“The detail in how and why I needed to change my nutritional intake was easy to understand and I loved the motto to focus on ‘food first’ instead of expensive supplements.”

“I liked being able to learn what I should be eating and then get ideas on practical changes I can make to apply it”

“I was surprised by the number of changes I needed to make to my exercise regime, but it was explained clearly and simply with reasons as to why it was important to shift my focus and set new goals.”

“I found the detail about what’s happening to my body during perimenopause really informative and a realistic description of what I was experiencing.”

Actually, rather than asking “Are you eating enough protein for perimenopause?”, do you know why it’s important?

What are good sources of protein… and less desirable ones?

Consider where the protein you eat comes from.

Is it mainly from animal sources like red meat, poultry or eggs? Or do you include plant sources such as tofu, beans, peas, lentils, nuts and seeds?

Protein helps maintain muscle mass and promote feelings of fullness or satiety. It might also be able to prevent weight gain  that may come with hormonal changes.

Opting for a  food first approach to protein is preferable.

As well as being more familiar and delicious, it comes with other essential nutrients. For example, red meat also has iron and zinc in it, fish has omega-3 fats, eggs have vitamin A and D, some iron and omega-3 fats, and dairy products have calcium.

Did you know that the serves of foods from each of the five food groups changes as you pass 50? Aiming to hit these targets on most days helps you to achieve a balanced diet that will meet your nutrient requirements, which includes protein.

It is important to be selective when you plan to mix up your meal prep.

Just as we know that ultra-processed foods don’t support healthy gut bacteria, this may include heavily promoted lab-created fake meats and highly processed and refined plant protein powders.
