Can you answer auntiee’s question about Menopause?:

I read an article today that said -premenopause out of 1000 calories, you would burn 700 and store 300. Postmenopause the opposite-burn 300 and store 700. I’m not going for numbers,but a basic idea of how different it is. Is this fairly accurate? Thanks for the help.

    Menopause Feedback: Look at how wide their butts get. It is believable to me.

    Menopause Feedback: I think it’s probably relative. I’m admittedly guessing - I’ve got about ten years to go before starting menopause. But I would think if you’ve exercised and eaten well your whole life, menopause wouldn’t have a huge effect on your metabolism. I know plenty of post-menopausal women who look just great.

    PS Here is an interesting article on CNN about this. Sounds like all is not lost!
