How to Eat Carbs and Still Lose Weight in Midlife
Allow me to drop a bit of knowledge for a moment on one of my favorite topics….
Carb cycling saved my clients midlife metabolism and I am sharing how it can change yours too!
Okay, let's get real about carb cycling because I'm tired of seeing women in midlife think they need to fear carbs forever. If you've been cutting out bread, skipping birthday cake, or Googling "low-carb menopause diet" at 11 p.m., you're not alone.
Here's the deal: your metabolism isn't broken, it's just operating under new management thanks to shifting hormones.
When estrogen starts its farewell tour during perimenopause and menopause, your body becomes more insulin sensitive and loves to store fat around your middle. Fun times, right? 👎
But instead of declaring war on all carbs, carb cycling works WITH these changes.
The simple science: Higher carb days (paired with your toughest strength workouts) keep your metabolism humming and muscles fed, while lower to moderate carb days improve insulin sensitivity and help you tap into fat stores. It's like teaching your body to be metabolically flexible again instead of stuck in storage mode.
How to actually do this without losing your mind:
Pick 2 days a week for higher carbs (your hardest strength workout days)
Keep the other days moderate, not low, just moderate (Think: a scoop of oats at breakfast, a wrap for lunch, and sweet potato at dinner. Totally doable.)
Time matters: eat most carbs earlier in the day and around workouts
Rotate your carb sources so you don't get bored (sweet potatoes, oats, rice, yes even some dark chocolate 😋)
The best part? You're not cutting out entire food groups or living on sad salads. You're working with your midlife body instead of against it, which is exactly what we need to see real results that actually stick.
No drama, no extremes, just smart strategy that fits into real life.
