Are you ready to learn about a fuel you can eat that won't kick your body out of fat-burning mode?
Â
Meet the Fuel Pull!
Â
A Fuel Pull (FP) meal is going to be low calorie and low fat.
This fuel is delightfully neutral. You can even start your meal as an FP and add carbs to convert it to an E (energizing) meal or add fats to make it an S (satisfying) meal.
Â
The FP foods can balance out meals that have a heavier calorie load and they are very weight loss friendly.
Â
But, be very careful that you do NOT abuse your use of the FP meal.Â
Remember, we are not going to deprive our bodies of good fuel. You need to switch out your fuels to see healthy, sustainable weight loss.Â
Â
Fuel Pull meals still start with a protein foundation. Choose a lean meat like chicken breast, lean deli meat or lean turkey (check all labels to make sure your choosing low fat & low carb). Egg white are a perfect FP fuel along with low fat dairy options.Â
Â
Add your veggies! Most veggies, like leaf...
Â
Have you ever wondered if fat plays a role in your weight loss journey? If so, what kind and how much? Or does that even matter:)
Â
Let’s take a look at the S fuel, the SATISFYING fuel.
Â
Fats are satisfying. When you eat fatty food or a fatty meal, you're usually satisfied for a good long time.Â
Â
The S(atisfying) meal includes protein plus fat.Â
Â
How much protein should you be eating? Normally, you can look at the size of your palm. And that's about how much protein you need. At each meal. You’re looking anywhere from 15 - 30 grams of protein. Anchor all of your meals and snacks with some type of protein to help keep your blood sugar stable.
Â
The S(atisfying) meal is protein PLUS non starchy veggies PLUS fat.
Â
Non Starchy veggies are the vegetables that don't have a lot of starch in them. They're not carb heavy at all. Look at broccoli and summer squash. Check out cauliflower and Romaine lettuce.Â
Â
Now let’s look at the FATS. Satisfying meals are all about the fa...

I’ve tried a lot of diets and eating plans over the years and FINALLY found the best eating plan to follow for the woman in her menopausal years. In fact, this is how I fuel my body every.single.day.
Â
Not all eating plans are the same and when your hormones start to shift you have to get extra creative to dial in your eating to see weight loss. Especially in your midsection.
This eating plan is called “Trim Healthy Mama” but you don’t have to be a mama to follow it!Â
All you need are the basic guidelines on how to best fuel your body at every meal. Let me walk you through what a hormone-friendly weight loss eating plan looks like.

Learn to stay on your THM journey with these 6 keys:
Â
Mindset: First, start with believing that you can, even if you have not proved it to yourself yet. Here’s the deal, if you believe that you can’t then you won’t. But, if you are willing to believe that you can eat the Trim Healthy Mama way, your brain will go to work trying to prove it.Â
➡ Action Step: Each day begin saying to yourself, “I am the girl that can learn to be consistently on plan. I believe that I can.” Don’t let that old story that you tell yourself run the show.
Â
Be Prepared: Set yourself up for success, keep THM foods, desserts, snacks, and meals on hand to make it easier for you to stay the course. Preparation is key.Â
Â
Keep it simple: Do THM your way. What is working for you? What can you sustainably do right now?Â
Â
Give yourself lots of grace: If it is not 100%, don’t worry. B+ effort is enough to get y...
Let’s talk about something that no amount of sit-ups can fix: inflammation.
If you feel like you’re doing all the things—eating healthy-ish, working out, trying to manage your hormones—but you’re still stuck with stubborn belly fat, this post is for you.
Because here’s the truth:
You can’t lose fat when your body is inflamed.
And in midlife? Inflammation and hormones are more connected than most women realize.
As we age, estrogen levels naturally decline. That’s just part of perimenopause and menopause. But lower estrogen doesn’t just affect your cycle—it affects your entire inflammatory response.
When estrogen drops:
Inflammation increases
Belly fat becomes harder to lose
And the more belly fat you carry, the more inflammation your body produces
It becomes a frustrating cycle—and unless you address the root cause, it just keeps ...
