✨ Save this for the next time someone says “no carbs after 6pm” ✨
“I don’t eat carbs after 6pm… because it causes weight gain in perimenopause.” 🙄
Let’s clear this up.
Carbs are NOT the enemy. In fact, eating them in the evening can:
🍝 Support better sleep (by helping your body produce serotonin & melatonin)
🌙 Help balance hormones & reduce cortisol
💪 Give your muscles the fuel they need to recover overnight
The truth? It’s not the clock that matters — it’s the quality and balance of your meals.
Perimenopause is about supporting your metabolism, not punishing it.
✔ Choose high-quality carbs (think whole grains, fruit, starchy veg)
✔ Pair them with protein, fibre, and healthy fats
✔ Nourish your body consistently — don’t fear entire food groups
