Weight Loss, Menopause and Hormones: Why It Can Feel Harder
Many women notice that weight management feels different in their 40s, 50s and beyond. The same habits that used to work may no longer have the same effect. Weight may sit more around the middle, cravings may increase, sleep may become disrupted and energy levels may feel less predictable.
For some women, this can feel frustrating and unfair. They may feel they are eating the same as before but gaining weight more easily, or finding it much harder to lose weight than they expected.
