If you're a woman over 40 and struggling to lose weight, and you may even be gaining weight even though you haven't changed anything in your diet and lifestyle, this is for you.

Most women will turn to either calorie counting, eliminating carbs or intermittent fasting to lose weight - but those types of diets not only don't effectively work at this age - they can backfire.

Food is more than simply a calorie count - food acts as a messenger in our body.
Especially with our changing hormones going into perimenopause, to effectively lose weight without having to struggle through food cravings and willpower we CAN learn to work WITH our body and not against it.

Some foods affect our body in a positive way and others affect it in a negative way.
Here i break it down for you simply on how gut health impacts weight loss as a woman over 40 - and some foods to avoid, and those to add in to have it work in your favour.

Food is not just calories. It's a messenger.

Especially as we enter into perimenopause this is more important than ever.

You may have found that the things you did in your 20's and 30's to lose weight are no longer working.

Or maybe you haven't changed anything and you can't understand why you're gaining weight.

Maybe you feel like you're doing everything right - and you're frustrated because you just can't get your weight to budge.

This is an essential first step for weight loss in perimenopause and menopause.

Taking care of sugar (and the sneaky names for it, even hidden in "health foods"), is the first step in getting your hunger hormones to start signalling properly and allowing your body to release the excess weight.

I hope you find this episode helpful.

I'm so happy to present this episode to you - it's good news.

I hear from so many women who are frustrated because they think they're doing everything right to lose weight but it's just not working.

It's not that your body is broken - it's simply that a different approach is required.

An approach that works with our changing hormones at this age.

In today's episode I simplify it for you on WHY carbs are essential for effective weight loss in perimenopause and menopause.

I hope this helps you and encourages you to start eating to work WITH your hormones, and not against them - which is what low carb diets at this age do.
