3 reasons why losing weight during menopause feels so hard and why understanding this can make it easier: 1️⃣ Lower estrogen makes it harder to build muscle. Less muscle = easier weight gain, especially around the belly. 2️⃣ Lower estrogen reduces leptin, your appetite-control hormone. Cravings go up, and managing hunger gets harder. 3️⃣ Reduced progesterone disrupts sleep. Poor sleep and night sweats increase fat storage and boost hunger hormones.
