Mid life Ladies... I have been taking creatine for 3 months, adding it to my coffee, juice, chocolate milkshakes 😋 daily In my opinion, I have... 🌟 Less joint pain 🌟 Less fatigue 🌟 Better recovery (less muscle soreness) after training 🌟 Less brain fog 🌟 More energy 🌟 All the muscle gains 🤔 Have you seen the recent research on creatine? Creatine monohydrate, the world's most researched ergogenic aid Er·go·gen·ic - intended to enhance physical performance, stamina, or recovery (Yes I had to google what ergogenic meant 🤓) It's always been known for its beneficial effects on strength and muscle building potential & has long been used by gym-goers and sports players But its use is now going much wider, think mid-life & menopausal! 🧠 It's being taken for its cognitive and brain ageing benefits 😴 It's being taken to help fight fatigue 🦵 It's being taken to ease joint pain 🔥 It's being taken for overall daily energy So Ladies - do your research, educate yourself and make your decision.. give it 30 days - possibly even 60 days as it does take time to saturate your muscles - to see and feel the difference in the severity of your per/menopausal symptoms 🫶🏻 The MAGIC is in YOU!

Fuel your training! Ladies especially - "I don't have enough calories so I just won't eat anything before I hit the gym/go for a run"? It is ESSENTIAL to fuel your body for physical activity It doesn't have to be a meal, and it doesn't have to be complicated but the main thing to understand is that the food you put in your body BEFORE, DURING and AFTER a workout SIGNIFICANTLY impacts your performance, recovery and overall health Carbohydrates are the optimal energy source for fuelling any physical activity A snack of simple carbs 30-60 minutes before your session is ideal SnackySnackSnack ideas... 🍓 fruit smoothies 🍌 bananas or other fruits 🍘 crackers 🌾 rice cakes 🍑 dried fruit Give yourself a fighting chance of having an awesome sess! **Photo is 1 kallo rice cake (27 cals) and 5g honey (17 cals) - DO NOT tell me you don't have enough calories cos the benefits of eating these 45 calories pre-training far outweighs any thoughts of "oh my god, I've eaten extra calories" The MAGIC is in YOU!

Over indulgence is a normal response to over restriction Binged at the weekend cos you've lived on 1000 calories Monday to Friday? Ate a family size bar of chocolate cos you've cut it out for the last 2 weeks? Munched 5 slices of bread and butter while making the dinner cos you've had a banana for breakfast and an apple for lunch? See where I'm going with this? If you under fuel your body.. your brain will do everything it can to make you eat To diet successfully you must: 🌟 Fuel your body appropriately throughout the day - every day 🌟 Be in a calorie deficit - 15-20% is cool.. no need for 35%+ 🌟 Not over restrict - do not cut out whole food groups i.e carbs/fat 🌟 Leave in the tasty stuff - a little bit every day is a win 🌟 Practice portion control Dieting is about calories - but it is also very much about behaviours As always, 👋 if you need anything - my inbox is always open The MAGIC is in YOU!

➡️ All calories ARE equal as calories are a measure of energy ➡️ All sources of calories ARE NOT equal ➡️ If 1800 calories of fruit & veg was like running 1 mile DOWNHILL 1800 calories of takeaway (highly processed food) is like running 1 mile UPHILL ➡️ Macros (Protein, carbohydrates, fat) and food choices matter if you want to change your body composition ➡️ You can eat haribo every day whilst dieting - but NOT a bucket load!

- Carbs - our bodies preferred source of energy - Our body converts carbs into glycogen (for the energy) - For every 1g of glycogen stored, you also store 3-4g of water - If you have been eating less carbs, you probs have less glycogen stored - By eating more carbs, you will likely store more glycogen This is why your scales could jump on a Monday morning, or after a holiday, or after a mini-cut 🧡 Remember this before you have a freak out about minor scale increases (perfectly normal for the scales to jump up and down across the week) 🧡 Remember this before you have a party to yourself when the scales drop hugely If the scales jump or drop massively over the course of a few days - IT IS NOT BODY FAT! It's science, baby 🥸 🤓 The MAGIC is in YOU!
