Going through menopause, women will start to gain more fat around the waist instead of the hips and thighs. Complicating the matter is the fact that women gain fat easier...and have a harder time losing it when they reach the age of menopause. This is popularly known the "menopot". Hormonal shifts, sedentary living, and poor eating habits have been implicated as causes of the menopot. So to counter that, women will try hormone replacement therapy, low fat eating combined with calorie counting, and an increase in physical activity. And yet, the menopot still does not shrink. Out of frustration, most women will simply resign to the belief that regaining the youthful physique is impossible, and simply quit trying. Author Gregg Hoffman believes that women can lose the menopot. He believes that diet and exercise (coupled with stress reduction/management techniques) are the key to reverse the onset of the menopot, and regain the youthful figure you once had. Gregg does not subscribe to the typical diet and exercise suggestions of "moving more and eating less" for fat loss, or in this case "menopot" loss. He believes that we need to tell the body what to do...send a signal for it to respond. What is the signal? Simply to build muscle and use fat for fuel. This can be accomplished with the right kinds of foods without having to focus on calorie counting, and the right type of exercise to tell the body to build and maintain muscle. Surprisingly, it only takes three workouts a week lasting less than thirty minutes to reshape the body and lose the menopot. To prove his point, Gregg takes three post menopausal women through his diet and exercise program for three months to see if it can be done. The results remarkable. All of the women lost inches around the waist and markedly reshaped their bodies. This book details the journey the three women undertook to lose the menopot. He shows the workout routines, diets, and the challenges the women faced and how they overcame these obstacles. Furthermore, Gregg lays out in easy to understand concepts exactly how to eat and exercise for you to reach your goals too.
