🍗🥩🍳How to Make sure you are Getting Your Protein

Thank you for taking an active role in your menopausal journey!  Most women are under-eating protein...including myself and that is why I've been focusing on increasing it over the last few months.

This is one step that taken consistently will improve your menopausal symptoms and help with your waistline (energy and moods)!

Protein becomes even more crucial over the age of 40 for two main reasons:

• It helps us prevent sarcopenia (or age-related muscle mass loss)

• It helps us manage our weight as we move through the menopause journey   

And our protein needs increase over the age of 65 because we can't digest and absorb protein as well, so getting into the habit of making protein a priority needs to happen now. 

If I could only give you one habit to work on, it would be this...

...aim for one palm of dense protein with EVERY meal. 

Protein dense foods are a MUST if you want to drop belly fat and feel your best during the later half of your life.

You know that mid-morning hungry feeling you get sometimes … even if you eat breakfast?  I used to get it when I ate cereal, toast or some other processed carb for breakfast.

I’d crash around 10am and start looking for something else to eat.  Changing my breakfast was one of the first things I did to reduce my cravings and support my menopausal mind and body.

Or maybe you skip breakfast because it’s too busy or chaotic to throw together a healthy meal to start your day? Just and FYI, no matter what time you start eating – you are still breaking your fast.

What I’ve noticed with working with women in my Menopause Made Easy Vibrant Living Program is that if they start eating a better breakfast, it starts to reduce afternoon munchies and nighttime eating which, by the way, will derail your fat/weight loss progress and further contribute to menopause symptoms. But Tanya, what about Intermittent Fasting and skipping breakfast???– we will get to that later!!

Here’s an interesting fact: breakfast eaters tend to be healthier than people who don’t eat breakfast.

It’s true! They have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases and are less likely to be overweight or obese.

This is why I’m excited to share a brand-new resource with you…

Starting your day with a healthy meal can send a strong message to yourself about being proactive and taking positive actions toward your health and wellness especially while on your menopausal journey which can start around 35+.

In fact, some experts theorize that the reason people who eat breakfast tend to be healthier is because of their overall lifestyle pattern.
