Me gustaría perder los típicos dos kilos, pero estoy en mi límite y sé que aunque lo consiga me voy a dejar la vida manteniendolo. Por otro lado, he estado con nutris en el pasado y al final te sacan la dieta del cajón, siento sonar chunga, pero a mí en lo único que me han ayudado es en esforzarme a perder peso porque estaba pagandoles . Al final yo ya sé lo que mejor me funciona y trato de aplicarlo, el problema es que si nunca me fue fácil, ahora rozando los 50 y la menopausia pues que os voy a contar.
@DoñaUrraca , no creo que tenga poca masa muscular, de hecho tengo que controlarme con el tipo de ejercicios que hago para no ponerme demasiado ancha. Normalmente hago 1 hora tipo Pilates, Ejercicios de core (planchas, abdominales...), Fitnes (trabajando con aros, pesas, gomas elásticas, etc), y luego otra hora de aerobico (Zumba, 1 hora en cinta, rápido y con pendiente pero con cuidado de mantenerme en "Zona 2" para tirar de grasa corporal). Además me mantengo muy activa, así que mi NEAT yo creo que es alto...
Mira, yo sigo a esta señora Chris de Hollander Lifecoach. Da buenos trucos y creo que igual te gusta. Su última newsletter (sobre semana santa). Insiste mucho en que hay que comer, comer bastante más de lo que pensamos y mucha, mucha, mucha proteína.
Whether or not you mark this holiday as a religious observance, I'm sure you've seen the Easter candy in all the aisles. The huge bins are hard to miss!
Navigating Easter can be tricky for many Midlife women, given the combination of special gatherings and the abundance of seasonal candy that shows up! (hello, Cadbury eggs!)
The food and desserts on our table, plus all the Easter candy, can do a number on our blood sugar around Easter. Blood sugar balance is one of the core principles that I teach in my Midlife Nutrition program.
>> When blood sugar rises quickly, you feel the effects. The energy and cravings roller coaster begins. You prompt fat storage as your body deals with the excess glucose in your blood. Your skin and tissues age at an accelerated pace. And you raise your odds of developing insulin resistance or diabetes. Managing blood sugar is key to aging well!
Today, I'm sharing my THREE BLOOD SUGAR BALANCING TIPS so you can navigate Easter without feeling like a total zombie or derailing your weight-loss goals. And trust me, I've been there and this works!
Start with Protein and Veggies
Load up your plate with protein-rich foods, roughly 25% of your plate. Grab a good-sized portion of ham, turkey, fish, chicken, eggs, or whatever protein is on your Easter table. Now add colorful veggies packed with nutrients and fiber. Think a big salad with wonderful add-ins or veggies like asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and green beans. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels, while fiber slows down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, preventing spikes. Eat these nutrient-dense foods first for the most benefit!
Save Sweets for After Your Meal
I know those Easter treats are calling your name but save them for after you eat! Having sweets after a meal, especially one rich in protein and fiber, can help mitigate blood sugar spikes compared to eating those sweets first or without protein and fiber foods beforehand. This approach allows you to fully enjoy some of your favorite treats while minimizing their impact on your blood sugar levels.
Take a Post-Meal Walk
After your meal and treat, get moving! Go for a stroll around the block or get active with your family or friends. Going for a walk helps improves digestion and aids in regulating blood sugar levels by encouraging glucose uptake into the muscles. Using that glucose for movement instead of having your body store it away makes a big difference. Plus, it's a great time to enjoy moments with family and make memories together. Win-win!
So, there you have it – a simple recipe for enjoying time with your loved ones and indulging in delicious treats without feeling sluggish and stuck on the sugar roller coaster of highs and lows.
