While cupid makes love matches on Valentine’s day, weight gain and menopause should not be one of them. Forbidding certain foods – like Valentine’s chocolate or wine- is a common diet strategy, but studies have shown that this can actually lead to overeating.
Food restrictors often satiate their cravings by eating other high-calorie items, which can lead to weight gain at menopause. Learning how to effectively cope with trigger foods will leave you feeling in control and improves your chances of maintaining your menopause weight gain.
Instead of fearing your favorite foods, figure out how to budget a small portion into your week. Simply removing the “forbidden” label from a food can greatly reduce cravings for it!
