Women are not small men.

But the majority of recommendations we follow are from research based on men (women are "too complicated" apparently 😑).

Remember – being a woman is magic.

✨ You are magic ✨

And knowing the ins and outs of your menstrual cycle will help you balance your hormones, lose fat, build lean muscle, get and stay into the best shape of your life.

Are you making these mistakes? ✖️ MISTAKE #1:

Are you making these mistakes?

✖️ MISTAKE #1: Skipping breakfast or eating a high-carb breakfast.
Do you start your day with a cup of coffee and then coast until lunch? Or grab a quick snack like avo on toast?

That’s a good way to drive your stress hormones up, & your metabolism down. Eat more in the morning!

Morning protein intake hugely affects afternoon calorie intake as it dictates your ability to control your blood sugars (and therefore cravings and energy) for the entire day so commit to a balanced breakfast with 30g of protein daily.

✖️ MISTAKE #2: Rushing through your meals.
Most people don’t take the time to eat seated and to thoroughly chew their food.

We eat standing up, hunched over the stove, attempting that frantic “chew and cool the food down with an open mouth at the same time” manoeuvre. A recipe for gas and bloat!

Your teeth begin the mechanical breakdown of food and your saliva contains enzymes that begin the chemical breakdown of your food so chew each bite until it’s the consistency of a smoothie.

✖️ MISTAKE #3: Jumping from diet to diet, or just trying to diet HARDER.

Women often make the mistake of trying a million different diets, cutting calories and going harder, only to end up feeling like they’ve tried EVERYTHING, and that NOTHING works for them!

When you learn how to nourish your body in a way that supports your metabolism, gut, hormones and genes, you’ll be able to reach your goals and sustain them. You’ll finally be able to get rid of bloating, PMS, excess weight, painful periods, cravings, and fatigue.

Do you ever feel low in energy by mid-afternoon?

Do you ever feel low in energy by mid-afternoon?

The chocolate bar or the second, third, or fourth cup of coffee is suddenly irresistible right? 😬

I get it. I've been there.

There are many reasons why we feel less energetic in the afternoon.

In part, it’s physiological: our normal circadian cycle dictates a period of sleepiness or decreased alertness in the afternoon.

But other causes (and ones within our control) are:
Too much caffeine in the AM ☕
Not enough sleep 😴
Blood sugar imbalances 🎢
Excessive stress 🤯
Dehydration💧
Underlying health conditions 🤒

So what do you do to avoid it?

Here are 7 tips to avoid an afternoon energy crash:
👉 Expose your eyes to early morning sunlight.
👉 Fuel your body with the right type of food.
👉 Don't skip meals.
👉 Drink coffee 90 minutes after waking.
👉 Make sure you drink enough water.
👉 Consider a standing desk (I use @workfromhomedesksnz)
👉 Address underlying conditions.

Which ones do you do? And which ones will you try?
