Product details

Web ID: 15733210

A patient-proven eating and lifestyle program to balance nutrition and sustain weight loss—including more than 40 delicious recipes and 6 weeks of meal plans—tailored to women in midlife."I haven't changed my diet or exercise habits and yet the scale keeps moving in the wrong direction. What's going on?!"Time and again, this is the question Dr. Mary Claire Haver's patients asked. At first, a practicing OB/GYN, she'd dutifully advise what she'd been taught in medical school: eat less and work out more. But that standard advice didn't solve the problem because back then she—and so many other doctors—hadn't taken into account the physiological factors affecting women. They tend to store fat, they can have a hard time accessing that stored fat as active fuel, and their hormonal fluctuations in midlife exacerbate the situation. Then, Dr. Haver found herself in this exact predicament with the added issues of low energy, hot flashes, and brain fog. So she set out to develop a nutrition program that would meet her own and her patients' needs once and for all.

Needed this!!

I’ve been following her for awhile now on various social media sites and was so excited to receive her book! Perimenopause and Menopause is real and so upsetting, confusing and exhausting for us women! I don’t know what I would’ve done without her advice and this amazing book! Ladies!!! Do not let doctors gaslight you or tell you it’s normal what you’re experiencing, go to menopause.org and find one who knows their stuff!

Not a diet book!

This book explains what all women go through but not very many people understand. Menopause, in all its stages, is a journey. The book educates and informs. Life changer!

A Nutritional Diet for Middle-Aged Women

Dr. Mary Claire Haver, an OB/Gyn, specializes in the problems of menopausal women specifically their nutritional needs. She developed the Galveston Diet based on her own problemss and has found that it helps many other women. The three prongs of the diet are: diet modification to include healthy fats, some lean protein, and good carbohydrates; intermittent fasting, basically eating in a six to eight hour window and fasting for sixteen to eighteen hours; and limiting sugar and processed foods. Dr. Claire provides food lists, and recipes to help achieve these goals. The book also contains scientific discussions to give you an understanding of why the diet works. Although technical, the discussions are clear and readable. I thought this was an excellent plan for women both pre- and post- menopause. I have been eating this way for years, including intermittent fasting and for me it works like a charm. I combine it with regular exercise, and it’s perfect to maintain my weight where I’m happy with it. I highly recommend this book.
