The Truth About Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss in Perimenopause and Menopause If you've been doing intermittent fasting and not losing weight in perimenopause or menopause, or worse, you're actually gaining...this episode is going to explain exactly why. And I promise you. It's not because you're not fasting long enough. Intermittent fasting has real research behind it. But here's what nobody tells you: most of that research was done on men and younger women with stable hormones.  Not you. Not right now. And what works brilliantly for them can actively backfire for a woman whose hormones are fluctuating the way yours are in perimenopause and menopause. If you've been pushing breakfast back further and further, feeling exhausted, dealing with afternoon crashes and sugar cravings, and still not seeing results — listen to this entire episode.  You're not doing it wrong because you're not disciplined enough.  It's because nobody told you the rules changed when your hormones changed. Now you'll know. 🎁 FREE PROTEIN RECIPE: grab the high-protein, dairy-free breakfast recipe mentioned in this episode here: https://staceynicolesmith.systeme.io/55b6b168 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzy2FrAdwPQ2AaQPjQpwWHP81424aoOcM&si=Mnj4MKhAF74RaLJ9 https://linktr.ee/staceynicolesmith

The Real Reason You're Not Losing Weight in Perimenopause and Menopause (and it's not calories)

If you're struggling to lose weight during perimenopause or menopause, you may be focusing on the wrong thing.  (This is a replay of a recent fb live I did) In this episode, I explain why calories aren't always the main reason weight loss stalls during midlife and what you should be paying attention to instead. As hormones change, your body responds differently to stress, exercise, sleep, nutrition, and recovery. That's why many women find that the strategies that worked in their 20s and 30s suddenly stop working. In this episode, you'll learn: Why calorie counting isn't the whole story in perimenopause and menopause The hormonal changes that can make weight loss more challenging Common mistakes that may be keeping you stuck What to focus on to support your metabolism and lose weight more effectively Practical, sustainable strategies to work with your body instead of against it If you've been eating well, exercising consistently, and still not seeing results, this episode will help you understand what's really happening and how to move forward with confidence. ✨ If you found this episode helpful, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it with another woman navigating perimenopause or menopause.
