Weight gained in your 40s and 50s:
let us look together at why it starts with the belly
Even eating as you used to, the weight goes to your belly first. We prescribe while also considering menopausal changes and muscle loss.
- Hormone and muscle changes
- Sleep, hot flashes, fatigue
- Abdominal weight gain

- GroupWomen going through menopause, and men and women in their 40s and 50s with increased abdominal obesity
- GoalWe protect muscle and reduce the body fat around your belly
- ApproachWe first check sleep, hot flashes, fatigue, and the medicines you take
Why is it hard?
Why is it hard to lose weight at this stage of life?
Sleep, hot flashes, and stress
When you sleep poorly, your appetite increases during the day, and when stress builds up, fat tends to accumulate around the belly.
Declining muscle and activity
With age, muscle and movement both decrease. You use less energy, so more is easily left over even from the same meals.
If this sounds like you
Do any of these sound familiar?
- You eat the same amount as before, but only your belly grows.
- You feel heat rise at night or wake often.
- You are tired all day and have no energy to exercise.
- Company dinners and drinks with meals continue, and your health checkup numbers worry you.
- When you starve, your energy drops quickly, and you regain easily.
Miple's prescription
How a Miple prescription works
- Checking symptoms and medicinesWe first ask about sleep, hot flashes, fatigue, and any blood pressure or blood sugar medicine or hormone therapy. If needed, we look at your recent checkup results.
- Body composition checkWe look at body fat and muscle separately. Protecting muscle is the standard.
- Replenishing while slimmingIf your energy is weak, we consider GONG BI JIN YAK, which contains Gongjindan ingredients. We adjust the pace so you do not wear out.
- Adjusting slowlyWe change stages each month and check that muscle is not dropping. We go at a pace that does not push you.
Diet and lifestyle tips
Try this at home
- Do not starve; get protein at every meal. It is the easiest way to protect muscle.
- Go to bed early and get some sunlight during the day. Exercise is not required; if you want more, raise the intensity and add strength training.
- If late-afternoon coffee disturbs your sleep, drink it only in the morning.
- Cut down how often you drink, and on drinking days, choose mostly meat and vegetables as side dishes.
- On days when stress builds up, get some sunlight and walk, even briefly.

Consultation process
How your care proceeds
Adjusting and finding your stage
We check symptoms such as sleep and hot flashes and start at a low stage. This is the period for finding the stage that suits you.
Monthly body composition check · stage adjustment
Each month we check muscle mass through body composition and adjust the stage.
Months 3–6, lowering stages gradually
Over 3–6 months we gradually step the stages down and review the eating and exercise habits to keep.
This describes the care process. The pace and results of weight loss vary from person to person.

Frequently Asked Questions
40s and 50s: your questions
I'm in menopause. Can I take it?
In most cases, yes. We check your symptoms and the medication you take, then prescribe.
Will menopause symptoms improve too?
It is a diet prescription, not one that addresses symptoms. If symptoms are severe, talk to your doctor in charge first.
Can I take it while on hormone medication?
Please tell us the name and dose. We check whether they can be taken together, and please do not stop your existing medicine on your own.
Do you see men too? I have frequent company dinners.
Yes, we see both men and women. If you have frequent company dinners, we also advise on how to handle drinking occasions.
Won't I lose muscle?
Muscle is lost when you fast or do not get enough protein. Make sure you get protein, and we check with body composition every month. If you want more, you can raise the intensity and add strength training.
