If your sweet tooth is sabotaging your diet or daily work-outs, take some advice from Dr. C.W. Randolph, the author of From Belly Fat to Belly Flat: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waist and Subtracting Years from Your Life — the Medically Proven Way to Reset Your Metabolism and Reshape Your Body. In his current newsletter, he suggests these snacks when you’re experiencing food cravings;
- Tangerine slices - Citrus fruits contain a substance called D-Limonene, which has been shown to promote the detoxification of extra estrogen.
-
A low-fat yogurt smoothie with 2 tablespons of flax seed – Flax seeds are part of a food group called lignans that reduce estrogenic activity at a cellular level.
- Carrots & Cukes – Toss slighty steamed carrots with sesame seeds and cucumbers and sprinkle with rice wine vinegar. The tart taste will help eliminate sugar cravings. Since carrots, cucumbers and seeds are all insoluble fibers, they help decrease your extra estrogen load by binding to the estrogen itself and moving it out of your body through the bowel.

Really interesting — I am going to try these. Thanks for the link to Dr. Randolph’s site, it looks interesting. Here’s another article about weight loss during menopause from the Women to Women site that I’ve found pretty helpful: http://www.womentowomen.com/nutritionandweightloss/naturalweightloss.aspx
