Intermittent fasting is the best way for women to lose weight after menopause. Truth: For many women, it does the opposite. After menopause, your body is more sensitive to stress. Long fasting windows can raise cortisol, signal scarcity, and push your body into protection mode—especially around the belly. If you’re eating less but holding onto weight… If you feel wired, tired, anxious, or stuck… That’s not failure. That’s feedback. Post-menopause, your body doesn’t want punishment. It wants safety, nourishment, and consistency. Gentle rhythms beat extreme rules. Balanced meals beat long fasts. Listening beats forcing. This season isn’t about shrinking yourself. It’s about learning how to care for a wiser body.

Before cutting carbs or adding workouts, ask yourself: - How’s your sleep? - How often do you feel rushed? - Are you “on” all day? - Do you feel safe in your body? Your belly is often protecting you — not betraying you. Calm comes before change.
