There are two types of bank holiday women. The “I’ve earned this,” woman… and the “why do I feel awful after this?” woman.
Which one are you?
Bank Holidays are where routine goes to die. Late breakfasts. Random snacking. A glass of something before noon (no judgment).
And honestly? That’s not the problem.
The problem is when your body — already navigating perimenopause — gets completely blindsided.
Blood sugar swings.
Energy crashes at 3 pm.
Mood dips that feel… disproportionate.
So here’s the reframe:
You don’t need to be “perfect.” You need anchors.
No rules. Anchors.
→ A proper protein-based first meal
→ Eating before you’re starving
→ Pairing treats, not free-falling into them
That’s it.
That’s the difference between “I enjoyed myself” and “I need three days to recover.” Which used to be me.
Tomorrow, I’ll show you exactly what that looks like in real life (including what I actually ate on Bank Holiday Monday).
Eggs - protein
Avocado - monounsaturated fats, fibre
Walnut toast - protein, fibre, healthy fats
Add salmon - omega-3 fats
