Leah lost over 13kg.. Before this, she was stuck. Doing all the things, getting nowhere. Weight wouldn’t move, energy was low, hormones all over the place. So we stripped it back. Focused on food, habits, consistency, and actually understanding what her body needed instead of guessing. That’s where things changed.
In this episode, she shares what finally clicked, what she found hard, and the few things that made the biggest difference. If you feel like nothing is working anymore, listen to this.

A protein target is only useful if you can actually eat it.

So rather than obsessing over the perfect number today, start with meal distribution.

Which meal is weakest?

For many women it is breakfast or lunch.

Upgrade that meal first. Add a proper protein source and see what happens to hunger later in the day.

Then build from there.

Inside Metabolic Reset I personalise the number, food choices and meal structure around your calorie needs and lifestyle.

Save this and do the 7-day audit before you change your diet again.

The biggest mistake I see is changing five things at once because the scale has not moved fast enough.

Then we have no idea which change helped, which one made hunger worse and which one was completely unnecessary.

Your first job is to understand your baseline:
protein • total intake • steps • strength • sleep • hunger • weekends.

Once you know where the gap is, pick ONE priority.

This is exactly how I work with clients inside Metabolic Reset. We make targeted changes, give them enough time to work and review the result together every week.

Eating less and adding more cardio, but your weight still isn’t moving?

That’s frustrating, especially when you’re already putting in the work.

In perimenopause, poor sleep, changing body composition and the way you’re eating and training can all affect how you feel and what you see on the scale. Cutting more food every time progress slows can leave you hungry, tired and struggling to stay consistent.

Start with the basics you can actually repeat: meals with enough protein, strength training you can recover from, regular movement and support for symptoms that are disrupting your sleep. Then look at your progress over weeks, not one weigh-in.

Have you heard that stress can “steal” your progesterone?

I get why that catches your attention. You’re waking at 3 am, feeling anxious, and your cycle is doing whatever it likes. You want to understand what’s going on.

Here’s what I look at with women in perimenopause: Are you ovulating regularly? How are you sleeping? Are you eating enough? How much stress are you carrying, and are you recovering from your training?

Progesterone rises after ovulation, and ovulation can become less predictable in perimenopause. Stress and broken sleep can make this whole stage feel harder to manage. Looking at the full picture gives us somewhere useful to start.

Eating less, training harder, and watching the scale climb? I know how frustrating that feels.

If you’re in perimenopause, take a look at the whole picture. Broken sleep can make hunger harder to manage. A lunch that leaves you starving by 4 pm may need more protein. And one weigh-in can’t tell you whether you’ve gained body fat.

Start with one question: What’s making this harder for me right now? Sleep, meals, training and symptoms all deserve a look. You need a plan that works with your actual life.

Why does cutting calories feel like it stops working in perimenopause?

You eat less. The scales barely move. So you cut more.

Meanwhile, you’re sleeping badly, feeling hungrier, and struggling to get through the day. Sound familiar?

Perimenopause can bring changes in sleep and where your body stores fat. Muscle also tends to decline with age, especially if you’re doing little strength training. And if you’ve been dieting hard for years, another round of eating less can be tough to stick with.

Calories still matter. Eating as little as possible isn’t a plan you can live with.

Start here:

• Eat regular meals with enough protein.
• Add strength training at a level that works for you.
• Keep walking and moving through the week.
• Take poor sleep and symptoms seriously.
• Look at what you can do consistently before cutting more food.

If your weight has changed and you feel like you’re doing all the “right” things, you deserve a proper look at the whole picture.
