When you’ve tracked calories as low as they can go for months on end you body doesn’t just lose weight

1200 calories without a break starts to impact on hormonal systems, thyroid is affected and do is progesterone. This triggers your nervous system into survival mode do everything slows down or worse stops to function effectively.

You didn’t fail your diet, it was your diet that failed your body

But now you’re stuck because you’re scared of increasing calories and gaining weight. There are ways to ignite your metabolism again and break the cycle but none of them involve guesswork

Comment HORMONES and I will share what I would look at first

💣Spoiler alert

You don’t need a better meal plan
You don’t need a better workout plan
Or more steps
Or more supplements

The hardest part is accepting that you will need to change how you show up. You will have to make different choices, undo habits that hold you back and create some new ones that are going to allow you to become the woman you want to be.

Change the perspective- it’s not what you can’t do, it’s about what you can stick to, lower the bar and and you can grow into where you need to be.

The women that are successful in transforming their bodies don’t wait, they take the leap scared and unprepared and they win because they take small and sometimes messy action and figure it out along the way

Maybe you’ve created a version of consistency that is out of reach, that’s just going to lead to frustration when you can’t keep it up and you will tell yourself you failed again, so it becomes easier not to try.

I’ve made every excuse possible not to start and I’ve heard every excuse why it’s never a good time

We come from a diet culture of all or nothing so that’s what we all though was the standard
It isn’t
Drop your shoulders
Lower the bar
Do it messy and figure it out as you go.

Need help? - you can what’s app me if you’re ready or tell me something else that’s holding you back right now

You have the meal plan
You have the Workouts
You even have the supplements

But you still won’t start - ever asked yourself why?

I’m going to hold you hand when I say this, but no one is coming to save you and give you permission to start.

You are in the driving seat and you get to choose whether you take action or sit on the thing keeping you stuck

Consistency trumps Perfection every time

All the things I didn’t do to easily lose weight in Menopause
Because there is no ONE thing you can do that will fix it,
But put a framework together that’s so simple it just slides into your life….

Removing and reducing foods, especially your favourites are going to only work for so long. No one wants rebound weight gain, we don’t forget all the times that’s happened!!

Exercise is not a punishment and it will never balance excess calories. Find something you love doing. I’m obsessed with workouts under 30 minutes that challenge me and allow me to increase my efforts.

Hormones will never balance but eating regularly, reducing stress and losing weight will be far more effective than any supplement

I made changes, I won’t lie, but I stuck at it even when I wasn’t seeing progress but when I did - it was Sooo worth the wait

If you want insight on my system you need to comment OUTSMART - I will send you a guide to get started and then we can chat about what actually works

Here’s what actually works when you’re a busy woman trying to lose weight in menopause:

⚡️Cook once, eat twice
⚡️Batch cook your proteins and carbs in advance
⚡️Mix and match all week by changing the veg.
⚡️No need to count calories or macros, just weigh out your meal, microwave and serve
⚡️Come home to a meal, not a decision

Chicken thighs and rice on Monday become chicken and rice bowls on Tuesday with different spices thrown in.

Same base. Different flavours. Zero extra effort.

You don’t need to be a chef. You need a system that works when you’re tired, busy, and done overthinking food.

When you’ve got a demanding lifestyle, the last thing you need is decision fatigue over dinner on top of decision fatigue at work all day.

When the meal is already sorted, you’re not relying on willpower at 6pm after a testing day. You’re not one bad meeting away from ordering a takeaway you’ll regret.

No more standing at the fridge deciding between takeaway and nothing.

I thought I had to earn my results through effort. Turns out I just had to stop making it so hard.

Simple isn’t the easy way out. It’s the way that lasts. No 12-ingredient recipes. No “clean eating” rules. No spending your Sunday crying over a meal plan.

Simplicity isn’t lazy. It’s sustainable.
