Menopause weight loss: You may lose up to 20lb with diet that 'actually works'- food list

The programme focuses on three main areas to help balance women’s hormones in order to aid weight loss during the menopause.

Intermittent fasting

People following the diet must eat within a time window of eight hours per day, and then fast for the remaining 16 hours.

Anti-inflammatory nutrition

The Galveston diet encourages people to eat food with ingredients that won’t trigger more inflammation in their bodies.

It relies on foods loaded with natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory abilities, which can support the gut and help the body work “more effectively”.

Fuel refocus

The menopause can cause cravings for foods high in sugar, but the diet aims to shift people’s want for unhealthy foods to nutrient-dense sources of carbohydrates instead of sugar and processed carbs.
