Podcasts about Restriction

"Lindsey, I hate my stomach. I can't stop thinking about it. It's ruining my day, my mood, my recovery. What do I do?" If your stomach is your biggest trigger in recovery - if you can't stop looking at it, obsessing over whether it looks bigger, spiraling every time you see your reflection - this episode is for you, girlfriend. Host Lindsey Nichol gets real about stomach hate in recovery and shares something her client needed to hear today: "I may not love my stomach every day, but if I'm being honest? I didn't love my stomach every day when I was in the trenches of my eating disorder either." So here's the question: Which hard do you want? Hard #1: Hating your stomach while you're restricting, obsessing, body checking, over-exercising, and missing your life. Hard #2: Sometimes not loving your stomach, but being FREE. Living your life. Eating with family. Being present. Having energy. Both are hard. But only one leads to freedom. In this episode, Lindsey shares her own stomach struggles - how she used to search for evidence it was "blowing up," how it would send her into spirals of restriction and over-exercise, and what she does NOW on the days when she doesn't love her stomach. Plus, she gives you 7 practical tools you can use on your hardest days. This is real talk with practical help. No toxic positivity. No "just love yourself." Just honest truth and actionable tools for when your stomach triggers you. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Lindsey's Stomach Story: The Disorder Days How she was super conscious of her stomach feeling or looking bigger Searching for evidence it was "blowing up" - every mirror, reflection, window The spirals: restriction, over-exercise, mood switches Feeling out of control and reacting - being short or avoidant with loved ones How stomach hate controlled her entire day, every day The Truth Bomb: Choose Your Hard Hard #1: Hating your stomach while trapped in the eating disorder Hard #2: Sometimes not loving your stomach but being FREE The reality: Even at her lowest weight, Lindsey STILL didn't love her stomach The question: What other options do you have? Why you have to choose which hard you want to live with Why the Stomach Specifically? Why the stomach is such an easy target for self-criticism How society and social media have trained us to hate our stomachs Why the stomach becomes the "safe" target instead of dealing with real feelings The truth: Restriction makes stomach issues WORSE (digestion, bloating) Reality check: Stomachs are SUPPOSED to change throughout the day Aren't stomachs supposed to be FULL? That's their job What Lindsey Does NOW on Hard Days Wears baggy clothes, not restrictive clothing Avoids opportunities to stare in the mirror and body check Reminds herself of the truth: stomachs are allowed to change Thinks about her little girl self who never cared about her stomach Remembers being pregnant and LOVING watching her stomach grow Accepts that not loving her stomach doesn't mean she's failed The Shift That Changed Everything The realization: She was NEVER going to like her stomach at any size or weight Her stomach wasn't the problem - it was a tool for self-sabotage Used stomach hate when feeling out of control or "not enough" The only way through was acceptance and perspective shift Understanding that stomach hate is usually about something else entirely 7 Tools for Your Hardest Days Stop the Body Checking - Walk away from mirrors, put on baggy clothes Ask the Real Question - What am I really feeling? What am I avoiding? Function Over Form - Your stomach digests food, that's its job Remember Your Little Girl Self - You didn't care about your stomach as a kid Choose Your Hard - Trapped and hating it OR free and sometimes not loving it Wear Comfortable Clothes - Stop punishing yourself with restrictive clothing Talk Back to the Voice - "My stomach is allowed to change and that's okay" Key Takeaways: ✨ You didn't love your stomach in the disorder either - so what are you really choosing? ✨ There are two hards: choose yours - trapped with stomach hate OR free with occasional stomach discomfort ✨ Your stomach is not the problem - it's a symptom, a distraction from real feelings ✨ Restriction makes stomach issues WORSE - bloating, digestion problems increase with restriction ✨ Stomachs are supposed to change - throughout the day, after meals, when sitting vs standing ✨ The stomach is an easy target - easier to hate your stomach than deal with underlying fears ✨ You'll never be satisfied at any size - if stomach hate is really about control and self-sabotage ✨ Body checking makes it worse - the more you look, the more you spiral ✨ Function over form - your stomach's job is to digest food, not be flat 24/7 ✨ Little girl you didn't care - the goal isn't loving your stomach, it's living without it controlling you ✨ You don't have to love it to live - freedom doesn't require stomach love, just stomach acceptance Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "I may not love my stomach every day, but if I'm being honest? I didn't love my stomach every day when I was in the trenches of my eating disorder either" "Your stomach is a huge pain point in recovery. I get it. I've been there. It's real, it's valid, and it's one of the hardest parts" "I would search - like literally SEARCH - for evidence that it was blowing up" "My mood would switch on a dime. I'd feel totally out of control" "Your stomach doesn't have to control you. It doesn't have to dictate your mood, your choices, or your day" "Both are hard. But which hard do you want?" "Even at my lowest weight, I STILL didn't love my stomach. Even then. Even at my sickest" "So what other options do you have? Stay in the disorder and hate your stomach, or recover and sometimes not love it but have your LIFE back" "The stomach is easy for us to tear ourselves apart over" "Restriction makes stomach issues WORSE. When you're not eating enough, your digestion slows down. You get more bloated" "Aren't stomachs supposed to be full? That's their job. To hold food. To digest. To nourish you" "I was never going to like my stomach. No matter my size. No matter my weight" "Hating my stomach wasn't actually about my stomach. It was just a part of me that I used to self-sabotage when I felt out of control or not enough" "When you hate your stomach, ask yourself: What am I really afraid of right now?" "99% of the time, it's not actually your stomach" "You don't have to love your stomach to live your life. You don't have to love your stomach to recover" "Your stomach is not the enemy. Your stomach is just a stomach. It's allowed to exist. It's allowed to change. It's allowed to be full" "Choose your hard, girlfriend. Choose freedom" The 7 Tools Explained: Tool #1: Stop the Body Checking When you feel the urge to look in the mirror, pull your shirt tight, or analyze your stomach - STOP. Literally stop. Walk away. Do something else. Put on baggy clothes. The more you body check, the worse the obsession gets. Tool #2: Ask the Real Question Stop asking "Why does my stomach look like this?" and start asking "What am I really feeling right now? What am I avoiding?" Get to the root. Your stomach is almost never the actual problem. Common real feelings underneath stomach hate: Feeling out of control in some area of life Fear about something coming up Feeling "not enough" in comparison to others Anxiety about a situation Avoiding deeper emotional work Tool #3: Function Over Form Remind yourself: Your stomach digests food. It nourishes you. It expands when you eat because that's its JOB. It's not supposed to be flat 24/7. That's not realistic, healthy, or even possible. Tool #4: Remember Your Little Girl Self You didn't care about your stomach as a kid. You just lived. You played. You ate. You didn't analyze your body. THAT is the goal - not loving your stomach every day, just LIVING without it controlling you. Also remember: When you were pregnant (if applicable), you LOVED watching your stomach grow. You celebrated what your body could do. Why do you hate it now? Tool #5: Choose Your Hard On the hard days, say this out loud: "I can hate my stomach and be trapped in restriction, obsession, and isolation - OR I can sometimes not love my stomach but be FREE to live my life. Which hard do I want?" Tool #6: Wear Comfortable Clothes Stop punishing yourself with restrictive clothing. Stop wearing things that make you hyper-aware of your stomach all day. Wear what feels good. Your comfort matters more than how your stomach looks. Baggy clothes aren't "giving up" - they're choosing peace. Tool #7: Talk Back to the Voice When that critical voice says "Your stomach is too big," you talk back with truth: "My stomach is allowed to change" "My stomach is doing its job" "My stomach does not define my worth" "I didn't love my stomach at my lowest weight either, so this isn't about size" "Stomachs are supposed to be full" Questions to Reflect On: About Your Stomach Hate: When did you first start hating your stomach? What do you do when you hate your stomach? (body check, restrict, over-exercise, avoid people?) Does hating your stomach actually solve anything? Did you love your stomach at your lowest weight? (Be honest) About the Real Feelings: What are you REALLY feeling when you hate your stomach? What are you avoiding by focusing on your stomach? When does stomach hate show up most? (after meals, stressful situations, comparison moments?) What would happen if you couldn't focus on your stomach anymore - what would you have to deal with? About Your Choices: Which hard do you want: trapped and hating it OR free and sometimes not loving it? What is stomach hate costing you? (relationships, experiences, peace, presence?) What would change if your stomach wasn't your focus anymore? Are you ready to stop letting your stomach control your life? About Your Little Girl Self: When was the last time you thought about your body the way you did as a little girl? What would little-girl-you think about how much time you spend hating your stomach? What did you do with your time before stomach hate consumed you?

I'm currently visiting family in Connecticut where I grew up. I was here until I went off to college and then I moved back for about a year before I moved west to go to graduate school. Connecticut has been a witness to every stage of my food recovery.

Should students have to give up their phones during class?

This month is special because you get to hear from our Sisters in Loss Birth, Bereavement and Postpartum Doulas! Yes, you get to hear the ladies share their testimonies and stories to motherhood and why they became Sisters in Loss doulas and how they liked the course.

Causes of intrauterine growth restriction vary but include placenta abnormalities, high blood pressure in the mother, infections, and smoking or alcohol abuse. With this condition, a baby is born weighing less than 90 percent of other babies at the same gestational age. Today's guest experienced two early miscarriages, and determined to become a mother lost over 130 pounds in hopes of reducing any barriers to having a healthy baby. Laura Gooch Brown was able to conceive a baby boy Jaden and during the last trimester they were diagnosed with Intrauterine Growth Restriction and Jaden would not survive. In this episode she recalls her specialists visits for different opinions and received the same prognosis. During a scheduled amniocentesis she learned that Jaden's heart had stopped and she had to deliver him the following day. Laura shares in this episode what it was like during her two year wait to conceive her rainbow baby boy Jordan, her pregnancy and delivery with him, and how she is giving back to her community by becoming a Sisters in Loss Birth and Bereavement Doula.

What if healing isn't about cutting more out of your life — but about what you choose to add back in? In this conversation, I sit down with registered dietitian Noa Miller to explore how nutrition and mind-body work can come together to support chronic health conditions. We discuss how stress, emotional repression, and restrictive mindsets around food can keep the body in a state of tension — and how curiosity, nourishment, and regulation help it return to balance. Noa shares her own journey through surgery, autoimmune illness, and the search for a sustainable approach to healing. Together, Noa and I unpack the complex relationship between body, food, and emotion, offering a grounded, compassionate look at what real healing requires. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of: Why restriction and quick fixes rarely work long-term How emotional awareness and nervous system regulation affect digestion and inflammation Ways to approach nutrition with flexibility, curiosity, and joy The power of integrating medical, emotional, and spiritual care

I've been reflecting recently on how much I talk here about the reasons food behaviors like binge eating have nothing to do with the food, but the state you're eating the food in. As I've explored here many times, there are so many somatic, trauma, and nervous system layers to your food patterns. But part of food recovery has to include explorations around food itself. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: How food can be a role model for the felt sense of safetyWhy eating is a somatic practice What to look out for when using food as a safety cue How to know when you're ready for this kind of somatic practice You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-food-choices-can-remind-your-body-how-to-feel-safeThis current Somatic Eating® Program class is already filling up! In the Somatic Eating® Program:Receive weekly live classes for 3 months3 Somatic Eating® Community Meals to practice what you're learningDiscover a somatic, trauma, nervous system, and nutritional approach to food behaviors like binge eating, chronic emotional eating, yo yo dieting, restriction, and body image concernsIncrease your understanding of your body through my Safety-Satiety Sequence to create a safe, secure, and satiated relationship with foodIf you can't attend the live classes, all calls are recorded to watch the replay and you can reach out between classes in a group space for additional support.There are 12 days left to sign up and I would love to get to connect with you for the next 3 months exploring your food patterns together. Sign up here: https://www.somaticeating.com/I hope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

When you work on stopping binge eating, how you think changes. You think differently about food, yourself, bodies, and so many other things. But unfortunately, the people around you might not. They might be saying so many things that you USED to think but you don't anymore.

Body Love Binge Q&A Episode - Mental Restriction, Emotions & Recovery NavigationIn this Q&A episode recorded from our wellness suite (complete with my gorgeous dog joining me!), I answer real questions from my Body Love Binge group coaching Queens. We dive deep into mental restriction, emotional regulation, navigating weight gain around family, and so much more.Key Quotes from the Episode:

Kevin cuts straight to the heart of what true transformation actually is in this episode: spiritual movement - the inner work that rewrites your perception and, in doing so, rewires the Matrix you live inside. This isn't about hustling harder or rearranging circumstances. It's about changing the film you project so the movie of your life stops repeating the same lessons.Kevin opens by clarifying a crucial distinction: physical movement is the visible result - bodies, objects, and events shifting in space. Spiritual movement happens first; it's the shift in thought, intention, and perception that rearranges the hologram and yields new outcomes. You, as the localized center of consciousness, are the projector. Your energy is the continuous light; your conditioning is the film. Change the film, and the projection changes.He names two concrete, difficult practices that create spiritual movement. First: decision-making. Decisions don't require physical effort, but they require courage. Making a choice injects certainty into your intention - not certainty of the outcome, but certainty of direction. Kevin uses the Alan Watts anecdote to show why mental choices are harder than manual labor: the mind resists because it must face infinite data, doubt, and imagination. Choosing anyway turns on a little light in the dark room of amnesia and lets the hologram begin to shift.Second: restriction. Kevin frames restriction as transforming reactivity - interrupting the habit of instant gratification (fight, flight, freeze) and converting it into a non-reactive, present pause. That pause - the space between feeling and action - is where you process, not react. Buffering, lashing out, fleeing into distractions, or numbing keeps you replaying the same film. Restriction is ego-death from the ego's view, but it's spiritual growth from the center's perspective: it stops old patterns and lets a new film be loaded.He connects these practices back into the Alpha Male Coach foundations: the spiritual blueprint (remembering who you are) and the Matrix curriculum (seeing how your projections create systems that now master you). The aim isn't escape - it's evolution: awake to your role as projector, choose with authority, restrict the reactive pattern, and then follow through. Action and follow-through - keeping your word - are the third pillar of indomitable self-confidence and the engine that turns decision into real-world change.Throughout the episode Kevin gives practical imagery - the dark room with every treasure already inside, the projector-screen-film analogy, and the pause between F-line and A-line - so listeners can apply this immediately. This episode is a call to stop editing the screen and start changing the film. Do the inner work: decide, restrict, follow through - and watch the hologram rearrange itself to serve you.

Binge eating is more than just feeling out of control with food.It's constantly thinking about food 24/7 and whether you should order the pizza or the pasta for dinner. Whether you should have the cookie or be "good" and have some fruit. Whether you ate enough protein & veggies for the day.It's having a love/hate relationship with food. It's your best friend and your enemy at the same time. You love how good it makes you feel. How it gives you so much comfort, relief and pleasure while also hating how it's one of the most pleasurable aspects of your day.It's using food to cope with every emotion you feel. You're stressed, sad, happy, lonely, bored?... you eat.Inside this episode I discuss the full spectrum of what an unhealthy relationship with food looks like and how it goes way beyond just feeling out of control with food.JOIN MY ROOT & REWIRE MEMBERSHIP

ROOT & REWIRE MEMBERSHIPYour partner, family members, co workers & friends don't understand binge eating & I know how frustrating it can be when you hear:

Michelle starts by naming the experience so many listeners know well: the panicky, out-of-control feeling around “forbidden” foods that seems to prove you're an addict. She traces where that story came from—the early 2000s brain-scan headlines—and why “lights up the reward pathways” doesn't equal addiction (music, hugs, laughter, and puppy greetings light them up, too). From there, she walks through what the evidence does show:Dopamine ≠ addiction: Dopamine is about motivation and learning (“That was satisfying; remember that”), not proof of a hijacked brain. Drug-induced dopamine spikes are extreme and rewiring; food-related responses are moderate and self-limiting.What the rat studies actually found: Binge-like behavior appears when access to sugar is restricted and then reintroduced; with free access, intake levels out. In humans, dieting and moralizing foods replicate this deprivation-binge pattern.Addiction criteria don't fit food: Medical addiction involves tolerance, withdrawal syndromes, persistent use despite harm, and inability to cut down. Systematic reviews report that foods don't meet those criteria. Food is also essential—abstinence-based models don't translate.Michelle then maps the very human reasons it feels like addiction:Restriction & deprivation (physical and mental) create scarcity, obsession, and urgency.Emotional reliance on food as a primary coping tool can look compulsive—but it's coping, not character failure.Learned urgency/“last-supper” eating when a food is allowed only during a “slip.”She also names the harm of the addiction label: added shame, escalation to stricter restriction (which worsens the cycle), and attention pulled away from the real drivers—diet mentality, unmet needs, and nervous-system dysregulation.From there, the episode offers a compassionate, evidence-aligned path forward:Lift the ban with unconditional permission to eat (expect an initial “pendulum swing”; it settles as scarcity fades).Practice food neutrality (take the moral charge out of foods).Pursue satisfaction so you can actually register “enough.”Support your nervous system (capacity first; choice follows).Add coping tools beyond food (connection, creativity, movement, rest).Reframe the story: from “I'm addicted” to “Restriction is making me feel out of control; my body is protecting me.”Stay ConnectedIf this episode helped, follow/subscribe so you don't miss the rest of the series.

In this candid Q&A episode, I answer real questions from my Body Love Binge group coaching members. I tackle the tough topics around eating disorder recovery with my signature no-BS compassion and practical wisdom - recorded spontaneously while my husband took our baby out to test the new pushchair!Key Quotes from the Episode:"Going all in isn't a behaviour you can measure. Going all in is how you show up internally - and it's all about what is manageable for YOU.""Restriction isn't an action, it's a state of mind. If you have a restrictive mind, anything will be turned into a diet.""Recovery is the foundation of the rest of your life. It's not the finish line.""The only difference between a dream and a goal is a plan and the belief that it's gonna happen.""When you're fully recovered, other people's behaviors around food and exercise won't affect you anymore. You'll be completely free."What I Cover in This Episode:• Managing panic zone vs stretch zone - How to take recovery actions without re-traumatising yourself and why staying in your comfort zone won't work• Intuitive eating vs intuition eating - Why I don't use traditional intuitive eating guidelines and my approach to eating for pure pleasure• Breaking free from food habits and rules - How to stop turning hunger/fullness into another diet and why eating the same foods can be perfectly fine• Making room for cake - Permission to eat less nutritious food to save space for treats you're excited about• Signs of true recovery - Physical, mental, and emotional markers that show you've reached full freedom (plus what to do with your life after recovery)• Dealing with ED voice arguing back - Why the eating disorder might get louder deeper in recovery and how to handle the internal negotiations• Making regular eating non-negotiable - Practical strategies for consistent eating when you're full, emotional, or overwhelmed by meal prep• Body image in recovery - Moving from body hate to neutrality to unconditional love, and why you don't have to like how you look to be free• Living with a fitness-obsessed partner - How to protect your recovery when your partner's exercise and food behaviours are triggering• Recovery isn't linear - Understanding that setbacks and challenges are part of the process, not signs of failureMy approach combines trauma-informed recovery principles with practical, real-world strategies that honour where each person is in their unique journey toward food and body freedom.

What if the key to women's health isn't another diet, another supplement, or another label, but a radical return to nourishment, self-trust, and listening to your body? In this powerful episode of the Know Better | Do Better podcast, Autumn sits down with Jessica Ash, a leading voice in women's health and nutrition, to expose the cultural myths keeping women stuck in cycles of restriction, burnout, and self-doubt. Jessica shares her own journey through hormonal challenges and the lessons she learned about true nourishment, the nervous system's role in health, and how healing begins when women finally stop outsourcing their intuition. As A functional nutritionist and integrative health coach, she's on a mission to change the way women think and feel about their bodies.

I had no plan to record, but the download was strong, so here it is: raw, real, and straight from my heart.I'm talking about habits — what they actually are, why they form, and how to truly shift them in recovery (without fighting yourself).So many of my clients worry that bingeing, emotional eating, or dessert-after-dinner will become “bad habits.” But here's the truth: when you heal the root cause, habits fall away naturally. They stop being needed.In this episode I share:✨ The difference between habits and routines (and why it matters in recovery)✨ How your brain wires habits — and how to rewire them with choice✨ Why forcing yourself out of ED habits never works long-term✨ The “swap, don't stop” principle that makes change easier✨ Why allowance and self-trust create freedom

Send us a textThe effects of protein restriction on metabolism, liver hormones, brain, and behavior.Episode Summary: Dr. Christopher Morrison talks about how animals sense and prioritize nutrients like protein, discussing defense mechanisms for essentials such as oxygen, water, sodium, and energy; the brain's role in detecting protein deprivation via signals like FGF21; trade-offs between growth, reproduction, and longevity under protein restriction; and reconciling high-protein diets for satiety and muscle maintenance with low-protein benefits for metabolic health and lifespan extension.About the guest: Christopher Morrison, PhD is a professor and researcher at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he has worked for over 22 years focusing on nutrition, metabolism, and chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes.Discussion Points:The body prioritizes nutrients hierarchically: oxygen and water first, then sodium, energy, and protein, with weaker defenses for carbs or fats.Animals develop specific appetites for deprived nutrients, like salt or protein, often through post-ingestive learning rather than just taste.Protein restriction (e.g., 5% vs. 20% in diets) increases food intake and energy expenditure in mice to maintain protein levels, even at the cost of extra calories.FGF21, a liver hormone, signals protein deprivation to the brain (via NTS region), driving protein-seeking behavior and metabolic changes; it's essential for low-protein responses.Protein restriction extends lifespan in lab animals by suppressing growth signals like IGF-1 and mTOR, but may impair immunity or wound healing in real-world conditions.High protein aids satiety, weight loss, and muscle building, but overconsumption may shorten lifespan; optimal intake depends on age, activity, and goals (e.g., not for pregnant or elderly).No one-size-fits-all for protein: mild restriction may benefit middle-aged sedentary people for health, while athletes need more; balance avoids excesses.Related content:M&M 106: Diet, Macronutrients, Micronutrients, Taste, Whole vs. Processed Food, Obesity & Weight Loss, Comparative Biology of Feeding Behavior | Stephen Simpson & David Raubenheimer*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

"You can accomplish feeling like the best version of yourself no matter what age you are. It's very different than all the approaches we're hearing out there." - Nagina Abdullah Nagina Abdullah is a leading weight loss coach specializing in empowering women in midlife to achieve lasting health transformations. As the founder of the renowned website MasalaBody.com, she has personally coached over 1,500 women to successfully lose weight permanently by optimizing their metabolism. Utilizing her background in molecular and cell biology from UC Berkeley, Nagina combines scientific principles with practical lifestyle changes, including strategic use of metabolism-boosting foods and spices. Episode Summary: In this episode of "Oh, My Health... There Is Hope!" host Jana Short welcomes Nagina Abdullah, a prolific weight loss coach renowned for her expertise in helping midlife women achieve sustainable weight loss. Nagina discusses the science-backed strategies she uses to boost metabolism, address sugar cravings, and guide women toward a healthier lifestyle. She shares her personal journey of overcoming weight loss challenges and how she engineered a lifestyle shift for herself after experiencing menopause-induced weight gain. The conversation delves into actionable insights on dietary strategies that focus on increasing protein intake and understanding the role of metabolism-boosting foods. Nagina emphasizes that traditional dieting and calorie restriction can be counterproductive, especially during midlife. She offers practical advice on incorporating healthy foods and spices into daily meals. Nagina also introduces her upcoming five-day metabolism boost event as an opportunity for women to learn and transform their health journey, focusing on practical, sustainable changes that align with life's demands. Key Takeaways: Nagina Abdullah emphasizes the importance of boosting metabolism through the strategic addition of nutritious foods rather than restrictive dieting. Incorporating 30 grams of protein per meal is crucial to stabilizing blood sugar, reducing sugar cravings, and promoting sustainable weight loss in midlife. The transition into menopause requires a revised approach to dieting, focusing on metabolism and anti-inflammatory foods to counteract hormonal changes. Midlife dietary approaches should aim to maintain steady blood sugar levels, counteracting the body's tendency towards insulin resistance. Nagina Abdullah's five-day metabolism boost event will provide live teachings on sustainable weight loss strategies specifically tailored for women in midlife.   Resources: Website: https://MasalaBody.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/masalabody/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/nagina.abdullah/ LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nagina-abdullah/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/masalabody Join her in her active Slim Down for Midlife women FREE community here: https://www.skool.com/slimdown ‌ You are invited to the exclusive 5-Day Metabolism Boost for Midlife Women, starting on September 8! http://myrootabl.com/r/mltIVJtS?rootabl=jana   Join Nagina in the 5-Day Metabolism Boost Workshop for Midlife Women—you'll learn her science-backed morning routine, discover metabolism-activating spices, and master her proprietary Fat-Burning Food Framework to jumpstart sustainable fat loss—without deprivation or extreme diets.
