Rumor has it… 🤫
There’s a lot of chatter in the industry lately, some of which is true and some of which is completely false!
To put those rumors to bed, here are 5 common myths about menopause you should definitely ignore:
✨ Myth #1: You’ll only lose weight on a 1200 calorie (or less) diet to lose weight.
Fact: Very low calorie diets are a thing of the past. These types of diets leave you hungry and hard to follow.
✨ Myth #2: Carbs are the enemy.
Fact: Carbs are the body’s main energy source. They breakdown into glucose used by the brain.
✨ Myth #3: You should only eat Fat free foods.
Fact: Fat is a necessary macro nutrient. Fats are needed to help absorb vit A, D & E. Fat also helps with fullness.
✨ Myth #4: Cardio is all you need to lose weight.
Fact: As we age, our muscle mass decreases. Protein and Strength training help build muscle and results in stronger muscles that burn more calories and a smaller waist size. 😉
✨ Myth #5: Brain fog is here to stay.
Fact: In menopause, women do lose the neuro-protective effects of estrogen, but as our bodies adjust to decreased levels of hormones, so do our brains.
