[quote=Anonymous]OP, after menopause it gets harder, insulin resistance increases when estrogen drops. Good to be on top of it as you are and start making changes now, not so much for appearance but for health. Increasing whole food protein to 30g+ per meal and decreasing carbs (esp sugar and alcohol) was helpful to me. I switched to eating 2 full meals a day w/o snacks instead of grazing. Work on retaining/adding muscle mass, it is very metabolically protective. Abdominal weight gain is a health risk for all the things associated with IR - NAFLD, diabetes, heart disease, mood disorders and Alzheimer's. The greater the muscle mass in the 50s, the lower the risk of dementia. I had been a runner but joined a gym and had a trainer set up a bodyweight routine for me to do at home. Adding muscle also strengthens bones, also important as we age. My goals are strength and flexibility and I have seen improvement with consistent efforts. [/quote]
