Genuinely curious what you think of this
Have you followed a cycle syncing approach?
Better? Any difference?
Do you train differently based on cycle or based on how you feel on the day/how well you slept/how stressy your day was etc

I help women DITCH the fad diet and lose weight for LIFE No more "I can't have that",
No low carb, low fat... finally - a REAL LIFE DIET.
Don’t like the gym? - no probs
Don’t like classes? - ok
There may be an element of you just haven’t found something you enjoy *yet*
But I’d still do something
Time poor?
Push ups off the kitchen worktop
Squats while the kettle boils
10 min on the clock - pick 2-3 exercises
Do something
Walking is amazing - but not enough for your bones
As many as 1 in 2 women will break a bone due to osteoporosis
This image is all over social media atm (don’t know who first shared it to give credit). For good reason.
Many of the ladies we coach had never done strength training before (perhaps even intimidated by it). You won’t get bulky.
You will however get strong and increase confidence in your own ability.
Getting toned is also a nice added bonus
Most women (and especially so in mid life) are not eating enough protein.
1 egg and a slice of toast isn’t going to cut it for a meal.
Here’s a full day of eating *example* to reach +110g total
⬇️⬇️
Breakfast
200g 0% Greek yogurt, berries + 15g chia seed
Snack
2x babybel light + flat white
Lunch
Tin tuna in wholemeal sandwich
Dinner
Chicken curry & rice made with 150g chicken

Avoid these if trying to lose bodyfat - simple really 💅🏻🙄
Anyone else get the short straw? I’m only 5ft 3 (and a pinch 🤪)
Desk based? Inactive, not workout out > need less cals than you think.
Try as best you can to get steps up. Even add 1k onto your norm. Energy expenditure but more than that -mood, digestion, mobility, being alive.
Hormones. Blessed to be women 💃🏼
You don’t need to try to balance them. You don’t need a hormone plan. Or a cycle syncing anything either.
Breakfast? Who needs it anyway.. fasting is trending.
Easy way to cut cals. Tough way to make sure you can get enough protein, fats, fibre…
cutting back as much as you can during the day can also lead to heading straight for the munchies later in day..
Restaurants and takeaway portions can often be over 2000 calories. If you’re a pint sized woman like myself that could be more than your daily calories in one meal.
I’m *definitely* not saying don’t eat out - but it does take being mindful.
Lift weights. You don’t get bulky accidentally. Building muscle takes effort. And time.
Lift. Future you will thank you. Muscle helps too 💪🏻 shape, tone, sculpt but also independence.
Not getting enough fibre (or protein) > not feeling full from meals, more likely to snack and graze and open the fridge and cupboard multiple times to see it anything else will curb that sweet tooth 💃🏼
If it wasn’t at all clear. This is sarcastic.
Please please don’t avoid weights. Don’t quit your desk job. Don’t try to cycle sync workouts or food. Don’t avoid breakfast or eating out or carbs.
These ladies eat carbs. Lift weights. Eat out.
