🥗 If you’re still hungry after meals, it’s not you — it’s your plate.

Midlife metabolism runs on volume and fiber, not restriction and misery.
You need meals that fill your stomach, steady your blood sugar, and keep your hormones calm — not lettuce leaves and hope.

Think: soups, salads, berries, beans, veggies.
High-fiber, high-volume foods literally tell your brain, “We’re good here, no need to raid the pantry.”

💡 When you eat more real food, not less, you actually:
– stay full longer
– control cravings
– balance blood sugar
– lose weight without white-knuckling it

This is what I call eating for satiety — not scarcity.

And if you want to try one of my favorite cozy examples of that (a high-fiber lentil soup that keeps clients full for hours 👀)…

🥣 The High-Fiber Lentil Soup That Keeps You Full for Hours

This week we’ve been talking about high-volume, filling foods — and this cozy lentil soup is one of my favorite examples. 💛

It’s not your average lentil soup. I take the classic base and turn it into a metabolic powerhouse by adding layers of volume, fiber, and protein:

✨ Beechnut mushrooms – light, immune-supportive, and add amazing texture
✨ Riced cauliflower + shredded zucchini – blended with bone broth to create a creamy, hearty base that’s secretly packed with fiber
✨ Lentils – rich in prebiotic fiber to keep your gut and hormones happy

The magic combo?
Fiber + protein + volume = satiety.
That’s the formula I use to help my clients break through weight-loss plateaus without restriction or hunger.

It’s proof that you don’t have to eat less — you just have to eat smarter. 🥄

💥 Feeling Stuck on Your Weight Loss Journey?

Whether you’re on a GLP-1 or navigating this without medication — hitting a plateau can feel like slamming into a wall.
But it’s not the end — it’s feedback from your body that something needs a reset.

In my new blog, “The Midlife GLP-1 Reset: How to Reboot Weight Loss When Everything Stalls,” I break down exactly how to get things moving again — without restriction or burnout.

In my latest video, I’m sharing some of the first places I have clients look when progress stalls:
🥦 Macronutrient balance — Are you getting enough protein, healthy fats, and fiber?
🍗 Protein power — Aim for consistent intake through the day to support lean muscle.
🥣 High-volume foods — Cruciferous veggies, leafy greens, bone broth, and healthy fats like nuts help you feel satisfied and keep metabolism humming.

If you’re ready to break past your plateau, comment “PLATEAU” below ⬇️ or DM me the word PLATEAU — I’ll send the full article right to your inbox so you can start your own midlife metabolism reboot.

✈️ Big news: I’m thrilled to share that I was featured in Travel + Leisure in their article “We Asked 7 Nutritionists What to Eat on a Flight—and This Is What They Recommend.”

I weighed in on smart, plane-friendly eating — because whether you’re a busy professional or navigating a perimenopausal transition (hello, niche!), staying nourished while traveling really matters.

My go-to? If I haven’t pre-packed something, I’ll dash to a healthy-options spot in the airport and pick up a salad, protein-rich smoothie or bowl — no sacrificing nourishment for convenience. (Quote from the article: “I know life can get busy, so if I don’t have an opportunity to pre-pack something, I’ll usually stop at a restaurant at the airport that has healthy options…”).

✨Family Taco Night, Made Simple✨
Who says one dinner has to fit just one diet?

Here’s how I keep taco night healthy AND versatile:
🌮 Classic tacos for the kids (shells + grass-fed beef + cheese + salsa)
🥗 Taco salad for me (romaine + beef + avocado + cilantro sauce + salsa verde)
🌽 Corn tortillas for anyone who prefers that option

The beauty? Same core ingredients, endless variations to meet different needs—low-carb, gluten-free, or just extra-hungry!

Ingredients on the table: grass-fed ground beef, chopped romaine, salsa + salsa verde, sour cream, cheese, cilantro sauce, avocado, taco shells, and corn tortillas.

Taco night → no stress, no separate meals, just one setup that works for everyone. 🙌

Would you go taco 🌮 or taco salad 🥗?

✨ Losing weight in perimenopause feels different—and that’s because it is. ✨
Shifting hormones, a slower metabolism, and more belly fat can make old strategies fall flat.

But here’s the truth: with the right approach—focusing on diet, hormone health, and exercise—you can see results and feel like yourself again. 💪

I just shared a new blog post breaking down what really works (and what doesn’t) for perimenopausal weight loss. Click the link in bio to read it or copy and paste: https://www.wellwithannie.com/blog/weight-loss-in-perimenopause-what-works-and-what-doesnt

A Thoughtful Weekend Treat 🍓
I created this Sparkle Berry Margarita as a fun, feel-good option for clients who want to enjoy a cocktail or mocktail without veering off course. It’s light, refreshing, and made with real ingredients—no added sugar, no unnecessary fillers. Just something simple and nourishing you can enjoy without second guessing. Because finding balance includes making space for small moments of joy, too.

🍓 Sparkle Berry Margarita (Mixtails Edition)

Ingredients:
• 1 packet Mixtails Margarita Powder Mix
• 6 oz sparkling water (lime or plain)
• 1.5 oz silver tequila (optional for mocktail: skip or use coconut water)
• 4–5 fresh raspberries
• 1–2 strawberry slices
• ½ oz fresh lime juice
• Ice
• Garnish: Lime wheel, fresh raspberries, and mint sprig



Instructions:
1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the raspberries and strawberry slices lightly.
2. Add the Mixtails Margarita mix, fresh lime juice, and tequila (if using).
3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10 seconds.
4. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
5. Top with sparkling water for a bubbly finish.
6. Garnish with a lime wheel, mint, and a few extra berries on top.

✨Let’s Talk GLP-1s & Functional Nutrition✨

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro can be incredible tools to help quiet food noise and reduce appetite — but they’re not a silver bullet.

If you’re on a peptide protocol (or considering it), it’s critical to pair it with a dialed-in nutrition plan. Why? Because without enough protein, proper macros, and movement that supports muscle mass, you could be doing your metabolism more harm than good.

As a functional nutritionist, I help clients:
✔️ Maintain lean muscle while losing fat
✔️ Create sustainable eating habits
✔️ Improve energy, digestion & hormonal balance
✔️ Feel empowered in their wellness journey — not restricted

Peptides can help open the door. But what you do on the other side is where the magic happens.✨

💬 DM me if you’re using GLP-1s and want support in making the most of them — or if you’re curious about how to do it the right way.

✨ 3 ways I’m defying top trends to stay truly healthy this summer — as a Functional Nutritionist who’s all about real life and real results.

💛
1️⃣ I’m eating ALL the fruit.
Not stressing over carbs in berries or stone fruits — because fiber, antioxidants & microbiome diversity matter way more. Summer peaches from the farmers market? Yes please.

2️⃣ More functional movement.
Balancing my strength training with pool days, soccer with my boys & walks in the sunshine. Because variety is a gift to your body (and your sanity).

3️⃣ Still enjoying the occasional cocktail or mocktail — guilt-free.
My go-to? A skinny margarita with Mixtails. Zero sugar, just 5 cals, clean ingredients. Health is about balance, not perfection.

Ready to ditch the trends & feel your best this summer? 🌸

👇 Double-tap if this resonates, save for inspo, or DM me if you want to dial in your anti-inflammatory lifestyle!
