๐ฅ The Nutrition Secret During Perimenopause
You're not eating more... you're eating SMARTER.
Here's what changes during perimenopause:
๐น Your metabolism slows (2-8% decline)
๐น Your body becomes more insulin-sensitive
๐น Muscle loss accelerates without resistance training
๐น Nutrient needs actually INCREASE
So what does "eating smarter" mean?
โ
**More protein** (1.2-1.6g per lb of body weight) to preserve muscle
โ
**Strategic timing** (protein + carbs post-workout for recovery)
โ
**Whole foods focus** (nutrient density > calorie counting)
โ
**Healthy fats** (support hormone production)
โ
**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:
โ
Stable energy all day
โ
Better sleep
โ
Sustainable weight management
โ
Improved mood and mental clarity
