Before menopause I could eat anything I wanted without gaining weight, but after menopause I put on 15 pounds even though I hadnt changed my eating or exercise habits.

What should I eat for menopause?
Thats a question weve heard many times over the years, mostly as part of a conversation that typically begins with weight concerns. Between the two of us, we have many decades of experience helping people navigate weight issues, but to be honest, prior to experiencing menopause ourselves, we couldnt fully relate to the specific challenges this stage of life presents.
Though we understood that womens bodies change with declining estrogen levels and aging, we may have been somewhat skeptical when listening to women describe how their usual eating and exercise routines were no longer working. Now that were both past menopause, however, these womens stories resonate with usand how! Just like the women who have gone before us, weve gained some belly fat, fended off hot flashes, and dreamed about getting a good nights sleep again. Our own adjustments to menopause led to our search for the best diet and lifestyle habits for midlife, and beyond. Thats how we came up with the Menopause Diet Plan (MDP).
Were firm believers that its possible to stay fit and healthy despite your changing hormones by prioritizing time for self-care, which includes enjoying nutritious food. While the MDP is about much more than what the scale reads, were glad women ask about weight because it opens up the menopause conversation. When our mothers went through the change, menopause was rarely a topic talked about much, even among women who were in the same boat. Thank goodness this is not your mothers menopause! We know a great deal more about womens health now, and the MDP takes full advantage of the scientific research on how nutrition and exercise influence physical health and emotional well-being.
Theres a lot of information out there about what to eat. However, very little of it is unique to the menopause transition, which often starts in the mid-40s and lasts into the 60s. In addition, food choices arent the whole story when it comes to menopause. There are several other issues to consider, and they are woven into the MDP, which is designed to prevent or manage health conditions that become more common during midlife, promote a better mood, limit hot flashes, and much more.
The foundation of the MDP includes five core principles:
Eat according to your body clock. Does this sound familiar? You skimp on food during the day and eat most of your calories at dinner and afterward, and you cant figure out why youre gaining weight and your energy is low. We are ruled by natural body rhythms that affect our health, and when you eat matters. Consistent food intake regulates your energy levels, heads off crabbiness, and helps prevent you from going overboard because you let yourself get too hungry.
Meal timing is one of the most important principles of the MDP. As you will see in the chapters ahead, managing meal timing is gaining ground for its role in weight control, regulating blood glucose levels, getting better sleep, and possibly lowering cancer risk.
Focus on plant foods. Plant-rich eating plans typically supply a balance of healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that help reduce blood pressure and LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), lower the risk of diabetes, and promote a healthy weight. Following a plant-based diet may be particularly beneficial for women before, during, and after menopause, in many ways.
Two of the most popular plant-based approaches to eating are the Mediterranean-style diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet. Both plans regularly top international lists of the worlds healthiest diets for their recommendations to eat more fruits and vegetables than the average American consumes, opt for whole grains most of the time, and include plant proteins like nuts, seeds, and legumes more often. Both styles of eating strongly encourage limiting added sugars and refined carbohydrates, but neither forbids them.
