How Do the Hormonal Changes of Menopause Affect Weight Gain?

Most people when they hit menopause they get that five or 10 pounds right here, it's really irritating, what happens is your estrogen gets unbalanced and so that causes some weight gain, and then the weight gain changes how much insulin you're making and that changes how much oestrogen you're making, and that changes how much inflammation is there, which then causes more weight gain, and it's just a vicious cycle.

So it really comes back down to not only doing any inflammatory abs and supplements to break the inflammation part of the cycle, eating a low glycemic index diet to help keep the insulin stable, doing whatever you need to do to bounce at the oestrogen, and then the weight sort of settles back down.
