If you're finding weight loss in menopause to be a challenge, you're not alone. In fact, because of the way hormone levels impact our body and how they change in menopause, it's become a lot harder than it used to be. 

Traditionally when we want to lose weight, we're advised to follow a diet and reduce our calorie intake - whether we want to lose a stone in a month or aim for more sustainable weight loss. This may have worked in the past but in menopause, traditional dieting may not help you lose weight. It can actually have the opposite effect and cause you to hold onto it.
