What you should know: You need to cut back on calories if you want to lose weight. However, a healthy hormone balance is much more crucial.
The main issue is that, in comparison to earlier years, there is a hormonal imbalance during the menopause. Insulin is a hormone that stores fat and helps to develop muscle. If you overproduce insulin, you probably won't shed fat even if you reach a calorie deficit and lose weight.
Anabolic fat is stored in the abdomen cavity as a result of the stress hormone cortisol and the hormone insulin. Even if you cut calories, you will still burn mostly muscle because of persistently increased cortisol levels.
And if you don't reduce your caloric intake, high levels of cortisol and insulin invariably result in fat storage, mostly in the abdomen. If you have had menopause, you will understand what I mean.
