Itās NOT true that metabolism slows down in your 40s⦠or even post-menopause.
The real cause? Not eating enough protein + not strength training = muscle loss. Thatās what slows your metabolism.
š As estrogen declines in midlife, muscle protein breakdown speeds up
Protein gives your body the amino acids it needs for muscle protein synthesis + repair
The answer : Eat 20-40g of protein every 4 hours
( Iām vegetarian and donāt eat eggs and even I can manage this!! )
