The Galveston Diet
When Dr Mary Claire Haver, a distinguished OBGYN and nutrition expert, reached perimenopause, she found herself facing a myriad of unexpected and severe symptoms. Despite adhering to a healthy lifestyle, she struggled with unexplained weight gain and fatigue, unresponsive to conventional diets and fitness routines. Determined to find a solution, Dr Haver delved into extensive research and clinical trials, which culminated in a transformative health programme known as The Galveston Diet.
The Galveston Diet is built on three foundational principles designed to tackle the unique challenges menopausal women face:
Fuel Refocus: By adjusting the proportions of healthy fats, lean proteins, and quality carbohydrates, this principle optimizes your metabolism, enabling efficient fat burning. The diet encourages a higher intake of omega-3 fatty acids, plant-based fibres, and nutrient-dense foods to support overall health and well-being.
Intermittent Fasting: This component advocates for a flexible 8-hour eating window. By strategically timing your meals, your body can effectively draw on stored fat for energy, promoting weight loss without feeling deprived. This method also supports cellular repair and improves metabolic health.
Anti-inflammatory Foods: Central to The Galveston Diet is the emphasis on anti-inflammatory ingredients such as leafy greens, olive oil, berries, nuts, and tomatoes. These foods help reduce inflammation, which is linked to many chronic diseases and the aggravation of menopausal symptoms. They also contribute to clearer thinking, better sleep quality, and fewer hot flashes.
Combining these strategies, the programme offers a sustainable approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Women following The Galveston Diet often report increased energy levels, improved cognitive function, and enhanced emotional well-being.
The Galveston Diet empowers menopausal women to take control of their health through science-backed nutrition and lifestyle choices. It is more than a diet; it is a comprehensive guide tailored to the specific needs and challenges faced during menopause, offering a practical and effective path to rejuvenation and vitality.
