Most people are worried about diets and weight loss. I never had that problem in fact I always was underweight. My anxiety and lack of time to eat (my fault of course) are the cause. I’m 38 and menopause is still a few year ahead but an article I read made me think about gaining a few pounds.
Although this is not a general rule, losing weight during menopause is a possibility. Due to the increase of the lose of bone mass, specially at the hip level, the weight might decrease, this is what says a Study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. The authors of this study mention that even with a hormonal therapy, women are not totally protected against weight lose. The lose of bone mass is also caused by the weight variation women go through when they enter menopause.
If for some a few less pounds is a good thing for others can be a serious problem.
