How to reduce weight during menopause with hypothyroidism and thalassemia minor? - #53476

It’s good you’re already walking and exercising—those habits will make a big difference. With menopause + hypothyroidism, weight loss is absolutely possible, but it tends to be slower and requires a more structured approach. –Hypothyroidism slows metabolism → fewer calories burned Menopause reduces estrogen → more fat storage (especially around belly) Muscle mass naturally decreases → further slows metabolism So your plan should focus on: preserving/building muscle, stabilizing hormones, controlling calories without starving. —Weekly plan: Walking: 30–45 mins daily (try brisk pace) Strength training (VERY important): 3x/week Squats (chair squats) Wall push-ups Light dumbbells or water bottles Stretching / yoga: 2–3x/week (helps hormones + stress) - Muscle building = faster metabolism —Medicines Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tab BD after meals Triphala tab - 1 tab at night Medohar guguglu 1 tab twice daily after meal Shatavari Churna – 1 tsp at night with milk ----Diet Light, warm food (moong dal, millets, vegetables) Include ginger, garlic Avoid sugar, maida, curd at night ---- Advice Continue thyroid medicine Regular follow-up after 21 days
