How to Control Weight in Menopause - Diet - 2007/05/11 00:24
Staying happy and eating healthy food are both important contributors to healthy weight. In addition:
Watch your fats. Fat contains twice the calories of other foods. Choose good quality vegetable fats and oils, and limit animal fats. Go easy on added fats, like mayo and cream. Reduce your intake of junk food. Increase your consumption of fiber. This aids digestion, promotes good health and helps reduce calorie-intake. Reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Alcohol is relatively high in calories (7 calories/gram) and both undermine your nutrition levels. Reduce your salt intake. High levels of salt (sodium) is linked to higher blood pressure, a contributor to heart disease.
