How Much Does A Woman’s Metabolism Slow Down With Menopause?

I read an article today that said -premenopause out of 1000 calories, you would burn 700 and store 300. Postmenopause the opposite-burn 300 and store 700. I’m not going for numbers,but a basic idea of how different it is. Is this fairly accurate? Thanks for the help.

I think it’s probably relative. I’m admittedly guessing – I’ve got about ten years to go before starting menopause. But I would think if you’ve exercised and eaten well your whole life, menopause wouldn’t have a huge effect on your metabolism. I know plenty of post-menopausal women who look just great.
PS Here is an interesting article on CNN about this. Sounds like all is not lost!http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/HQ/010…
Look at how wide their butts get. It is believable to me.
