Menopause Nutrition

We’ve probably all eaten a little too much over the Festive season, but it doesn’t have to be difficult to get back on track.

It’s harder, but not impossible to reach and maintain a healthy weight when going through menopause, however it takes a little work and thinking because what worked in our 20’s and 30’s isn’t going to work in our 40’s and 50’s.

Here’s some tips to help:

Prioritise protein at every meal, aim for 30g-50g per meal- not sure what this looks like?, message me and I’ll help you figure it out

Don’t, don’t, don’t eliminate carbohydrates, just choose more fibre filled options, like quinoa, brown rice, protein pasta for example.

Stop beasting yourself for hours on a treadmill. Focus on strength training to build lean muscle, and do 3 bodyweight or resistance training workouts to 1 or 2 10-20 minute High Intensity Interval training sessions

Most important of all, celebrate the fact that your body has got you this far and if you take care of your body and mind, you can absolutely thrive through menopause and beyond
