The #1 Reason Women Struggle With Weight Loss in Menopause, and How to Fix It in 5 Days

If you’ve been struggling to lose weight during menopause, you’re not alone, and I’m here to help. The #1 reason I see women hitting roadblocks is simple: they aren’t eating enough protein. Most women only eat 50–70 grams of protein a day, but by increasing this to the right target, you can:

• Feel less hungry throughout the day.
• Crush cravings and stop late-night snacking.
• Reduce bloating and shrink your belly.

That’s why I created my 5-Day Menopot Meltdown Challenge, starting January 20! This free challenge will teach you how to hit your protein goals with daily coaching and support from me. You’ll get:

• Access to a private Facebook group for accountability.
• Live check-in calls for real-time guidance.
• Recipes, grocery lists, and my Lazy Girl Cooking Guide to make it easy.

By the end of the challenge, you’ll feel in control of your eating, energized, and on your way to achieving your weight loss goals, without feeling hungry or deprived.

This is Mastering Menopause. By using fitness, nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset, you can master your hormones and get your body back. I'm Kathy Coté with Catalyst Fitness and Nutrition. Let's get into it. Welcome back to Mastering Menopause. I hope that you had an awesome weekend. Here we are, we're two weeks into the new year. Just check it in to see how you're doing, if you've set any goals for the year, how you're doing on creating those goals for yourself, and also how have the first two weeks been. I know for myself, I didn't really get started until January 6th, I took those first few days just to get clarity on what I wanted to do. So coming up with my word, which was intention. So that really did help with setting up those larger goals for myself. And then we did start the rapid fat loss on January 6th. And there have been amazing results, including my own as well. But I'm going to talk more about that. On Thursday's episode, because today I have opened up my free five day menopause meltdown challenge. We start next Monday. That's January 20th. And I really encourage you to take a look at that. If you just need some direction or need something to kickstart yourself. So the number one reason why women struggle with weight during menopause is because. They just aren't eating enough protein. And what I typically see is like 50 to 70 grams of protein a day, which is well below what your body needs. The reason why protein is so important is because it's essential for supporting fat loss. It's going to help with that belly fat, especially as you're going through menopause, it does help with balancing hormones. And it's also going to curb those cravings and keep you feeling full. longer. This is important if you have any kind of weight loss goal, but also any body composition goals. If you're trying to build muscle, then we want to make sure that you are having plenty of protein without protein. You're more likely to feel hungry. You're going to crave sugar or carbs, which aren't bad. We need carbs, but you might find yourself snacking late at night. And this is one I hear all the time. I eat really well during the day, but then I can't stop snacking at night. So this is definitely going to help with that situation. Once we focus on getting protein to where it needs to be, then this will help bring down that bloating. It's going to shrink that belly fat and get you out of that frustration with not seeing results. So that is why I created this challenge to make just this one simple change. Like literally, if you just make this one change, this is going to make all the difference to eliminating those cravings, that late night snacking and. I am very passionate about this. This is the basis for all of my programs. This is the basis for body recomposition. This is the basis for fat loss, especially if you are going through any of the stages of menopause. So with this challenge, you're going to get personalized coaching from me for five days for absolutely free. There is a private Facebook group. This is where we're going to be sharing all of our wins. There are going to be live checking calls with me to go over. What are we doing this day? An answer, whatever questions that you have to keep you motivated. And there's a ton of resources. I just spent all last week really beefing that up. I have done this challenge live two times now. So we did it last January and I have some, Great results from that round. And then I did it again in late August and have some great results to share from that round as well. But I have included more resources. There's a membership site where everything is laid out to you. I'm going to go over the guidelines with that. But I'm also going to give you, tips on how do we get that protein in some meal ideas, some practical strategies that's going to help you reach your target without the stress and the overwhelm. And that's really where I see women struggle in when they're trying to get in their protein goals is. Having that overwhelm. So we take that out of the picture. And as far as logging goes, you can log your protein however you want. I recommend my fitness pal. It's just recommended. It's not required. You can literally just put it on a piece of paper. You can use chat GPT to say, keep a running list of the protein that I've had today. So you know, there's definitely some easy ways to track that. The reason why this works is because At the end of the day, you're going to be less hungry. You're going to have fewer cravings. This is going to reduce your bloating. It's going to lead to a flatter belly and you're going to have increased energy. This is exactly what All the results that the past participants have gotten. This is the power of protein. And if you struggle with this area, then this would be a perfect way to jump in. We are just focusing on protein because it has such a huge impact on women as they're going through menopause. If you've ever wanted to work with me, this is the perfect opportunity. Over these five days, I'm going to be guiding you every step of the way to help you succeed. And this is the exact same strategy that I use with my private coaching clients. I will include the link with instructions to sign up. There's a ton of bonuses and you know what?
