‘Don’t accept ageing!’ Nutritionist shares real reason menopausal women put on weight

In terms of diet, Pippa advised against strict calorie counting, rapid weight loss diets, and cutting out food groups. 

“As soon as people start thinking calories, I think that’s where people are not focusing on the nutrition in the food,” she said. 

“So I’m not saying calories don’t count, I’m not saying that, portion control is super important. 

“But really what I would want people to be thinking about is trying to just get out the chips and the biscuits and think about the nutrition in your food, think about protein, thinking about ‘is half your plate filled with vegetables?’ 

“If you become bogged down with calories, that’s when people start thinking ‘I’ll do SlimFast or Cambridge Diet’, whether it’s a keto or fasting or under 1,000 calories, that is focusing too much on a thing that people are doing.
