Weight Gain & Menopause

Simple 3 Step System For Losing Menopause Weight and Keeping It Off

When women experience menopause, they usually gain weight along the mid-section, down to the hips and thighs, giving them an apple-shaped body. And as much as they try to keep in shape by cutting down on calories and exercising regularly, nothing seemed to work. Menopause involves a lot of hormonal changes and imbalances and this triggers weight gain. Add to that the considerably slowing down of metabolism as you age, losing weight during and after menopause might prove to be a really big deal. Read on to learn more about menopause, losing weight and how you can apply it to your daily life.

Depression only gets worse if you see that you are just adding pounds to the scale and entering into what some call the menopause years. Menopause weight gain can make some women feel like they are becoming a new person. Losing weight is one of those things that you need to work hard for and learning the basics of weight gain and loss will be your first step. You need to know what triggers weight gain and you could probably counter it so that you will, instead, lose. It is well-known that hormones are the causes of the increased mid-section so you need to know them better.

Looking Lean Without Losing Weight

I am always "meaning" to lose weight, but seldom do I get around to actually following through with this task. Luckily, for people like myself, there are easy ways to fake a more slender appearance without strapping on your athletic wear and cutting carbs.

Facial Contouring 

Facial contouring is the method of using a concealer cream and/or bronzing powder, typically two shades darker than your skin color, to define certain areas of your face and neck. By sucking in your cheeks and applying the cream or powder to the indented area along the jaw line, you can create a subtle shadow that makes your cheekbones stand out. Contouring beneath the chin and throughout the length of your jaw line can create an illusion of an elongated face. Shading your temples on each side of your face can compliment the look, adding to an even narrower face. Not only will you look thinner than you really are, but the contouring also allows for a brighter complexion.

Layered Cuts with Highlights 

We all know horizontal stripes make you look wider and vertical stripes slim you, so why not apply this knowledge to your hair? Highlighting not only brightens your face, but it also elongates it, with vertical contrasting tones. Layered cuts, with the shortest layers beginning just below the chin are also best for rounder faces. Longer layers in the hair can offer volume and bounce, making the face appear smaller in comparison.
