[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 126781, member: 3388"] Although I haven't hit 50 yet, I am in menopause. And, I agree with the suggestions that Nomad has given you. Like Nomad, I exercise regularly - I like to run/jog when the weather is cooperative. During the winter months, I use the treadmill and elliptical faithfully. And, also like Nomad, I really don't enjoy weight training. However, I also believe weight training is necessary, especially once in menopause. I recently ordered some resistance bands on line and plan on using them twice weekly once I receive them. And, I also believe that healthy eating is absolutely necessary. I make sure I eat plenty of fruits and veggies daily, drink lots of water, and get enough fiber. Even on the days when I eat too much "junk", I still eat lots of fruits and veggies and drink lots of water. in my humble opinion, this is extremely important! I read that once we start taking in less calories, it is harder to get in enough protein. We need protein to maintain muscle mass. I don't remember how much protein we need daily. I think we need about half our body weight in grams of protein but I'm not really sure. For example, if this is correct, then a 125 lb. person would need about 62.5 grams of protein per day. I'm glad you started this thread. I'm also interested in what others have to say about metabolism after menopause. WFEN [/QUOTE]
