Intermittent fasting supports weight loss, especially in postmenopausal women. However, if you do not lose weight as expected, you may be making some mistakes.
Not eating enough protein
Muscle loss occurs faster in middle age. Therefore, adequate protein supplementation is very important for women over 40 years old.
Menopausal women should supplement 20-30 grams of high-quality protein per meal to reduce cravings and control weight better.
Fasting too fast
Intermittent fasting is an effective weight loss method, but needs to be applied slowly.
Low-sugar intake
Not eating enough can lead to nutritional deficiencies and cause overeating or binge eating.
Not listening to your body
Not recognizing warning signs of over-eating, such as sleep problems and fatigue, can affect health. If you feel dizzy, exhausted, or your menstrual cycle becomes irregular, this is a sign your body needs to adjust your diet.
