🥗 The Nutrition Secret During Perimenopause You're not eating more... you're eating SMARTER. Here's what changes during perimenopause: 🔹 Your metabolism slows (2-8% decline) 🔹 Your body becomes more insulin-sensitive 🔹 Muscle loss accelerates without resistance training 🔹 Nutrient needs actually INCREASE So what does "eating smarter" mean? ✅ **More protein** (1.2-1.6g per lb of body weight) to preserve muscle ✅ **Strategic timing** (protein + carbs post-workout for recovery) ✅ **Whole foods focus** (nutrient density > calorie counting) ✅ **Healthy fats** (support hormone production) ✅ **Fiber** (blood sugar stability + satiety) The game-changer? It's not about restriction. It's about nourishing your body with what it actually NEEDS during this phase. Women who eat this way report: ✅ Stable energy all day ✅ Better sleep ✅ Sustainable weight management ✅ Improved mood and mental clarity This is part of what I teach in my complete Perimenopause Fitness program.
