You don’t have to eat less to lose weight.
In fact, many of us need to eat more to feel better, move better, and support fat loss.
Especially in peri or post menopause, restricting too hard only works against us — slowing down metabolism, tanking energy, and creating a cycle of frustration and rebound.
Here’s what a real day of eating with abundance looks like for me — meals built around protein, fiber, color, and enough fuel to feel good and stay consistent.
And yes, I lost fat/weight eating like this.
✋ And no — I didn’t stick to 1200 calories a day. (Been there. Done that. Never again.)

Eat more of the right things, and your body will thank you for it.
