      Keto Diet for Women over 50 - Gwenda Flores

      Introduction

      Weight loss during and after menopause seems to be an impossible task. Hormonal changes, stress and the natural aging process really fight you. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to lose weight at this stage in your life. Why does menopause inhibit weight loss? Menopause officially begins when a woman does not have a 12 month menstrual cycle. Losing weight can be very difficult so far.

      In fact, many women show that they gain weight before menopause (which can begin up to a decade before the menopause phase). Several factors play a key role in gaining weight during menopause, including:

      ●  Hormonal changes: high and very low estrogen levels can cause an increase in fat storage.

      ●  Muscle loss: this is due to age, hormonal changes and reduced physical activity.

      ●  Sleep deprivation: many women suffer from menopausal sleep disorders, and sleep deprivation is associated with weight gain.

      ●  Increased Insulin Resistance: women of this age often have insulin resistance, making it difficult to lose weight.

      In addition, fat moves from the hips and legs to the stomach during menopause, increasing the risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. For all these reasons, a waist reduction strategy is very important at this stage of a woman's life. Low calorie diets don't work during menopause, calorie deficits are needed to lose weight.

      During and after menopause, energy consumption at rest or the number of calories consumed by women at rest decreases. Although women are tempted to try a low-calorie diet to lose weight quickly, this is one of the worst things they can do. Studies show that reducing too many calories can cause loss of muscle tone and a decrease in metabolic rate. Even if a very low-calorie diet can cause weight loss in a short time, its effect on your muscle mass and on metabolism, can make it difficult to lose weight permanently. In addition, lack of calories and reduction in muscle mass can reduce bone strength, and that increases the risk of osteoporosis.

      Research also suggests that a restricted diet, like paying more attention to portions rather than cutting calories drastically, can be beneficial for weight loss. Adopting a healthy lifestyle that you can maintain in the long term can help you maintain your metabolic rate and reduce the muscle mass you lose with advancing age.

      ––––––––

      The best diet in menopause

      Diets that have been proven to work well during the transition and menopause are low-carb diets. Some research shows that a low carbohydrate diet is very good for weight loss and also for reducing belly fat. Although women are included in several studies of low-carb diets before and after menopause, there are only a few studies that have been carried out exclusively with this population group.

      In one of these studies, post-menopausal women on a low-carb diet lost 9.5 kg (20.95 pounds), 7% body fat and a waist circumference of 9.4 cm in 6 months. In addition, carbohydrate intake for weight loss is not necessarily very low. As important as reducing menopause, it is important for you to make dietary changes that you can maintain in the long run. It is always a good idea to focus on health, not the number of pounds lost. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help you look and feel better during and after menopause.

      Chapter 1. Why you gain weight in menopause

      Metabolism is also influenced by the breakdown of specific menopausal hormones. The main effects are increased fat mass, loss of elasticity and muscle tone and increased water retention. Menopause alone does not always affect a healthy weight, but very often gain weight, especially in the stomach, can become a reality if we include lack of exercise and an unbalanced diet.

      Menopausal fat accumulation can be normal, but why does it happen? And what can you do to stay fit and especially in good health? If you are already afraid of balance and worry about the image that the mirror gives you, don't worry and read this chapter. Why do you gain weight in menopause? The main reasons are:

      ●  Hormonal changes;

      ●  Slowing down of the basal metabolic rate;

      ●  Reduction of lean muscle mass (in favor of fat);

      ●  Change in body fat distribution;

      ●  Tendency to water retention.

      ––––––––

      So, let's start with clarity. Weight gain can occur during perimenopause, but also during menopause. Could we said, because not all women do it. Every woman is different and every menopause is different, so it's impossible to generalize. However, it is not the end of your childbearing age that makes you gain weight, but the decrease in hormone production, which is partly responsible for slowing your metabolism (which usually decreases for years).

      ––––––––

      Taking weight in menopause: the role of hormones

      Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels (truly physiological in this phase) affect metabolism, but can also affect thyroid function. In addition, there is a reduction in muscle mass that supports fat, scales (worth saying). Natural conditions that occur in all sexes and increase with age. It should be added that the distribution of changes in body fat during menopause: fat deposits such as swelling tend to persist mainly in the abdominal band (somewhat like in men). So, if you have struggled with fat in your hips and thighs all your life, worry about your waist now. This explains why even those who are always slim can find it difficult to get into their usual skirts.

      Does menopause make you fat? Menopause is not a direct cause of weight gain. In fact, not all women happen to gain kilos after the definitive interruption of the menstrual cycle. The first thing to do is a distinction between swelling or water retention and real weight gain (therefore of fat mass). The first can be determined by the changes in hormone levels and menstrual irregularities, typical in the years of perimenopause, but with the definitive term of fertile life you should gradually deflate. A woman spends a lot of energy managing her pregnancy and nursing her baby. For this reason, his body is richer in storing energy (fat) than humans. The distribution of fat is also different, and this fact determines that the waist / hip circumference ratio is less than 0.6 in women of normal weight.

      When reproductive function stops, women tend to lose the distribution of female fat to accommodate the distribution of male, which is characterized by a higher percentage of belly fat. Obesity is an important risk factor for many diseases and unfortunately is considered a terrible pandemic at this time. A reliable way to measure overweight is to calculate your body mass index. This increased from a value from 20 to 24.9 in normal subjects to a value from 25 to 29.9 in overweight subjects and exceeding the 30 kg / m2 threshold in obese subjects.

      Not all fat is biologically equal. Central obesity and the share of visceral fat are in fact the best metabolic risk indices. Calculation of the waist/hip ratio is a practical method for measuring the distribution of body fat: values ​​greater than 1.2 indicate a central distribution of fat which is found in android obesity. More precise data on the distribution of adipose tissue can be acquired by measuring electrical impedance and tissue densitometry.

      ––––––––

      Weight gain with age

      As we age the body weight grows and in women the trends of the growth curves do not undergo significant spikes during the menopause. In fact, in men in 3 regions out of 4 there are fewer overweight subjects at 60 years of age. However, considering that the onset of menopause is spread over a 10-year period, it can be understood why the weight growth curve of the female population does not register a striking influence.

      Menopause is a mandatory physiological state in women: sooner or later each woman will come to terms with this stage of life. It is a natural phase of life that should not be experienced as a disease. It manifests itself differently between women and women but at the base there is always a hormonal change: reduction of female estrogens in favor of male testosterone.

      This hormonal
