FICTION!

This calorie intake is generally far too low for women & can have negative health effects over time such as impacting hormones (many women can lose their period if their calorie intake is too low), brain fog, low energy, irritability & more!

Creating a calorie deficit for weight loss can be a helpful tool, but to achieve this healthily we need to factor in age, activity level, muscle mass, metabolism & underlying health conditions - this will ensure your deficit works for you & is actually sustainable.

Another easy way to increase your protein without meat…

Add cottage cheese to recipes!

It can be added to a meal, used as a dip for fruits & veg or blended into soups, pasta sauces or even pancake mix to make those meals higher in protein!

LENTILS - are a great source of folate, iron, magnesium, protein and fibre.

They are an alkaline protein source and may help to balance acidity in the body. There are many varieties of lentils, including red, puy, brown and green.

Dried lentils are best soaked overnight before cooking to help neutralise any phytates and improve digestibility (red lentils do not need to be soaked).

Tinned lentils are available; ideally you should choose a brand that does not use BPA-lined tins.

USE FOOD TO BOOST YOUR LIVER FUNCTION AND PROTECT YOUR BODY.

Asparagus, spinach, watermelon, pears, pumpkin (squash), potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and other cruciferous vegetables are rich in glutamine, which can help the liver remove waste and boost your immune system.

Increasing your intake of foods that contain allyl sulphide - such as garlic, shallots, onions and chives — also stimulates glutathione production, which further helps to protect the liver and reduce oxidative stress.

Increasing your vitamin C intake can restore the adrenal glands and support hormone balance.

Eat at least two to three serves of vitamin C-rich foods most days;

Try papaya, capsicum (pepper), broccoli, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, pineapple, oranges, kiwifruit and cauliflower.

Progesterone is essential for a healthy luteal phase and a successful pregnancy but when your body is producing lots of stress hormones, progesterone levels drop.

When you are stressed, your adrenal glands produce the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline.

To make cortisol, however, your adrenal glands need progesterone and when cortisol is needed, progesterone will always be used, no matter how little you already have available.

When you are chronically stressed (or even, like many of us, chronically busy and running on cortisol and adrenaline) progesterone levels become low.

Reducing stress, and restoring healthy adrenal function, may improve progesterone levels.

The most perfect 🛁 situation

For optimal hormonal balance, aim to exercise four to five times a week to reduce weight if required, or do high-intensity exercise a maximum of two or three times a week if your body weight is very low.

Mixing high-intensity sessions with yoga, pilates, walking and rest days is a great way to keep your fitness levels up while you regain hormonal balance.
It can be really confusing to know what type of exercise is best for you.

Exercise can really heal or harm your cycle so it’s best to get professional advice if you are unsure. If you are suspect you have a hormonal imbalance or are currently trying to conceive, try to take a very moderate approach to exercise.

Focus more on movement and circulation and less on endurance and high intensity. If you are not exercising, it’s time to begin, slowly and gently.

HEADACHES
Premenstrual headaches can occur when ostrogen and progesterone drop to their lowest levels just before and during the first day of menstruation.

Higher levels of prostaglandins and lower levels of the body’s natural painkilling endorphins may also be responsible.

Others will find that their headaches are worse at ovulation, when the liver is struggling to metabolise high oestrogen levels.
