3 things women 40+ can do right NOW to protect their bones.

In my other job, I work in aged care helping older Australians live independently in their homes.

Recently, one of my clients was simply standing in her kitchen making dinner.

No fall.
No accident.

Her bones were so fragile from osteoporosis that her leg just gave way and broke.

Another lovely woman I help is now permanently hunched over because the bones in her spine have slowly weakened and collapsed over time.

Seeing things like this changes the way you think about health.

It’s a reminder that bone strength in our 70s and 80s is built decades earlier.

For women especially, our 40s and 50s are such an important time to support our bones through:
✔ Strength training
✔ Enough calcium in our diet
✔ Vitamin D to help absorb that calcium

This isn’t about being perfect or turning into a gym ju**ie.

It’s about taking small steps now so our future selves can stay strong, mobile and independent.

It’s also one of the things I help busy mums look at inside my Meal Makeover service, making sure everyday meals are actually supporting long-term health, including getting enough calcium.

Because the habits we build today really do shape the way we age.

Why losing the last 3–5kg feels SO much harder than losing 10kg…

I heard something on a podcast this week that really hit home:

👉 Losing those last few kilos is actually harder than losing the first 10kg.

And honestly… it explains a lot.

Because this is exactly where so many of us get stuck — and then start blaming ourselves.

But here’s what’s actually going on:

Your body has less wiggle room.
When you’re closer to your natural weight, your body becomes more protective of its fat stores. It’s not being stubborn it’s trying to keep you safe.

Your calorie deficit shrinks.

As your body gets smaller, it needs less energy. So what worked before? It just doesn’t work the same anymore.

There’s no margin for error.

Those little extras (weekend wine, handfuls while cooking, eyeballing portions) suddenly do matter.

And the big one…

The scale isn’t the full story.

Often what you really want isn’t to lose 5kg — it’s to feel stronger, more toned, and more confident.

That’s about body composition, not just weight.

So what helps instead?

🟣 Stop cutting calories too low
Your body needs fuel — focus on real, nourishing foods

🟣 Add strength training
This is where the magic happens (hello muscle + metabolism boost)

🟣 Get a bit more aware of portions
Not forever — just long enough to spot the sneaky extras

🟣 Be patient
Think slow… like 0.25–0.5kg per month slow

🟣 Revisit your goal
Is it realistic for your life now OR based on your 25-year-old self?

If you’ve been stuck here, you’re not failing.

You’re just at the stage where things require a different approach especially as we hit our 40s and everything shifts a little.

💬 Tell me, are you in this phase right now?

P.S. This is exactly why I always start with your baseline (BMR) instead of guessing calories.

If you want to find yours, I’ve got a free calculator here on my website. No email required 👉 https://asimplenaturalbalance.com/free-calorie-calc/⁠�

The 5 Non-Negotiables I Have in My Nutrition Business (as a Mum of Two Boys 💜)

Being a mum running a business in the pockets of my day means I’ve learned what truly matters and what I refuse to compromise on when supporting other busy mums.

Here are my non-negotiables:

🫶 Real-life, practical solutions - always.

I’ll never hand you a plan that only works on a “perfect day.” I give you strategies that actually fit into school drop-offs, sport runs, work chaos, laundry mountains and everything in between.

🫶 Zero judgement. Ever.

I get it. The quick-and-easy packet food option, the drive-thru, the takeaway….. they’re part of real mum life. You’ll never be shamed for that here. I help you make simple, realistic swaps that make a big difference over time.

🫶 Support that makes you feel seen.

I know your world. The rush, the exhaustion, the never-ending to-do list. I want you to feel supported, understood, and confident with every choice you make around food.

🫶 Simplifying nutrition so it finally feels doable.

No fads. No confusing rules. No overwhelm. Just clear, easy steps that help you feed yourself and your family well, even on the busiest days.

🫶 Empowerment at every step.

My goal is that you leave every conversation feeling more confident, more capable, and more in control. I’ll cheer you on, celebrate your wins, and walk with you through the hard days too.

Being a mum has shaped the way I work, with heart, honesty, and a deep understanding of just how full life can be.

And that’s exactly what I pour into every woman who has a Meal Makeover.

If this speaks to you, I’d love to connect.

Follow along for simple tips, real talk, and nutrition support made for real mums, living real lives. 💜

✨ Busy morning? This is my secret weapon! ✨

My Chia Choc Pudding is a total lifesaver — quick, creamy, chocolatey, and packed with around 30g of protein to keep me going til lunch.

Here’s why I never skip a protein-rich brekkie 👇

◽️Keeps me full and satisfied for hours (no mid-morning snack hunt!)
◽️ Helps steady blood sugars & reduce sweet cravings
◽️Fuels me for busy work days & school runs
◽️Supports muscle strength and metabolism because strong = capable

The best part?

I make it the night before, so mornings are grab and go!

It’s loaded with protein, calcium, fibre & healthy fats — all the good stuff for busy mums who still want to nourish themselves 💕

Nutritious, delicious, and totally mum-life approved 🙌

👉 Save this post for your next meal prep inspo or comment “RECIPE” if you want me to share how I make it!

My Food Philosophy: Nourish, Enjoy, Trust

I believe in enjoying your food, choosing meals you love, and learning to trust your body again. That means letting go of guilt, tuning into your hunger cues, and eating in a way that feels good—not forced.

You don’t need fad diets or complicated rules.

You need simple, satisfying meals that work with your body and your busy life.

Eat when you're hungry. Stop when you're full.
Make peace with your plate—and yourself.

Make food feel good again.

Who agrees?? 🥰

After a day that started out with no idea what to have for dinner to finding enough p**i's for a meal or two this p**i pasta was delicious 😋

A very simple garlic, white wine, lemon, parsley & tomato pasta. YUM!! and the boys asked for more & more until it was all gone. 🙌

18/12/2024

Last night's nearly empty fridge provided leftover chicken, broccoli, pesto & Greek yoghurt so it just had to be a Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta.

Sprinkled with some sun dried tomatoes and it was YUM!!

It got the thumbs up from 3 out 4 family members.

Mr Fussy turned his nose up (as anticipated 🙃) but at least he gave it a try.

What did you enjoy for dinner last night?

🌽✨ If you're looking for a quick, healthy meal option then look no further than Yumi's corn fritters!
