The menopause can be a frustrating and confusing time for women. With changes to hormones starting between the age of 40 and 50, usually, instigating a wave of symptoms such as anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes and irregular periods, it can have a big impact on your life.
And if those symptoms weren't enough, another pesky common repercussion of this condition is weight gain - especially around the abdomen, hips and thighs. And losing this excess baggage during the menopause can be a challenge. That being said, while there's no one menopause diet that works wonders for each and every woman who goes through it, two health experts have uncovered a well-researched magical method that "works well" before and after the menopause.
Elizabeth Ward and Hillary Wright are two registered dietitians who joined forces to write a book that guides women through the challenges of midlife - and what to eat during this time to ensure maximum happiness and health as well as minimising the symptoms of the perimenopause and menopause itself.
