Why Meal Plans DON'T WORK!

from The Elise Tzurkov Podcast · host etzurkov

If you’re a woman in perimenopause or menopause, chances are you’ve tried a meal plan — and maybe it worked… until it didn’t. You follow it, see results, then slip back into old habits and end up right where you started. That’s why meal plans don’t work long-term. They don’t teach you how to eat for your body, your hormones, or your mindset. In this episode, I break down why relying on meal plans keeps you stuck — and how learning to truly understand your food gives you freedom. It might feel harder at first, but when you know what you’re eating and why,you become confident, consistent, and in control. This is how you create a lifestyle that actually lasts through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.The FUNCTIONALLY FIT METHOD: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-methodNewsletter:FunctionallyFitwithElisehttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/functionally-fit-newsletterFREE RESOURCES:Click below for a great FREEBIE  on how to lose that extra belly weight:(MenoBelly Freebie) https://functionallyfitwithelise.ck.page/menobelly-blasterClick below for a MACRO GUIDE FREEBIE - a guide to understanding, setting, and tracking macroshttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/how-to-macro-guideFunctionally Fit Over 40 Workouts: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-over-40-workoutsMacro Calculator for Functionally Fit with EliseSLEEP HYGIENE RESOURCE:  CLICK HEREDISCOUNT CODES FOR PRODUCTS I ACTUALLY USE:Oats (Elise’s Favourite Breakfast) https://www.proateinmealz.com/  DISCOUNT CODE “ELISE10” to saveLEGION SUPPLEMENTS:https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/wverpDISCOUNT CODE:   “Elise” to save 20%OTHER PLACES YOU CAN CONNECT WITH ME:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-C59WrT5jB5dgr0pOhVtAPodcast Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/etzurkovPodcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-elise-tzurkov-podcast/id1778056130Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/functionallyfitwithelise/?hl=enFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/383975962844507/Website: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/Pinterest:  https://ca.pinterest.com/elisetzurkov/
