Episode Description from the Publisher

You know your macros. You track them, hit them most playing macro tetras with protein powder water shakes at the end of the day, and still wondering why your energy is inconsistent, your sleep is broken, and your training feels harder than it should.What most women never consider.Hitting your daily total and actually fuelling your body are two completely different things. And the gap between them is where the cravings, the 3pm crash, the broken sleep, wild perimenopause symptoms and the flat training sessions live.This week on the podcast I shared one macro tracking change. Not a new food, not a different macro split. One single way for how you organise what you are already eating.It is the first thing I apply with every woman who comes into my mentorship and starts the Foundation of the Midlife Muscle Method™️ And the speed at which things shift when they do it still surprises me, even after years of watching it happen.One of my clients, Katie, spent a year trying to hit her maintenance calories and could not hold it. The cravings by afternoon were overwhelming and she kept binging. We applied this structure. Within two days the cravings were gone. She had not changed her calories. I covered exactly what it is, why it works the way it does in a perimenopausal body specifically, and how to build it around your training no matter when you train.Get your FREE roadmap here: https://body-design-with-lou.kit.com/midlife-hot-and-sculpted-ebookOther Helpful Podcast Episodes to Listen to:Episode 3: Reframing macro tracking from restriction to the power of data: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6yvfvZWSK9489LOKP8GnFY?si=JGaYSZwJSKqn-mvoa1-sAAEpisode 36: MIDLIFE HOT & SCULPTED: The Roadmap to Beating Perimenopause & Looking a Decade Younger!: https://open.spotify.com/episode/23TMIKxIDEwGG49ET1xpwx?si=bJuSlZdNT6ieiqQaqRUKdwEpisode 40: Online Macro Calculators Are Failing You — Here’s What To Do Instead: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ECItV0MKGr43ra5VqWHvc?si=H02WLxGlQRyEy3uUlxS3SQEpisode 42: You can’t change what you won’t measure: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1MWpZdL50Fivlz8FfEEONm?si=vOyST3jOSx6wqHVJBrl_lgBook your Strategy Call with me here: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/strategy-call-lou-driver
