Mindful Eating

Why would you want to eat mindfully? One reason is that as estrogen drops, we have a tendency toward more eating and getting less movement, which would lead to weight gain.

We also have another hormone called leptin that signals that we are full. When estrogen decreases in menopause, we can become resistant to leptin and may not recognize the signals that we are full. So you may feel more hungry during perimenopause.

Another reason for mindful eating is if you eat when you are stressed, that could lead to eating more food.
