@drshirinlakhani: If you are eating as usual and exercising more but still seeing your waistline expand, you are likely experiencing what we call the menopause middle. This is not a lack of willpower; it is a shift in biology. As oestrogen drops, your body becomes more insulin sensitive, meaning you store visceral fat around the abdomen more easily. Simply eating less often backfires because it spikes cortisol, which signals the body to hold onto fat even tighter. To manage menopause weight gain, we must focus on blood sugar stability, muscle preservation, and hormonal balance rather than just the scales. #drshirin #women #health #waistline #menobelly
