There are many things that you're not going to like about menopause. You're not going to like the hot flashes. You're not going to like the change in your libido. You're not going to like the mood swings. But for many women, the most frustrating part of menopause is the weight gain.

Secondly, menopause weight gain is primarily in the belly which is an area of weight concern for many women. And third, it's frustrating to eat and exercise right and still see weight gain.

A new book recommends a specific high-fat (but the right fat) diet that can flatten that belly despite the hormonal changes. It's not guaranteed but it might be worth a look. Learn more here.
