I have had tremendous success with helping women 45+ (peri-through post menopause) successfully lose weight following a balanced sustainable macronutrient plan based on controlled portions, macronutrient balance and evenly timed meals through out the day. You can purchase my most successful menu out-line here. It contains a 3-5 breakfasts, lunches, mini-meals, dinners and sweet snacks that are hormonally friendly for weight loss when estrogen levels are changing/changed and other digestional hormones react differently than at earlier stages of life.
