Here’s the question I’d ask you if we were sitting across from each other right now-
If hormones and age are why you can’t lose weight NOW, what was the reason you gained it back THEN?
When you were younger and everything was supposedly fine? Because here’s what I see.
Most diets work. You follow them, you lose the weight, you feel great. And then you “finish” and go back to whatever caused the problem. Those unhelpful habits come back and so does the weight.
Not because of your hormones. Because nothing about the way you were eating actually changed long term.
Now in perimenopause, yes, things are genuinely harder. I won’t pretend otherwise. Your hormones are all over the place, your body stores fat differently, your metabolism isn’t what it was. All of that is real.
But if the habits weren’t sustainable at 30, they’re definitely not going to be sustainable at 45 with everything else going on on top of it.
So the real question isn’t how do I lose weight despite my hormones. It’s how do I lose weight during midlife changes and keep it off this time?
It’s really not as complicated as you may think it is. Let me help you sift through alllllll the info and uncomplicate it with you.
