| Combat Periodic Weight Gain |
- Avoid processed foods that are high in salts such as catsup, mustard, and salad dressings.
- Avoid fried and fatty foods.
- Avoid wheat and dairy products that can irritate allergies and increase bloating.
- Make sure you are regular, so that you eliminate body fluids and wastes that may be re-absorbed otherwise. If you have problems with constipation, include one to eight tablespoons of bran in your daily diet.
- For menopausal women, exercise is an absolute necessity for weight control and body tone. The endocrine glands change as the body ages, and digestion and metabolization of food becomes less efficient. Pounds that are difficult to loose, can accumulate rapidly as the body needs fewer daily calories.
If you change your eating habits to reflect your body's metabolic type, but still gain weight, it could be due to fluid retention (as is common with PMS). Here are some recommendations:
- Drink a mild diuretic tea (i.e. parsley and uva ursi).
- Eat foods high in potassium, such as cucumbers, melons, and bananas.
- Eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible.
- Refrain from using salt. Salt can increase fluid retention and bloating.
