Trying to lose weight in perimenopause can feel confusing.
You eat less, exercise more, cut carbs…and the scales still won’t budge.

Often it’s because the things women are told to do can actually slow metabolism down.

Here are a few things that tend to work better:

1. Protein at each meal
Helps maintain muscle and keeps you fuller for longer, which supports metabolism.

2. Fibre-rich carbs instead of cutting them
Foods like oats, fruit and vegetables help stabilise blood sugar and energy.

3. Strength training
Protects muscle and supports metabolic health better than endless cardio.

Comment CRASH for my free Stop the 3pm Crash Guide👇

If today was the day you were done crashing at 3pm, these are five small shifts you could make straight away.

Blood sugar dips are one of the biggest reasons energy, mood and cravings feel all over the place and fixing them doesn’t require cutting everything out, eating perfectly or living on rabbit food (thankfully).

Start here
1. Eat three proper meals a day. Skipping or grazing keeps blood sugar on a rollercoaster.
2. Build meals around whole foods. Think beans, lentils, oats, quinoa and root veg rather than white carbs and ultra processed snacks.
3. Add protein every time. A palm sized portion helps slow glucose release and keeps energy steady.
4. Fill half your plate with veg. Fibre slows sugar spikes and supports gut and metabolic health.
5. Watch drinks and stimulants. Sugary drinks, sweeteners, lots of coffee and alcohol can all push blood sugar up then down fast.

These are small changes but they make a big difference to energy, focus and cravings when done consistently.

It feels a little uncomfortable to admit this, but one of my goals for 2026 is to help more women feel confident in their bodies again, and stop accepting bloating, exhaustion and hormone chaos as normal.

For the longest time I thought feeling uncomfortable most days was just part of life. Part of getting older. Something to push through while juggling everything else.

Then I started paying attention to what my body was actually asking for. Less restriction. Less forcing. More support around digestion, blood sugar and stress. Slowly, things began to feel calmer and more predictable.

That shift is what shapes the way I work now. Small, realistic changes that fit real life, not perfection.

Comment ENERGY for my free Christmas Energy Reset 🎄

December is fun, but it’s a lot. Later nights, richer food, more plans and somehow less rest. That’s usually why energy dips, not because your body is failing.

So I keep a few simple habits in place.

I eat proper meals instead of grazing. Protein, fibre and healthy fats help keep blood sugar steady so energy doesn’t spike and crash.

I start the day warm. A warm drink or meal supports digestion and frees up energy for everything else.

I slow eating down, even briefly. Sitting and breathing helps my body actually digest food instead of rushing through it.

I don’t stack every evening with plans. Short walks, earlier nights when I can and leaving space makes a huge difference.

If you want the simple habits I share with my clients to keep energy steady this time of year, comment ENERGY and I’ll send you my free Christmas Energy Reset.

Comment CALM for my free Calm Your Perimenopause Mood Swings guide.

Mood swings, bursts of rage or random crying spells in your 40s aren’t just “your age.” Most women think they’re being emotional, but it’s usually progesterone dipping, cortisol spikes and blood sugar ups and downs.

Supporting your body makes a real difference. Protein at breakfast steadies blood sugar, magnesium and B vitamins help your nervous system, slow-burning carbs and healthy fats keep energy stable, and fibre supports your gut, where much of your mood chemistry is made.

When these foundations are in place, mood swings soften and you feel more grounded.

Comment BREAKFAST for my free high-protein breakfast recipes.

If you’re tired of raiding the Quality Streets or the kitchen cupboards every afternoon, breakfast is usually the hidden trigger.

When the morning starts with beige carbs, your blood sugar spikes, crashes… and suddenly you’re at the cupboard at 3pm wondering how you got there. It’s not about willpower. It’s about blood sugar and hormones doing what they do.

A protein-rich breakfast steadies things out, keeps cravings calmer and stops that mid-afternoon hunt for something sweet. Eggs, Greek or coconut yoghurt, smoked salmon or a high-protein smoothie work even on busy mornings.

If cravings and energy crashes keep creeping in, start with your first meal.

Comment BREAKFAST and I’ll send you the recipes.

If your tummy is controlling your afternoons, this one’s for you.

I’m Lisa, a gut and hormone nutritionist, and I help women finally understand what their gut and hormones are trying to tell them, so you can feel comfortable, energised and confident again.

Bloating, running to the loo at work, unpredictable digestion, these aren’t just “annoying habits,” they’re signals your body is giving you. Cutting out everything, ignoring symptoms, eating the same “safe” meals, blasting probiotics without a plan, or comparing yourself to others? That’s usually what makes bloating worse.

Your gut thrives on nourishment, variety, and personalised support, not restriction or copy-paste fixes. More colours, fibres, and diversity in your meals can make a real difference, and yes, you can still enjoy your food without the afternoon bloat.

Follow along for simple gut tips, realistic food swaps, and advice that actually helps digestion and hormones.

And if that 5pm bloat is your daily enemy, I’ve put together the first steps to actually fix it. Comment BLOAT and I’ll send it straight to you.

I don’t think enough women realise that the reason they turn into a gremlin at 3pm is the same reason they’re craving everything in sight and snapping at everyone. It’s not “lack of willpower”, it’s your blood sugar crashing and your hormones trying to keep up.

When your energy dips, your cravings spike. When your cravings spike, your mood tanks. And by the afternoon you feel like you could inhale half the kitchen and still be hungry. This is one of the most common patterns I see with women struggling with energy, irritability, cravings and hormone symptoms.

A couple of simple shifts make a huge difference. A protein-rich breakfast steadies your blood sugar so you don’t spiral later. Adding fibre and healthy fats keeps you fuller for longer and stops the 3pm crash. Small changes that support your hormones, mood and appetite without restriction.
