On today's episode we discuss something that I commonly hear from women - why do we gain menopause belly fat when we're doing all the right things?

First, we discuss the hormone changes that lead to this.

I share with you a brief part of my story of what happened when I turned 50, despite doing "all the right things".

And lastly we discuss what to do instead.

I've also put together a free carb guide to help cut through the confusion for you on how to eat carbs for fat loss in perimenopause and menopause.

Effective and lasting weight loss doesn't come down to the latest hack.

As someone who lost and gained the same 50 lbs over and over for years I can attest to this.

And as a Nutritionist who has helped countless other women over the past 20 years, I can share with you that this is consistent amongst other women.

It can seem especially tricky and frustrating as we enter into perimenopause and then menopause trying to lose the weight - because the things we used to do in our 20's and 30's to lose weight may no longer be working.

If you are struggling to lose weight and especially with being able to keep the weight off, I invite you to really listen to this episode and I'd love to hear your comments on what resonated with you the most - and if anything surprised you.

This episode was inspired by all of the recipes I see online for making meals with cottage cheese and greek yogurt. They claim that because they're high protein and relatively low in calories that they're the perfect food.
