Your body thrives on consistency
A consistent routine for nutrition, movement, exercise & sleep:
✅️optimises energy levels
✅️decreases stress
✅️reduces hunger & cravings
✅️reduces 'cognitive load' (reduces need for thinking & decision-making)
✅️reduces need for 'willpower'
✅️improves mood
✅️improves body function & composition
And consistency includes WEEKENDS
Keeping as consistent as possible a routine for nutrition, movement, exercise & sleep across your weeks AND weekends may be the 'success hack' you're missing
ACTION STEPS:
➡️Have a plan
➡️Schedule the actions that create the body / fitness/ health / life you desire
➡️Put habits in place which support the things you want to learn / person you want to be
➡️Don't think of weekends as 'off plan'. Sure, plan some enjoyment, but keep as much consistency as possible - come Monday you'll feel better for it
➡️Show up (top tip: get accountability to make sure you do 👋🏼)
➡️Repeat, adjusting as necessary (or get advice from someone who knows 👋🏼)

Not making any progress with your fatloss efforts? It's SO easy for Friday-to-Sunday to undo your Monday-to-Thursday hard work 😫
➡️Example:
🎯500 cal deficit Mon-Thur = 2000 cals in deficit
🤦🏻♀️1000 cal over maintenance Fri-Sun = 3000 cals extra eaten
😫Result = no progress & maybe even fat gain
This is a big issue for women as generally we have a lower daily calorie ‘budget’ to work with, especially in perimenopause onwards as we have even less wiggle room
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: you don’t have a fatloss problem, you have a consistency problem!
You can’t 'be good' 4 days a week & expect results if the other 3 completely cancel it out
But that doesn’t mean
🚫 No social life
🚫 No meals out
🚫 No wine
🔑It means you need a plan that actually works in real life
💡What I call a 'nutrition strategy for life'
Most people aren’t failing Mon to Thurs - they just don't realise the damage they're doing Fri to Sun!
And if you’re trying to figure this out on your own, without the right strategy or support, it’s scarily easy to stay stuck in this cycle for years, &/or to think your metabolism's broken / change is impossible / that the only answer is massive restriction or GLP1s
💡But it's not!
If this sounds familiar, but you're failing to fix it alone, you need accountability & a proper realistic plan that actually works in real life
👋🏼Which is where I come in!

We'll sort your nutrition, fitness, & mindset for results that last LONG TERM, all within the context of better understanding & supporting your menopause transition

Food cravings can often be our undoing, especially when tired, hormonal, or in perimenopause
And they're often why someone ends up being in calorie excess when they don't intend to be
Which can scupper weightloss efforts & make weight management seem far harder if not impossible - especially in midlife when we have less wiggle room, worse sleep, & hormonal challenges
➡️➡️➡️Here's my top tips on how to help yourself avoid & overcome them

Choosing to invest in yourself is hard, especially if you've struggled to stick to things in the past,
But getting a proper structured plan, coaching, and accountability isn't the same as trying to follow a cookie-cutter programme

“I wanna lose fat & have a better body by summer but there's easter & all the bank hols coming up, plus I'm going to my friend's birthday meal in a few weels”🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
This ⬆️ is how you stay permanently stuck
Cos 'diets' have made you think it's impossible to get a better body while also living your life
When I coach my clients we know they don't need a 'diet' they need a nutrition strategy for LIFE
I teach several flexible methods & strategies so you can enjoy events & still progress
It becomes part of how you normally eat, how you structure things
Even when my clients go on hols most of them maintain their lower weight
Cos we don't do extreme/fad diets to lose their weight they aren’t in off/on binge/restrict mindset
It’s not difficult: with the RIGHT approach: you can attend parties & events & still make fatloss progress
You can eat what you want, picking your pleasure without going crazy!
When you do things properly, using the right approach to reach your goals without craziness, then there are NO negative ramifications
🤦🏻♀️You hear people say all the time in winter/spring "now's not the right time/it's ages away" then all of a sudden “Argh summer's almost here, I need an quick fix to lose all this fat"
🔑A long-term sustainable approach allows you to enjoy life events without sabotaging
And the results LAST
💡There’s never a 'perfect' time to start, with no events coming up
🔑The best idea is to get started & learn an approach which works in LIFE
➡️Which is what I help my clients do when we work together
And why they succeed
So if you want to be supported to improve your nutrition habits, body, health, & energy with a structured plan that WORKS in real life & LASTS…

Knowledge is power when it comes to nutrition, especially when it comes to fatloss in midlife
A nutrition framework that delivers fatloss results, that works in real life, and where you don't feel deprived, shouldn't ban or demonise things but it SHOULD educate you to be aware of the little things that might be sabotaging you

Sleep is quite literally a superpower - and we know that it can be a challenge due to the pressures of life (and also thanks to hormone fluctuations during the menopause transition when sleep issues can affect up to 60% of women!)
BUT there's LOADS that can be done to optimise your sleep!
💡Here are my top tips for world sleep day or any other day - let me know if you have any Qs or if you think I forgot anything!
Most women in perimenopause & menopause are making a mistake due to pervasive social conditioning & myths we've grown up with. And our beliefs about weights aren't just wrong, they're actively HARMING us
(And in addition it’s ALSO probably why you’re not seeing body change results)
Comment 'STRONG' and I’ll send you my guide on how to tell how heavy you should actually be lifting in midlife

Should you always lower calories if you're not losing weight?
No!
If the calorie target is so low you simply CAN'T stick to it & end up bingeing, the answer ISN'T a more restrictive target!
Think about it, if you CAN'T stick to 1200 without bingeing, & end up eating 500 extra calories most days, that's 1700 calories & a boatload of self-esteem issues to boot 😔
If you CAN stick to 1350 then that's 1350 calories a day PLUS no damage to self esteem 😊
There ARE ways to feel more satiated on lower calories (& I teach these to my clients), & of course there are also hahits, hunger cues etc to take into account, but there IS also such a thing as TOO LOW a target
Sure, there's other issues affecting binge eating, emotional eating, etc - but over-restriction is a definite driver!
If you want to lose fat then calories should be as high as possible to lose fat without losing muscle, without causing metabolic down-regulation, & without causing bingeing
And for women in perimenopause this balance becomes even more delicate
You don't need a 'diet' you need a nutrition strategy for LIFE❤️
Which is where my coaching programme comes in 😊 It's specifically designed to help midlife women lose excess fat, gain strength, get fitter, more toned, & FEEL GREAT💃 WITHOUT starving you

My aim is to increase your fitness in a way which supports & improves your everyday life. I want you to have more energy to play with your kids/play sport/lift heavy stuff, and to be more aware of your posture & nutritional choices.
I understand that many 'regular' people want to get fitter & feel better about themselves & their bodies, but may have to spend a lot of time sat down at work, have health issues, or struggle with confidence/motivation/competing priorities.
I found PT relatively late in life & understand what it's like to have a desk job & non-sporting background. I've been busy learning from some of the best, with courses on exercise technique, DNA SNPs, nutrition, immunology, & Pilates teaching, so I can see the big picture for you. I don’t intend to stop learning.
I see my role as supporting you achieve your goals, whether it's fat loss, building muscle, general fitness, strength, or a combination. It’s my job to understand how to get you from where you are now to where you want to be, and beyond. I aim to increase your knowledge and motivation, and to support and empower you to fulfil your full potential.
I focus on good technique & train clients in a way that challenges but doesn't exhaust them, corrects postural imbalances/weaknesses, improves physique, and gives knowledge, support and motivation. And I'm happy to join in for things like medball slams and glute band work if you need the support!
