Sugary Foods: By limiting your consumption of sugary foods, you can manage your weight gain symptoms and fight fatigue. When you have surpassed the age of 40, you should limit your sugar intake. This means you have to say NO! to doughnuts, cakes, chocolates and other sugary sweets. You should also avoid sugary drinks, like juice and soda. Just keep your focus more on fruits, veggies, and plain water.Refined Carbohydrates: Refined carbohydrates such as white bread, rice, pasta, and potatoes are high-carb foods that also contribute to weight gain, fatigue, and mood swings. Hence, if you want to avoid excessive weight gain, replace starchy-carb foods with high-fiber carbs like fruits and vegetables.Alcohol: As it was mentioned before, low levels of estrogen hormones slows down your body’s metabolism. Excessive consumption of alcohol worsens the situation because it slows down your body’s metabolism more than 70 percent. It also triggers weight gain and raises your cortisol levels (a stress hormone that ruins your sleep and contributes to night sweats and hot flashes). A glass of wine once in a while is fine, but a regular habit of two+ drinks a day can add calories to your diet and contribute to menopause symptoms.Processed Foods: Processed foods are causing worldwide weight gain. So whether you are going through menopause or not, they must be avoided. Processed foods are processed with chemicals and sugars that are devastating to our health. These foods are high in refined carbs and sugar – both which increase blood sugar levels, contributing toward fatigue, moodiness, and weight gain. Diets rich in processed foods may also deteriorate bone health. Processed foods are made to keep eating — you can eat more and more and you feel like you never get enough!
