Weight management can be a challenge at the best of times, but a hormonal decline during menopause tends to make fat loss more difficult.
Fortunately, thin people have been able to successfully shed pounds after menopause with the help of simple dietary adjustments.
Tamara, a 64-year-old health enthusiast, recently detailed the meal plan that helped her shed the pounds she piled on during menopause.
Today I’m going to show you what I eat in a day to stay slim at 64, she told her followers. Although I was never significantly overweight, I did go through a few years between the ages of 45 and 55 where I carried an extra 10 or 15 pounds into menopause.

The secret, according to Tamara, is not to focus on losing weight, but to prioritize staying healthy.
“By focusing on eating for health and energy, I managed to lose those pounds without any dieting and have managed to keep [my weight] almost for the last 10 years,” she said.
I don’t follow a specific diet, I’m not a vegetarian, I’m not a carnivore, I don’t count calories and carbs.
“I eat mostly plant-based and aim to include a variety of protein, plants and healthy fats throughout the day. Of course, I try to minimize sugar, but I do indulge in dark chocolate regularly.
“My weight seems to stay the same whether I’m exercising or not, so I think my weight maintenance is mostly down to what I eat.”
BREAKFAST
Tamara starts her day with a bowl of quick oats packed with superfoods like ground flaxseeds and walnuts to target her cholesterol.
Packed with fiber and a variety of nutrients, oats are an excellent choice for weight loss thanks to their satiating effect.
afternoon
For lunch, Tamara likes to eat chicken sausages for their protein and a side of sauerkraut for its antioxidants and fiber.
