Age, Not Hormones, May Be Cause of Weight Gain

36
vote
     
     
According to Kathleen Connelly, MSN Health & Fitness, weight gain during menopause may be attributed to aging, rather than a decline in hormones. As our body ages, we burn fewer calories. Fewer calories burned results in less lean muscle mass. Women who increased their physical activity and maintained a low fat, high carbohydrates regimen lost weight, compared to women who were not on the diet and exercise plan, as reported in research conducted by Barbara Sternfeld, a senior research scientist at Kaiser Permanente of Northern California.

Menopaused weight

At first, that was okay, because, well, let's just say my childhood nickname (that stuck through college) was "Bones."
