Vibrant Life

One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is thinking healthy eating has to mean complicated recipes, expensive ingredients, or hours in the kitchen.

The truth? Getting enough protein can be incredibly simple.

This BLT + chicken lettuce wrap is one of my go-to meals because it’s quick, satisfying, low carb, and packed with protein.

No fancy ingredients. No complicated prep. Just real food that helps keep blood sugar stable, supports muscle, and keeps me full for hours.

As a woman in perimenopause, prioritizing protein has been one of the most powerful things I’ve done for my energy, cravings, body composition, and overall health.

Simple works. Consistency beats perfection every time.

This is easily 30g protein

Recipe:
Chicken breast,cooked + shredded
Cooked and crumbled bacon
Diced avocado
Diced tomato
Organic Romaine
Homemade Ranch dressing

I use Carb Manager to track macros but with this kind of recipe I don’t do a lot of exact measuring!!

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things that used to work—but the scale won’t budge—you’re not alone.

Perimenopause and menopause can feel incredibly frustrating when it comes to weight loss. The reality is that your body is changing. Hormone shifts can impact insulin sensitivity, increase inflammation, disrupt sleep, elevate stress hormones, and make it easier to store fat (especially around the midsection).

What worked in your 30s may not work in your 40s and 50s.

That’s why calorie restriction, excessive cardio, and skipping meals often backfire during this season of life. Your body needs a different approach—one that supports your hormones, stabilizes blood sugar, prioritizes protein, builds muscle, and works with your changing physiology instead of against it.

The good news? Weight loss is still possible.

You don’t need to starve yourself, spend hours in the gym, or accept that gaining weight is “just part of aging.” You need the right strategy and support.
