  Why You Aren't Losing Weight in Menopause (Part 1 of 3)

  Aug 18, 202612 minS2

  This is Part 1 of a 3-part series on midlife metabolism. You've been in a calorie deficit, tracking everything, following the formula to the letter, and the scale still isn't moving. This week I'm digging into a new study that measured perimenopausal women's actual resting calorie burn in a lab and compared it to what the standard calculator formulas predict. Spoiler: most of those formulas overestimate by an average of 215 calories a day, and it's not because of muscle loss like we've all assumed.Then I go down a bit of a rabbit hole into BMI, because it turns out that formula has the same problem: it was built almost 200 years ago from data that never included women like us, and I think you'll never look at it the same way again. In this episode: Why standard calorie formulas overestimate resting calorie burn in perimenopausal women by an average of 215 calories/day (and up to 400 for some formulas). Why muscle loss only explains 1-2% of that gap, not the whole story. The surprising 1830s origin of BMI, and why it was never built with women's bodies (let alone menopausal ones) in mind. What to track instead of a perfect calorie number: satiety, energy, and sleep. Why this is actually good news, and how it connects to trusting your body over the formula. Up next in this series: what's actually slowing your metabolism down in menopause (if it's not muscle loss), and whether any of this means the fight is unwinnable.
