Estrolean™, was one of first menopausal weight loss products on market. It's formula is somewhat dated but still contains ingredients that have shown to be beneficial in alleviating menopausal symptoms. Like Zalestra™, EstroLean™ formula does not contain strong stimulant based ingredients. Estrolean™ addresses weight loss with a relatively small amount of thermogenic properties and ingredients that support release of fatty acids from fat cells. Estrolean™ also contains naturally occurring estrogen which addresses hormonal imbalance responsible for symptoms associated with menopause and weight gain.

Overall, many of ingredients contained in these formulas can be beneficial in minimizing uncomfortable symptoms, such as weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, that are associated with natural progression of a woman's life cycle. Menopause easing ingredients, as well as, hormonal supporting nutrients can be coupled with standard weight loss components producing beneficial effects of both weight loss and symptom relief. We have to remember when looking at these formulas, hormonal imbalance plays a major role in weight gain equation. Estrin D™ targets primarily symptom of menopausal weight gain alone. EstroLean™ targets primarily symptoms related to hormonal imbalances such as hot flashes and night sweats, while being a mild weight loss product. Zalestra™, is a more comprehensive formulation addressing not only weight gain but symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, seen in menopausal woman. This being said, these products are definitely worth a try for women who are experiencing weight gain or other negative symptoms associated with menopause.

And, what's wrong in getting crew involved with some self education as a family type project. After all it's family that presses it demands on you – so why not let them help and take a little responsibility?

Finding facts about fast food restaurant nutrition is pretty easy as well. Along with specific foods like Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Indian and other types of foods is readily available. We've even seen charts of nothing but fish food nutrition. Gather up this information print it out and let others study issue and provide a family report at dinner.

Let everyone get involved and then work together making changes that all have come to learn about and now better understand why. Have someone do a report on food label nutrition facts as well. There's a saying I remember that goes along these lines. A man convinced against his will is of same opinion still. With some education, patience (what's new) and gathering of food nutrition facts we start on our new journey for optimum health.
