Book description
WALL STREET JOURNAL AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER - A patient-proven eating and lifestyle program to balance nutrition, help manage middle age weight "creep," and reduce uncomfortable symptoms during menopause and perimenopause--including more than 40 delicious recipes and 6 weeks of meal plans--tailored to women in midlife. "The validation of common hormonal symptoms and commiseration with weight gain challenges, especially from a physician with similar struggles, is likely a rare and comforting experience for many women."--Forbes Health Why is the scale moving in the wrong direction even though I haven't changed my diet or exercise habits? Time and again, this is the question Dr. Mary Claire Haver's patients asked. At first, a practicing OB/GYN, she'd dutifully advise what she'd been taught in medical school: eat less and work out more. But that standard advice didn't solve the problems caused by perimenopause and menopause because back then she--and so many other doctors--hadn't taken into account the physiological factors affecting women. They tend to store fat, they can have a hard time accessing that stored fat as active fuel, and their hormonal fluctuations in midlife exacerbate the situation. Then, Dr. Haver found herself in this exact predicament with the added issues of low energy, hot flashes, and brain fog. So she set out to develop a nutrition program that would meet her own and her patients' needs once and for all. Now, more than 100,000 women have found success in Dr. Haver's unique plan for losing dangerous belly fat and reducing menopausal symptoms by following her three interconnected strategies: - Fuel Refocus: Starting in their thirties, women need a specific ratio of healthy fats, lean protein, and quality carbohydrates to optimize their overall health and efficiently burn fat as fuel.- Intermittent Fasting: 16 hours of fasting with a flexible 8-hour eating window coaxes the body to draw energy from stored fat and decreases inflammation.- Anti-inflammatory Nutrition: Limit added sugars, processed carbs, chemical additives and preservatives and layer in anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens, olive oil, berries, nuts, and tomatoes. With these three principles working together, women can lose the weight they tend to gain in middle age as well as enjoy newfound energy, better sleep, less brain fog, and fewer hot flashes. Featuring forty delicious recipes, six weeks of easy-to-follow meal plans, shopping lists, and success stories of women who have changed their lives on this lifestyle plan, The Galveston Diet--named for Dr. Haver's hometown--will revolutionize the conversation around health and empowerment during menopause and perimenopause, with health benefits that last a lifetime.
