Information
on Perimenopause Weight Gain, Diet and Thyroid.
Perimenopause is a time when
women often experience weight gain and find attempts to loss
perimenopause weight gain near futile. Women in perimenopause can
eat the same foods and exercise the same amount yet find it near
impossible to lose perimenopause weight gain.
Maintaining
status quo while the body changes is where the problem lies -
and where the answer to perimenopause
weight gain can be found.

Return to Eden Diosgenin (nicknamed Progesterone) Cream.
Do you remember our newsletter
last year detailing how Wyeth Pharmaceuticals was attempting to stop
compounding pharmacists from prescribing natural progesterone (diosgenin)
after their profits fell by more than 57% from $2.07 billion in 2003 to
$800 million in 2004 (after the WHI study had to be stopped)?
Well, now they have gone after
centers like ours making complaints to the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC). The FTC's position backed by the big pharmaceutical companies is
that Dr. John Lee, M.D.'s studies were not scientific and did not rise to
the standard of FDA and National Institutes of Health studies, and that
our claims about natural progesterone are false, unfair, deceptive,
misleading advertising in violation of the law..
(Please read
what Dr. Helen Pensanti M.D. has to say about this. Read on to how the study
was conducted.)
This is an attempt to force women into taking
unsafe proven cancer causing synthetic hormones using
your tax dollar to harass natural hormone suppliers. We here at the Women's
Menopause Health Center refuse to take away your choice of a healthy
alternative to Premarin, Prempro and the other dangerous drugs. We are
taking a stand against this heavy handed attempt to destroy competition. We
are going to fight for your choice of a healthy way to get through menopause
comfortably and safely.
(Ed. note: This was from our newsletter last year. The
continued harassment by the FTC has caused us to discontinue our wonderful
product. Do not be forced
into taking something that can kill you. You may purchase safe
progesterone cream at your local health food store, or find it a lot less
expensively on line at places like ebay and yahoo stores.
Do not let these heavy handed tactics destroy your health!)

The body’s metabolism naturally begins to slow
down with age. Perimenopause weight loss attempts - and stopping
additional weight gain during perimenopause and menopause - are near
impossible with a sluggish metabolism that has slowed to a crawl.
Women in perimenopause must incorporate ways to boost the metabolism
while making perimenopause diet and lifestyle changes if they want
to loss perimenopause weight gain.
Women typically gain weight during the
perimenopause and menopause years because of;
- Decreased activity compared to
younger days.
- A sluggish metabolism due to
decreased physical activity.
- Eating too much food or eating too
many processed foods.
- A poor diet history of pasta, breads,
processed and pre-packaged foods, fast foods, high-fat meats and
sugars.
- Thyroid dysfunctions, which can occur due
to hormone imbalance and estrogen dominance.
- To prevent perimenopause weight gain or loss
perimenopause weight gain, women must;
- Exercise more to build muscle mass,
boost the metabolism and burn calories.
- Eat less food than the body burns.
- Develop a healthy perimenopause
treatment regime free of synthetic chemicals that also includes a
high-quality progesterone cream.
- Know that they are not a victim to
perimenopause weight gain.
Physical activity is necessary to effectively
maintain a constant body weight with increasing age. Increasing
exercise is the best way to boost the metabolism, loss perimenopause
weight gain and produce a feeling of physical and emotional well
being for women in perimenopause.
Muscle burns more calories than fat and strong
muscles burn more calories than weak muscles. Weight bearing
exercise like walking and jogging are two excellent exercise choices
that cost little more than a good pair of shoes and comfortable
clothing. Women trying to loss perimenopause weight gain should
exercise at least 30 minutes, four to five times weekly.
A perimenopause diet regime is also especially
important at this time in a woman’s life, though women in
perimenopause should avoid starvation diets in an attempt to control
perimenopause weight gain. When caloric intake drops below about
1800 calories, the body believes it is starving, kicks into survival
mode and begins conserving fat – the exact opposite goal of a
perimenopause diet.
Instead, a perimenopause diet that focuses on
food modifications works best. Trade sugar and caffeinated drinks
for water. Instead of a processed lunch meat sandwich, opt for tuna
with a touch of brown mustard and low-fat salad dressing. Forget
pastas and potatoes and choose steamed vegetables instead. Choose a
salmon fillet over a hamburger, chicken breast over pork. The foods
you choose for your perimenopause diet are the foods you will choose
for life.
The perimenopause diet should include an
abundance of fresh vegetables, more lean proteins like fish and more
water. Carbohydrates like pastas, potatoes, sugars, breads and
sweets have almost no value in a perimenopause diet. Caffeine, and
its ugly cellulite side affect, has no value in the perimenopause
diet.
Medications like hormone replacement therapy
used to reduce menopause symptoms can also produce weight gain. A perimenopause treatment regime of
naturally occurring phytoestrogens, nutritional supplements,
specific homeopathic and herb combinations - like that found in
Vaxa’s Preserve and the Women’s Strategy Pack - is an excellent
choice. A high-quality progesterone cream like "Preserve" is
also an important component of a perimenopause weight loss regime.
Women in perimenopause should also not rule out
thyroid dysfunctions when trying to loss perimenopause weight gain.
Hormone imbalances and estrogen dominance can interfere with thyroid
functioning, which is why so many women begin to experience thyroid
problems and subsequent weight gain during their perimenopause
years. A high-quality progesterone cream like "Preserve"
encourages hormonal balance that can help with perimenopause weight
gain, along with many other perimenopause symptoms.

Women do not need to accept or tolerate
perimenopause weight gain as the natural course of aging. But to
loss perimenopause weight gain involves exercise, diet, lifestyle
and attitude changes. Some choices, like using a high-quality
progesterone cream to eliminate estrogen dominance and using natural
treatments for perimenopause, are relatively easy. Breaking a sweat
for 30 minutes four to five times weekly and passing on the foods
that the youthful body was more forgiving of might prove more
difficult. Yet, the rewards of a healthy and more slender body far
outweigh the effort.
