info_outlineIn this episode of Fit Girl Magic, I'm excited to share with you what it takes to form healthy habits, especially for us women over 40 who often face unique challenges like menopausal symptoms and the baggage from years of serial dieting.
I'm going to break down for you the absolute importance of truly understanding your own lifestyle and finding a sustainable way to eat and live in a healthy way. You'll even get a glimpse into my personal experience with veganism and why I believe consistency is the key to building new routines, all while allowing for that wonderful flexibility to savor life's special moments.
One thing that can't be emphasized enough is the crucial role of building and maintaining muscle mass through strength training as we gracefully age. I also dive into the frustrations many of us face with the slower results from dieting and the relentless pressure you put on yourself to meet your goals.
But here's the twist: I'm here to recommend why you steer clear of restrictive diets and instead opt for a more balanced approach to food. I'm a firm believer in seasonal living, and I'll introduce you to a 90-day approach to nutrition and lifestyle adaptations. Plus, we'll discuss the importance of syncing our workouts with hormonal changes during perimenopause and why it might be time to rethink those intense training sessions.
Now, when it comes to self-care, I can't stress enough how critical it is to prioritize rest and sleep for better health and workout outcomes. I'll even share some tips on creating a soothing bedtime routine, much like the ones you’ve done for your own children. Contrary to popular belief, those hardcore workout regimes aren't always the answer, and I'll encourage you to assess the effectiveness of your current routines.
I'll wrap things up by revealing my own dietary non-negotiables, including a consistent intake of protein and vegetables, and how meal planning and tracking can be tailored to suit your personal preferences.
And finally, for those of you looking for a structured approach to lasting change, I'll introduce you to the Lifestyle 66 program. Be sure to visit the program link in the show notes for more information. Trust me, you won't want to miss it! Tune in now, for healthier, happier you.
