains

Overeating can cause weight gain so the amount of food eaten contributes to weight gain more than the type of food eaten," says Brooke Glazer, RDN, registered dietitian nutritionist and nutrition consultant for RSP Nutrition. "Be mindful of portion sizes and how your body feels while eating. Aim to stop eating when you feel satisfied and comfortably full, rather than eating beyond that point. Remind yourself that food isn't going anywhere and that you have unconditional permission to eat, so there's no need to overeat now because you can have more tomorrow

Always aim for five serves of vegetables a day, whether fresh, frozen or tinned: fruit and vegetables have high nutritional quality and low energy density. Eating the recommended amount produces health benefits, including reduction in the risk of cancer and coronary heart disease

Keep to a meal routine: eat at roughly the same times each day. People who succeed at long term weight loss tend to have a regular meal rhythm (avoidance of snacking and nibbling). A consistent diet regimen across the week and year also predicts subsequent long-term weight loss maintenance

Regular exercise contributes to good health, and it is especially important if a person is trying to reach or maintain a moderate weight.

Typically, weight loss occurs when people increase physical activity and reduce the number of calories that they consume. Together, these changes can create a calorie deficit.

The amount of exercise necessary to lose weight will vary depending on people’s weight loss goals, as well as the type and intensity of exercise. Without adjusting their diet and reducing their calorie intake, people will require more physical exercise to lose weight.

No single type of exercise is best for weight loss. Some are generally more effective than others, but these will vary among individuals.

Worst time to weigh

Although first thing in the morning, after urination, may be the best time to measure weight, there is no single worst time. However, a person may wish to avoid stepping on the scales after certain activities that can throw off the measured weight. Examples include:

immediately or closely after a large meal
after drinking a large amount of liquid
following a workout or physical activity

A person should also avoid weighing themselves on the days before their period. During the week leading up to menstruation, hormones cause fluctuations in weight. These fluctuations can temporarily affect weight measurements.

The exact time that a person weighs themselves each day is less important than the consistency. To track weight loss or weight gain, people should always weigh themselves at roughly the same time of the day.

Weight can fluctuate throughout the day. A person will get a less accurate measurement of progress if they use the scale at different times on different days.

One of the best times for people to weigh themselves is in the morning, following urination. The reasons for this include:

exercise or other physical activity will not affect the number
it has likely been many hours since the last meal or snack
it can become a part of a person’s morning routine

Consistency is key. If first thing in the morning does not work for a person, they should pick a more suitable time of the day and stick to it.

The researchers found that, despite having a consistent calorie intake and activity level, the timing of food intake had a significant effect on how much fat the participants burned.

When the participants ate a late night snack, they broke down less fat than when they consumed the same number of calories at breakfast.

In other words, the 10:00 p.m. snack delayed the body’s ability to break down fat, causing it to break down carbohydrates instead. On average, the participants who ate breakfast burned 15 grams more of lipid over 24 hours than those who ate the late night snack. Over time, this could lead to significant fat accumulation.
