🥗 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

✨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!
