Why You’re Gaining Belly Fat Even When You’re Eating Clean and Following THM

 

You're Not Crazy—You're Hormonal (But That’s Not the Whole Story)

If you’re doing everything “right”—following the Trim Healthy Mama plan, skipping sugar, working out, eating clean—and you’re still gaining belly fat, this post is for you. I talk to midlife women every single day in my coaching programs, in my free Menopause Makeover community, and on discovery calls—and I hear the same frustrations on repeat.

A Midlife Mindset Shift That Gets You Unstuck

If you’ve been doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck… If you’ve looked in the mirror and thought, “I don’t even recognize myself anymore…” If your motivation is MIA and the scale isn’t budging no matter how “on plan” you stay…

Today we’re tackling something that might be the missing piece in your weight loss journey.

 

Why You Feel Stuck in Perimenopause (And How to Get Unstuck)

Midlife isn’t just a shift in hormones—it’s a shift in identity, energy, and how your body responds to the things that used to work.

This is the exact season I found myself in years ago. The weight was creeping up, my energy was tanking, and even though I was trying to stay “on plan,” nothing seemed to be changing.

What finally helped?

Hey friend, let’s talk. If you’re feeling like your body has suddenly switched the rulebook on you—like the things that used to work for weight loss just aren’t cutting it anymore—you’re not imagining things.
