PERIMENOPAUSE NUTRITION MYTH #1 🚨
“I’m gaining weight, so I just need to eat less.”
Not necessarily.
During perimenopause, changes in hormones, sleep, stress, appetite, activity, and body composition can all affect how you feel and how your body responds to food.
And dramatically cutting calories isn’t automatically the answer.
Instead of asking:
❌ “How little can I eat?”
Try asking:
✅ “Am I getting enough protein?”
✅ “Am I eating enough fiber?”
✅ “Am I eating consistently?”
✅ “Am I strength training?”
✅ “How is my sleep?”
✅ “What does my overall eating pattern look like?”
Nutrition during perimenopause isn’t about eating as little as possible. It’s about making the food you eat work harder for you.
