Description

Are you stuck in the “I barely eat and still can’t lose weight” phase? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken.

In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I break down why chronic dieting and ultra-low calorie goals (like 1200 or even 1400) are sabotaging your metabolism, especially in menopause. 

We’ll talk about:

  • why your metabolism adapts and how to prime it again
  • what chronic undereating does to your hormones, energy, and muscle
  • how to calculate your real maintenance calories
  • why protein and strength training are essential in menopause
  • how to shift out of survival mode and into fat loss that actually works

 if this episode resonates, please tag me, share it with a friend, and leave a review. let’s stop the cycle of undereating and start thriving in menopause.
