If you’re like so many women, your 40s may feel like a constant battle of eating less — only to weigh more.
It’s so frustrating!
Thankfully, there’s a better way.
Sarah Mirkin, R.D.N., a celebrity nutritionist and personal trainer, teamed up with Prevention to create a 21-day eating plan tailored to the needs of women over 40.
To end the vicious cycle of eating less only to weigh more, Mirkin recommends you:
Eat more!
Hearty meals will help to jumpstart your metabolism, she says, whereas overly small portions do the opposite.
Have all foods in moderation!
Fill your plate with a wide variety of nutritious foods – even carbs, she says.
Snack!
It will help you to manage hunger and prevent overeating. Mirkin eats five times a day!
Stop counting calories!
Instead, consume ultra-filling foods and pay attention to how you feel. Eat when you’re hungry and stop eating when you’re full.
It’s counterintuitive, but it works – and Mirkin has the clients to prove it.
Take Sharon. Mirkin helped her slim down and get back in shape after Sharon had a baby at age 43.
“I was a little skeptical because she recommended that I eat more food than I’m used to eating, and she also wanted me to make my workouts shorter,” says Sharon.
“Six months after my baby was born, I was more fit and lean than I’ve ever been in my life. I’m never hungry and my energy levels are better than ever. I never would have imagined it could be so easy.”
Here’s the thing: you can’t just pile food on your plate and expect to see a lower number on the scale. You need to cook up the right portions with the right blend of foods – for your body.
You need a plan.
That’s why Prevention teamed up with Mirkin to create Fill Your Plate, Lose the Weight. This 21-day plan includes the daily menus, eating out suggestions, and recipes you need to finally slim down without hunger.
