What’s the Big Deal with Not Eating Enough Protein?
Not eating enough protein doesn’t just make you hungry — it slowly causes muscle loss, and that’s where the real health issues begin. Muscle is your blood sugar regulator, joint protector, metabolism booster, and hormone supporter. When you lose it, you start to gain fat more easily, struggle with energy, notice more back and joint pain, and become more vulnerable to conditions like type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis. Especially during menopause, muscle loss accelerates — but with enough protein and strength training, you can protect it and feel strong, stable, and energised for years to come
Why Fibre is the Silver Spoon to Your High-Protein Diet
When it comes to long-term metabolic health, protein and fibre are the ultimate duo: protein builds and repairs muscle, balances hormones, and boosts metabolism, while fibre slows digestion, stabilises blood sugar, supports gut health, and keeps you feeling full. Together, they regulate energy, curb cravings, and make weight management easier—especially for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.
Why Your Body Feels Different In Your 40's and 50's – and What To Do About It
As women enter their 40s and 50s, natural ageing and the hormonal changes of menopause — including drops in oestrogen and progesterone — can make it harder to build and maintain muscle, slow metabolism, increase belly fat, affect recovery, disrupt sleep and mood, and raise the risk of cardiovascular issues. The good news is that with targeted strategies like regular strength training, a high-protein, high-fibre diet, balanced daily movement, sugar moderation, and stress and sleep management, women can stabilise their metabolism, support heart and mental health, maintain strength, and create sustainable habits that protect long-term health and vitality

But it’s not just about calories — skipping meals or overeating at one sitting can slow metabolism and lead to excess body fat storage. In this post, we’ll explain what BMR is, how to find it on your Apple Watch, why spreading meals and snacks evenly throughout the day matters, and how checking food labels can help you stay aware of your calorie intake and plan meals realistically.
