Losing weight when over 40 and being perimenopausal/ menopausal at the same time can be a challenging time for many. Often we are left at a crossroads trying to decide which road to take…being ‘fun’ or stuck on a weight loss program.
Imagine this like a road trip with two destinations: one leads to “Healthy Fit Land,” and the other takes you to “Party Town” for good times with friends. It feels like you have to choose one and miss out on the other. You might find yourself in “Struggle Stuck Street,” in the meantime trying to decide. But imagine if you had a GPS that lets you switch roads easily. If you detour to ‘Party Town’, you know the shortcuts to get back on track fast to ‘Healthy Fit Land’—no one will even know you were gone! So now you can reach ‘Healthy Fit’ faster, with a guilt-free stop at ‘Party Town’ along the way! Imagine no more… Metabolic Freedom is your GPS to feeling confident in your body and your ticket to having fun again.
What is the actual issue?
Our metabolisms are going through changes. If you’re an over 40 woman like me, you might have faced the same issues I encountered when I hit 40: sudden weight gain, irregular periods, increased PMS, headaches, fatigue, and even sleep problems. Sound familiar?
As we approach the ‘M’ word (menopause), we enter what’s known as the ‘P’ word (perimenopause)—it’s a decade filled with ups and downs.
The reality is, that our estrogen levels, responsible for baby-making, are declining, while cortisol, the stress hormone, remains high. On top of that, insulin, crucial for breaking down sugars and carbs, isn’t working as it should, leading to fat storage around our waist.
When women encounter this sudden change, many defaults to a familiar pattern—eating less and exercising more. It’s almost like it’s ingrained in us from somewhere along the way. We find ourselves skipping meals and hitting the gym or pounding the pavement for a long walk or run. How many of you have skipped a meal or two to compensate for a night out with friends? I know I have. It’s that ‘calories in, calories out’ mantra that’s deeply ingrained in our minds.
Let’s get real: we’ve all faced these roadblocks. Maybe you’ve realised that losing weight and living like you did at 20 just don’t mix anymore.
Now, you might find yourself stuck in “Struggle Stuck Street.” You’re not losing weight, not feeling your best, and feeling guilty every time a party invite pops up.
How do you get Metabolic Freedom?
To achieve both results and enjoy life, the key is knowing how to do it easily and efficiently—each time, making it quicker. The current challenge lies in not yet finding the answer to balancing both. Achieving this boils down to four things: understanding what’s happening, why it’s happening, how to address it, and when to take action.
Understanding what’s happening empowers you to take effective steps. Educating women about their health and changing hormones is crucial—this knowledge should be passed down through generations. It’s about knowing what impacts our health and hormones and safeguarding that foundation at all costs. This understanding guides wiser decisions about our daily choices, from food and drinks to everyday products.
Knowing why things happen is a powerful tool for listening to our bodies. Our bodies communicate constantly. Armed with the ‘what’ and ‘why’, you can master the art of healing but also the roadblocks to your goals.
Then, it’s about knowing how and when. It’s not just about diets or exercises—they’re ineffective alone. Success lies in understanding the boundaries within which food and exercise operate. Follow these boundaries and you balance your hormones which leads you closer to your goals. Timing is crucial too—having a strategy for when to eat and exercise and what can lock your hormones in the right behaviours (rather than the old ones) ensures you can enjoy weekends and holidays without undoing your progress. Ultimate Freedom!
Without this understanding, achieving both a healthy lifestyle and enjoying social activities becomes a challenge. Metabolic Freedom provides the roadmap to balance both—helping you achieve your goals while still living life to the fullest.
Consistency is key when it comes to adopting these simple guidelines and boundaries. Chances are, you’re spending more time on ‘Healthy Fit Road’ than ‘Party Time Lane’ anyway. By simplifying what you’ve learned and practising it throughout the week, it becomes easier to see this as a sustainable lifestyle choice for the long term.
What does Freedom look like?
Picture your life like mine. Monday to Friday, it’s the 9-5 grind, making those easy family meals, squeezing in those quick but fat-burning home workouts, and sticking to our daily strategy like clockwork. Then Friday or Saturday rolls around—it’s BBQs, school dinners, and the occasional girls’ weekend. Thanks to the methodology and strategy we teach, your routine and consistency set you up to enjoy pizza nights, pasta outings, or margaritas with girlfriends guilt-free. You can relax, knowing your body is primed to metabolise and bounce back swiftly come Monday’s routine.
When you bounce back quicker your road towards your goal weight comes along faster. Not using these methods only turns your weight loss car around and this ends you back at your starting point.
