[quote=Anonymous]Ok I'll jump into this convo with my anecdotal experience. I'm 44 and starting to feel the various symptoms of perimenopause. I follow several health and fitness experts, including Dr. Mary Claire Haver who is a menopause health expert making waves in the medical community right now. Almost all of these experts recommend around .7-1g of protein per POUND of your ideal bodyweight. I realized for many years I was eating severely below that amount, instead avoiding animal protein and focusing on dark leafy greens and veggies. I started adding at least 30 grams of LEAN protein to almost every meal now for the 8 mos. to a year or so and I can tell you almost ALL my perimenopausal symptoms have significantly decreased, particularly the mood, fatigue and brain fog issues that were starting to affect my work and family life. I am very active and focus on strength training, I think you have to dial in the exercise half of the equation for this type of diet to be truly effective. I think the high protein "fad" actually has some legs to it, if you ask me.[/quote]
