🔥 “If you’re over 40 and still trying to lose fat the same way you did in your 20s... we need to talk.” 🔥

And here’s what they might not know:

👉 Your metabolism isn’t “broken”—it’s just responding to hormonal shifts, muscle loss, and lifestyle habits. Strength training and protein are now non-negotiable.

👉 Cortisol is working against you if you’re overdoing cardio, under-eating, or stressed 24/7. More isn’t better—smarter is.

👉 Your carb timing matters—loading carbs earlier in the day when you’re more active helps balance blood sugar and energy, instead of storing them as fat.

🚀 If you’re ready to finally see results, let’s get to work. Drop a 🔥 in the comments if this hit home!

📌 Recently I covered why hormones are shifting—today, let’s talk about how to eat in a way that actually supports fat loss, not fights it.

When oestrogen drops in perimenopause, your body becomes more insulin resistant, meaning it struggles to regulate blood sugar properly.

This leads to:

⚡ Energy crashes
🍕 Intense cravings (especially for sugar & carbs)
📉 Stubborn fat storage (especially around the middle)

❌ Skipping meals makes this worse by spiking cortisol (stress hormone), which raises blood sugar and signals your body to store more fat.

💡 How to balance blood sugar for fat loss:
✅ Eat protein, fibre & healthy fats at every meal
✅ Prioritise whole, slow-digesting carbs (think oats, quinoa, sourdough)
✅ Stop skipping meals—fuel your body consistently

Here are three balanced meal ideas to keep blood sugar stable, support fat loss, and keep cravings in check:

🍳 Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with avocado + sourdough toast + sautéed spinach 💡 Why? Protein + healthy fats + fibre keep you full and prevent mid-morning crashes.

🥗 Lunch: Grilled chicken + quinoa + roasted pumpkin + leafy greens + olive oil dressing💡 Why? Balanced carbs + protein + healthy fats = steady energy and no afternoon sugar cravings.

🍣 Dinner: Baked salmon + roasted sweet potato + steamed broccoli with tahini drizzle💡 Why? Omega-3s + slow-digesting carbs + fibre help regulate insulin and support hormone balance.

Your body isn’t fighting you—it just needs the right strategy. Who’s been struggling with energy dips & cravings lately? Drop a 🍫 if this sounds like you! ⬇️

Papaya every morning? You bet 🍽️

It’s my little gut-loving ritual to kickstart the day — packed with digestive enzymes (hello, papain) that support smoother digestion and help beat the bloat. It’s also loaded with vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants that support skin health, immunity, and inflammation — all things I’m here for!

As a nutritionist, I’m always looking for those simple daily habits that help us feel good from the inside out… and this is one of them. It’s not about being perfect — just setting up the day with choices that support my energy, gut, and goals.

Strong habits lead to a strong, thriving body 💛

2 TOP TIPS FOR BEGINNER FAT LOSS

🍽️ Ready to take your fat loss journey to the next level? It all starts with knowing what you’re eating and filling your plate with the good stuff! 💚

Focus on nutrient-dense options—think plenty of fibre, greens, and wholesome ingredients.

👉🏼When you fuel your body with the right foods, fat loss becomes a natural side effect, and you’ll feel fantastic inside and out.

🤍Two tips for beginners:🤍

1️⃣ **Load up on fibre:** It keeps you full and supports digestion—think veggies, whole grains, and legumes.

2️⃣ **Don’t skimp on protein:** It helps build muscle and keeps your metabolism revved up. Pair it with greens for a balanced meal that satisfies and nourishes.

Move. Nourish. Thrive!

Choosing kindness isn’t always the easy path, especially when life feels heavy and things don’t seem to go your way. But here’s the thing – kindness has this incredible ripple effect. It can lift someone’s mood, change a bad day, and even heal a little piece of your own heart. 🤍

I’ve had my share of challenges lately, but I’m choosing to rise above, to respond with compassion, and to keep my energy in a place that feels true to who I want to be.

Because at the end of the day, I’d rather spread a little light, even when the world feels a bit cloudy. 💫

So if you’re in that space right now, just remember – your kindness is more powerful than you think. 💛

3 Fat Loss Breakfasts I Give My Clients on Repeat 🍳🥣

One of the biggest mistakes I see women make…. skipping protein at breakfast (or skipping breakfast completely)—then wondering why they’re starving by 10 AM and feeling overwhelmed with life 😩

When you don’t eat enough and work out on an empty stomach—especially in perimenopause—it can trigger a cascade of hormonal stress responses that make fat loss harder, not easier.

Here’s what happens:

1️⃣ Blood Sugar Crashes: Without fuel, your blood sugar drops, leaving you lightheaded, fatigued, and craving carbs post-workout. This can lead to overeating later in the day.

2️⃣ Cortisol Spikes: Exercise is already a stressor on the body. In a fasted state, cortisol (your stress hormone) rises even higher to mobilise energy. For perimenopausal women, this can disrupt hormone balance, increase belly fat storage, and worsen symptoms like mood swings and sleep issues.

3️⃣ Muscle Breakdown: Without adequate nutrition, your body may break down muscle for energy instead of using stored glycogen (carbs) or fat—slowing metabolism over time.

4️⃣ Increased Hunger & Cravings: Later in the day, your body will push you to compensate, often leading to stronger cravings for sugar and refined carbs.

What’s the solution?

Fuel before training with protein + carbs (e.g., a banana with Greek yogurt or a slice of wholegrain toast with eggs). This helps stabilise blood sugar, protect muscle, and optimise fat loss without triggering stress hormones.

If perimenopause has you feeling stuck, nutrition and training tweaks like this make all the difference! 🚀

Here are some other simple ideas: 💡

✅ Egg White Omelette – Keeps hunger in check + supports lean muscle 💪

✅ Weetbix Overnight Bowl – Easy, high-fibre, and meal-prep friendly 🥣

Why Magnesium Before Bed = Better Sleep & Faster Metabolism 😴🔥

Struggling with poor sleep, cravings & stubborn fat? Your body might be low in magnesium—a mineral that regulates stress, supports metabolism & improves deep sleep.

When you don’t get enough magnesium:
⚡ Cortisol stays high → making fat loss harder
🍫 Cravings increase → especially for sugar & carbs
😴 Poor sleep = slower metabolism → leading to more fatigue & stubborn fat storage

Fix it by adding these 10 magnesium-rich foods to your day:
🥑 Avocados
🍫 Dark chocolate (85%+ for the win!)
🌰 Almonds
🥬 Spinach
🫘 Black beans
🫛 Edamame
🍌 Bananas
🫒 Pumpkin seeds
🐟 Salmon
🥜 Cashews

Best time to eat them? In the evening! A small handful of almonds, dark chocolate, or pumpkin seeds before bed can help you relax, stabilise blood sugar & improve recovery.
