Synopsis

Minimize the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause naturally through a sustainable, enjoyable eating plan, physical activity, and other beneficial lifestyle habits

“My friends and well-respected colleagues have written The Menopause Diet Plan to help you feel healthier, happier, and more confident during this change in your life.”—Maye Musk, MS, RDN, and author of A Woman Makes a Plan

Menopause is uncharted territory for women, and it can be difficult to know how to ease the effects of hormonal changes that can often start in your 40s. With honesty and optimism, The Menopause Diet Plan encourages a positive, fad-free approach to managing your physical and emotional health during perimenopause and menopause. It highlights current scientific knowledge about the best diet and lifestyle choices to manage your weight; keep your heart, brain, and bones healthy; and decrease the risk for cancer and other chronic conditions. It also offers natural strategies to help diminish hot flashes, manage sleep difficulties and mood swings, improve energy, and more.

The Menopause Diet Plan takes a unique approach to eating before, during, and after menopause. Registered dietitians Hillary Wright and Elizabeth Ward provide a customizable, plant-based eating plan that is rich in protein, fiber, and other beneficial nutrients, moderate in carbohydrates, and low in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. Balancing evidence-based advice with real-life circumstances and personal experience, it combines the best of the world's healthiest diets with the latest nutrition research for women in the menopause transition. Recipes such as Peanut Butter Smoothie, Chicken Italiano, and Chocolate Oatmeal Energy Balls make it easier to eat delicious, satisfying foods that nourish your body.

With a comprehensive approach to better health, The Menopause Diet Plan helps women take charge of their well-being and live life to the fullest.

This audiobook includes a PDF of recipes and menus.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Alicia on April 29, 2020

This was a big bust for me. The authors say again and again that their diet plan is based on a combination of the DASH diet and the Mediterranean diet, and they call it "plant based" repeatedly, but the actual diet plan at the end (which is a very short section of the book) is very much traditional......more

Goodreads review by Beth on September 11, 2020

This guide is sensibly and reliably written by two postmenopausal woman dieticians. The authors explain medical information in a clear way and guidelines to how food choices, exercise, and other factors can help with uncomfortable and sometimes health-damaging effects of perimenopause and menopause.......more

Goodreads review by Amy on July 10, 2022

The beginning of the book feels like filler. There was a lot of information which I suppose was useful, but was clinical and not the burning question I wanted answered.

Goodreads review by Sherri on October 16, 2020

This is a non nonsense, real-life approach to weight loss for women 40ish plus. There is a lot of valuable information on a topic that is not talked about nearly enough. In a world full of misinformation and people trying to sell the magic weight loss pill, I for one truly appreciate this practical......more

Goodreads review by Laney on June 03, 2020

I was actually really surprised by how much i reference this book. Half of the book is all theory and background behind menopause and what your body needs. The other half is all an eating plan. I already follow a low carb plan but this really helped give me ideas to follow a more concise plan. There......more
