It can be a battle of wills at holiday events: ⁣
⁣
you against yourself or you against grandma⁣
⁣
You’ve got to love the host who looks after her guests, trying to meet their every need so that they leave happy, well fed, and thinking they had a wonderful time. But sometimes the push to have a piece of pie can send the recipient off on a secret bender of destruction.⁣
⁣
In my latest blog, I talk about food addiction and the proven approach to keep it at bay, even if you’ve been wrestling that demon your whole life.⁣

👖 Your clothes are fitting tighter and you no l

👖 Your clothes are fitting tighter and you no longer look “skinny” in those skinny jeans.⁣
⁣
⚖️ The scale says that you are putting on pounds, but does it matter where?⁣
⁣
Perhaps you’ve heard of being shaped like a pear 🍐 (putting on weight on your hips, butt & thighs) or being apple 🍎 shaped (with the weight in your torso). We’ve been told (and science has proven) that the apple shape has higher risks of heart disease and diabetes, and this is especially true when the fat isn’t the “jiggly” kind.⁣
⁣
Reach down and pinch an inch: if you can grab it and jiggle it, its likely to be subcutaneous fat (good). If you can’t grab it or your belly is hard, this is likely visceral fat (not good). ⁣
⁣
Of course you can have both, but from a health standpoint, you want as little visceral fat as possible. Visceral fat not only leads to insulin resistance, the precursor to our rampant modern day illnesses including diabetes, heart disease and cancer, but it also increases inflammation and causes oxidative stress, two very bad things.⁣
⁣
For us women over 50 especially, who are at a higher risk for insulin resistance due to our decreasing estrogen, it is incredibly important to take steps to improve our insulin sensitivity. Coincidentally, the same food, movement & lifestyle recommendations the experts on insulin resistance suggest, are the ones that you’ll find in my programs - and I’ve got the roadmap to help you reduce BOTH types of fat. So, not only might you look better in those skinny jeans, you may also avoid those health problems we associate with aging. That’s aging awesomely. 😉⁣

Don’t do this if you are looking to lose weight!

Don’t do this if you are looking to lose weight!⁣
⁣
As I have been traveling, I see the same awful thing happening at the hotel breakfast every morning. Being a health coach and a woman who has battled weight and food addiction all my life, I really want to say something to these people but that would be so inappropriate.⁣
⁣
So I will tell you.⁣
⁣
Almost everyone goes over right away and grabs a big glass of juice, and at least one (usually more) of the other items like cereal, fruit, yogurt, or bread which they start in on. Then they order their full Irish breakfast or eggs & bacon.⁣
⁣
By starting with sugar/carbs their bodies will be requiring insulin to lower their blood glucose from the spike. That means fat burning stops and fat storage starts until it is under control. And they just started eating!⁣
⁣
The sweetness ignites carb cravings and the variety of foods offer new and exciting tastes which silence the signaling that your stomach is full & that there is more than enough fat for fuel in storage, so stop eating! And so they eat far more than they need.⁣
⁣
And then, after breakfast when insulin has finally got it under control, the cells start crying out, “Hey, where’s our food?! We’re still hungry! We didn’t get fed!” and their tummy starts to grumble, and they start looking for a snack.⁣
⁣
What’s the solution? Order a Meaty Low Carb breakfast of eggs, bacon, a meaty omelet, or gluten free sausage if available, and skip the carbs. You’ll stay full & satisfied much longer and your body will put it right to use, keeping that fat burning going. ⁣

🍩 No one is around.⁣
⁣
🍩 No one knows that you have them.⁣
⁣
🍩 They haven’t been poisoned or contaminated.⁣
⁣
How would you react to such a treat?⁣
⁣
Would you feel indifferent, like you may or may not have one, doesn’t really matter? Could you eat just one? Would they go stale in your house and have to be thrown out?⁣
⁣
For many of us with carb/sugar/food addictions, this would be an invite for a binge. All it would take is one bite, and the craving fire would be ablaze with zero chance of satisfying it. I personally would have a fierce battle with my willpower, with myself and if I didn’t flush each one down the toilet, I would eventually eat them all. And probably in record time.⁣
⁣
Donuts are one of those perfectly engineered products made up of the most addictive ingredients: sugar, flour and fat, used by the food industry to make big money from our vulnerabilities. No wonder those Krispy Kreme fundraisers are so successful.⁣
⁣
I didn’t put this here to tempt you, but rather to think about whether you might fall into the food addiction category. We all hate that word - “addiction” - but if my reaction resembles yours, that’s precisely what it is.⁣
⁣
And the good news is, there’s a simple solution to break free from it. No, that doesn’t mean that you’ll go back to donut eating in moderation. That’s precisely how other “diets” fail. You will get that monkey off your back, though, and the carb monster out of your head.⁣
⁣
I understand where you are coming from and the daily struggles we face with food. I’m here to help. I’ve got loads of free information and tools that will give you the start that you might need. See the links in my bio.⁣

😱 Do you feel like you’re constantly battling

😱 Do you feel like you’re constantly battling your carb cravings?⁣
⁣
😱 Are you gaining weight and despite your best efforts, you can’t slow it down and turn it around like you used to?⁣
⁣
😱 Are you worried that you are beginning to slide down that “hill” you only recently went over, and you are afraid you’re going to pick up the pace and fall apart?⁣
⁣
I DID TOO‼️‼️⁣
⁣
And at the time I felt so helpless and hopeless and baffled, because I thought I was doing it right. Or at least TRYING but it was so hard and I was so hungry all the time and by the end of the day, I was exhausted and my willpower was shot.⁣
⁣
I realized something that has helped me tremendously. Our bodies will do whatever it takes to survive. We can spend each day creating more obstacles for our health and speeding up the aging process, or we can clear the way to let it do its thing. When our bodies can focus on their regular routines and maintenance, rather than patching damage we’ve willingly done to it, they work amazing and we are blessed with abundant health and wellness!⁣
⁣
You CAN live with carb addiction without the carb cravings. They will subside to a vague memory with the proper approach. I’ve been there, lived it and even if I do “slip up” occasionally, it’s easy peasy to get back on track. Just a blip. No problemo.⁣
⁣
Menopausal women also need to make some adaptations because of their hormone changes to how they eat, sleep, move and relax. It’s really a very simple fix and in the long run, you’ve freed up some time to actually enjoy living for a change. It’s like a new lease on life, that puts you on a journey of healing rather than falling apart. And bonus! The scale will start to budge.⁣
⁣
I’ve got loads of free information and tools that will give you the start that you might need. I’m offering my hand ladies. Look inside to see where you are at and where you want to be. There IS a way to get there. And it just may start by taking my hand. 🧡 🥩 💪🏼⁣

THE Most Important Time of Day! 😴⁣ ⁣ Sleep

THE Most Important Time of Day! 😴⁣
⁣
Sleep is very important, I can’t say that enough. Sleep is the time when your body heals, forms memories and goes into fat burning mode.⁣
⁣
When we are sleep deprived we get cranky, hungry, impatient and crave quick fixes, like caffeine and sugar to dull the feeling of anxiety.⁣
⁣
One of my former clients messaged me to say that she had been gaining weight, and realized that she had been staying up much later than her usual bedtime, thus waking to her alarm without the sufficient sleep that she needs. Even if she wasn’t eating poorly, the added stress and cortisol would leave her insulin resistant, messing with her fat storage and burning.⁣
⁣
She was sabotaging herself, without even being aware that she was doing it.⁣
⁣
If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, check out my free Sleep Guide which is available in the Resource Library (link 🔗 in bio). You might just find the right trick you need to improve your sleep quality, leading to stronger immune health and weight loss. Yes please!🙋🏻‍♀️⁣

How to keep Meaty Low Carb on the road!⁣
⁣
I’ve been traveling for over a week and finally got a day of rest with quality WiFi, so now I’m playing catch up!⁣
⁣
On the morning I flew out, I cooked a pound of hamburger in 4 patties and sliced up the rest of my Kerrygold cheese. Fried in butter, it’s a heavenly dish. I wrapped it up and took it with me to the airport and feasted while my flight was delayed. I packed toothpicks and napkins, but next time I might grab me a fork. 🤔⁣
⁣
Burgers are a great choice when dining out, though sometimes it’s hard to order one without the bun, fries & anything else, and still pay €16.50 in a restaurant. You’ll get better value with ribs (sans sauce), steak, lamb and such. I did get a bunless bacon double cheeseburger at Five Guys that was brilliant, so I will look for them wherever I go.⁣
⁣
You can find a lot of quick fix options in a grocery store to piece together a meal, just watch the ingredients for added sugars, gluten, and vegetable or seed oils. Look for roast beef, salami, chorizo, ham, boiled eggs, salmon and eat with butter, cream cheese or sliced cheddar. I found some Serrano ham crisps at M&S that were fantastic!⁣
⁣
For breakfast on the go, I made egg coffee: whisk 3 eggs in a big mug, add coffee, cinnamon, stevia, salted Kerrygold butter and stir. Delicious and filling, especially when you have two! 😉⁣

6 Simple Swap-Out Solutions for Weight Loss⁣ ⁣

6 Simple Swap-Out Solutions for Weight Loss⁣
⁣
I think that eating Meaty Low Carb is the simplest and most effective strategy for losing weight, especially that visceral belly fat we tend to pack on after menopause.⁣
⁣
When trying to remove gluten, sugar, starches and industrial seed & vegetable oils, some people think it must be a complicated change to make, requiring fancy recipes and hard to find ingredients.⁣
⁣
Sure, you can find a low carb/keto version of darn near anything. Just Google “keto” + your favorite food and watch the recipes come flying.⁣
⁣
Here’s the quick and easy on making the switcheroo:⁣
⁣
🚫 Pasta, noodles = try zucchini noodles or butternut squash, turkey lunch meat for lasagna noodles, or my favorite… skip the noodles and enjoy the meaty sauce!⁣
⁣
🚫 Rice = try cauliflower or zucchini rice, or again… skip it!⁣
⁣
🚫 Vegetable & Seed Oils = use avocado, olive & coconut oil, butter or ghee, animal fats like tallow, lard, duck fat or bacon grease, macadamia or walnut oil⁣
⁣
🚫 Grain-based flours = try coconut flour or almond flour. You can make a great pizza crust with meat instead of dough! (🍕 recipe in my Resource Library)⁣
⁣
🚫 Sweetened drinks/juices = try mineral water, coffee, tea - try peppermint or other herbal flavors, hot or cold⁣
⁣
🚫 Sugar = Stevia (watch for sugar in the ingredients!) or erythritol⁣
⁣
Focus on meat, fish, eggs and fowl and cook with the oils suggested above and you’ll be surprised at how full and satisfied you feel. And how quickly your cravings for sweets and junk start to subside.⁣

When I went “over the hill” back at 50, it was

When I went “over the hill” back at 50, it wasn’t necessarily aging that frightened me the most as I looked ahead to the Second Half of life.⁣
⁣
It was the thought of declining, cognitively and physically, to a state of sickness and helplessness.⁣
⁣
We’ve all got to go sometime, but I want to “live long and drop dead” if I can help it.⁣
⁣
One of the things my 104.5 year old grandma, MeeMee, did faithfully every morning, was the daily word jumbles in the local paper. If she got stumped, she would ask for help from her many visitors or complete strangers she encountered, until it was solved.⁣
⁣
✅ Challenge your mind ⁣
✅ Ask for help ⁣
✅ Don’t be shy ⁣
✅ Speak to strangers ⁣
✅ Don’t give up ⁣
⁣
(There’s some MeeMee wisdom right there! Did you swipe to see her picture? 😍)⁣
⁣
There are a bajillion different puzzle apps and books out there, and even cracking open a real jigsaw puzzle works your mind. Legos are fun, too! If you feel you need productivity: build something, refurbish, landscape, organize the workbench or garage - these all require problem solving skills.⁣
⁣
Puzzles can help you in these 7 ways:⁣
⁣
🌀 They lower stress levels⁣
🌀 They improve visual and spatial reasoning⁣
🌀 They improve your memory⁣
🌀 They exercise both sides of your brain⁣
🌀 They can improve your IQ score⁣
🌀 They enhance your mood⁣
🌀 They improve your problem solving skills⁣
⁣
What language did you learn in high school? Why not use the free Duolingo app and brush up on that language. You will be surprised at how quickly it comes back and it’s a terrific way to exercise the old noggin.⁣

Often we think of self-care as a luxury, that to be a super-woman in this day and age, we have to be strong, powerful and grit through the difficult times. True, we do, but it is the self-care that powers us to do so.⁣
⁣
When we try to function from a place of burnout, exhaustion or lack of sleep, we make it almost impossible for ourselves to succeed in business, health and life.⁣
⁣
When our “cup is full” (rested, fed, and centered) that’s when our red capes flow. We are mentally sharp, physically strong and laser-focused on our objectives.⁣
⁣
When our “cup is empty” - well, that’s when we are spinning our wheels. All of us have days like that when we are treading water, getting nowhere, one step forward and two steps back.⁣
⁣
When we our feeling empty, it usually stems from things like:⁣
⁣
🌀 lack of sleep⁣
🌀 hunger⁣
🌀 too much screen time⁣
🌀 inactivity⁣
🌀 stress⁣
⁣
It’s SO important to take time out to tend to YOU. You can’t possibly handle things for others without looking after your own needs first. That is why I include self-care as part of all of my programs. It gives you the power to stick to eating changes through the hardest part, giving you the best chances for success.⁣
⁣
By reducing stress we can more easily shed that stubborn belly fat, improve the quality of our sleep and get a surge of energy, now that our cup is full again. We get off the cycle of burnout, and on to a routine of vitality. 🧡 🥩 💪🏼⁣

I’ll let you in on a little secret.⁣ ⁣ As a

I’ll let you in on a little secret.⁣
⁣
As a health coach who helps menopausal women with weight loss, it is something I always have to talk about. I love what I do and helping women discover simple changes that get them results, but I HATE the focus on weight.⁣
⁣
Women sign up for my programs when they have had enough. They feel self conscious of the state of their body and worry about the judgement of others. The things they have tried don’t work anymore and there is a reason for that. To them, their figure is the problem and they come to me for a solution.⁣
⁣
Here’s the secret… the body fat is NOT the problem. It is simply a sign that things are going amuck inside. Fat burning has stalled, fat storage has increased, and this time it is visceral fat on the belly. ⁣
⁣
Menopause changes the rules and it is very important to get in there early and adapt to the changes, to slow aging, decline and prevent diseases from developing.⁣
⁣
We usually don’t seek help TODAY for something that may occur with our health in 5-20 years, but we MIGHT get help for the 20 pounds we’ve gained since menopause. The 20 pounds are a sign that health issues are coming! It’s the red flag warning. The red lights are flashing! 🆘 🚨 ⚠️ ⁣
⁣
By addressing the root problem with foods you were designed to eat, moving and lifestyle changes in harmony with your hormones, you may just kill all the birds with one stone. The weight will come off as your body functions get back in alignment, setting you up for a healthier, active and enjoyable Second Half of Life.⁣
⁣
🧡🥩💪🏼 You can >> get started TODAY with my 28 Day Kickstart Results Challenge, with all the tools you’ll need to set yourself up for success. You can always add in 1:1 coaching later or dig deeper with the 90 Day Results but you don’t need to decide that now. Just get started! ⁣

Maybe you have experienced this yourself…⁣ ⁣

Maybe you have experienced this yourself…⁣
⁣
It's a late summer's evening, perhaps you're out camping or in the backyard, and it is starting to get a bit chilly. You are so accustomed to running around in shorts or skorts, that the crisp cold air gently reminds you that autumn is not that far off. You run in the house or camper and dig out a pair of jeans to put on so you can head out back to the campfire.⁣
⁣
As you try to button and zip your jeans, you realize that they are too tight!⁣
⁣
When the heck did THAT happen! You've been enjoying yourself all summer with family and friends, keeping busy, working in the yard, riding bikes and even hiking. How could you have possibly gained weight?!⁣
⁣
Don't panic. It's not you, it's Mother Nature. And if you look towards the wild animal kingdom, or simply reflect on how women lived hundreds of thousands of years ago, the pattern starts to emerge. We are cyclical beings, following our circadian rhythm within us and the seasonal changes all around us.⁣
⁣
●●●⁣
⁣
Where am I going with that? Use this link: https://smootherhealth.net/mother-nature/ to find out not only WHY we gain weight in the summer, but also how we can outsmart Mother Nature for weight loss, even after menopause.⁣

It’s easier than you think!⁣

I Had Been Hiding Myself⁣
⁣
When I look back over years of photos, I…⁣
⁣
📸 notice that I was NOT in most of them⁣
📸 that I would photograph “something” instead of ME enjoying “something”⁣
⁣
And if I WAS in them, I…⁣
⁣
📸 was wearing some kind of muumuu top to hide my figure⁣
📸 was positioned behind something⁣
📸 carefully made sure the majority of my body was not in the frame⁣
⁣
Body confidence is something most women with weight issues (or without) experience at one time or another. We are definitely our own worst critic when it comes to judging ourselves.⁣
⁣
Often, what we find as a glaring flaw, no one else really notices or cares.⁣
⁣
Feeling self conscious about my appearance or body image has kept me from…⁣
⁣
🚫 joining in activities⁣
❌ meeting up with people⁣
🚫 attempting anything physical around others⁣
❌ doing anything requiring a swimsuit⁣
🚫 introducing myself or striking up a conversation with a stranger⁣
❌ posting or sharing stories about myself on social media⁣
🚫 relaxing and enjoying intimacy with a partner⁣
❌ exercising in public⁣
🚫 eating “fattening foods” in public or view of others⁣
⁣
My way of “dealing” with this was hiding (from cameras, social situations, specific people) and “comforting” myself with food (in private, of course).⁣
⁣
It didn’t work very well! I felt worse about myself and welcomed in some shame to my already negative thoughts.⁣
⁣
At a real low point, I decided to put better, healthier habits back in to action. These are the foundations of my programs, like the 28 Day Kickstart Results Challenge.⁣

🌀 dark mood lifted⁣
🌀 distended abdomen started to shrink⁣

🌀 Go back to eating Meaty Low Carb 🌀 Cut back on artificial sweeteners 🌀 Get up and move every 30-60 minutes 🌀 Follow a calming bedtime routine 🌀 Take a break from alcohol 🌀 Use a meditation app 🌀 Take a morning or evening walk 🌀 Start a puzzle

For a VERY effective ONE thing, watch the video in my free Just. ONE. Thing. lesson in the Resource Library, which explains how making a simple change to your daily routine can help you sleep better and shed extra weight.
