You do not say, but it is important that you have had blood tests as well as consultation, to make sure there is no other underlying cause for the premature menopause, are you taking HRT ?

The changing oestrogen & progesterone levels will affect weight gain so ensure that your diet is variable and healthy, take daily exercise but look at the Blood Group Diet and Menopause Diet as both have foods that are poisons to you, the exclusion of helps not only your metabolic rate but your health and general well -being

A Vitamin & Mineral supplement would ensure you are getting the RDA (recommended daily allowance) to aid body balance, see supplements
