Help! my waist is expanding, my fat cells are multiplying and I can't control my weight – no matter how little I eat or how much I exercise!

This is the cry of the thousands of women confused about the changes in their bodies and eager for sensible and effective advice. In 'Menopause Without Weight Gain', nutritionist Debra Waterhouse describes the hormonal changes that affect women's bodies in their midlife and how, as production of oestrogen falls, our fat cells actually produce oestrogen for us to keep our bones and bodies healthy. As conventional dieting only makes your fat cells fight harder to grow larger, Debra Waterhouse shows women over 35 how to maximise fitness and weight control with an alternative strategy that really works – a special 5-step programme including:
• Strength training exercises to make your body 15 years younger
• Foods with the best health benefits, especially those containing plant oestrogens
• Trusting your body's food cravings to stabilize moods
• Why a low fat diet can cause more weight gain and greater menopausal tension
• Stress management strategies for a positive lifestyle

"A wealth of positive, healthy, helpful information that can help a woman make menopause what it is: the springtime of the rest of your life."
Christine Northrup, M.D., author of 'Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom'

"Debra addresses a struggle most menopausal women face – unwanted body fat. Her message is clear, well documented, empathetic, and hopeful. A wonderful guide for midlife women."
