I always enjoy a little bit extra over the festive holiday especially when it comes to Christmas pudding, it’s my fave and I’m so sad I have to wait a whole year before I can have anymore 😭 BUT it’s good to get back to my normal routine which is what helps me to feel so great everyday 😃 I eat this way 90% of the time.
🔸 3 well balanced meals a day never skipping any and not eating past 7pm, eating within a 10-12 hour window. This keeps my blood sugars stable, my body feels SAFE, my hormones regulate. My mood is good, I’m energised, I sleep well 😴 My Perimenopausal self can cope well with the demands of daily life! I don’t experience symptoms 👏
🔸 Protein, fats and fibre at every meal with a strong focus on at least 25-30g of protein 🥩
🔸Everything is REAL food, no processed or refined sugar. I make the time to cook from scratch as it’s a priority, I nourish myself with the best ingredients I can 🥦
🔸 I only eat complex carbs that are found in vegetables including lots of sweet potatoes, sometimes I eat small amounts of brown rice but roasted sweet potatoes are my go to, I love them roasted in olive oil and garlic 🧄
🔸 I have a green tea after breakfast and drink caffeine free like Dandelion Coffee and water for the rest of the day 💧
🔸 I have a square of dark chocolate after lunch or a homemade brownie 🍫
Food literally is medicine, eat real food at the right times of the day and within a week you will feel like a new woman! You may need more of a specialist approach if you are sensitive or intolerant to certain foods. As we go through Perimenopause we can become very sensitive to high histamine foods, sugar, dairy, caffeine and gluten, this is why it’s important to tailor your diet to what suits you best now 👏
If you would like any help in tailoring a proper nourishing food plan to get your hormones working optimally for you, get in touch, I’m here to help,
Lots of love, Sarah 🫶
