Welcome to Fit Girl Magic podcast this week I’m navigating  you through how to periodize your nutrition – a personalized, strategic approach to eating and exercising that works with the rhythm of your life.    Imagine shaping your nutrition around significant events and your own unique  goals, whether you are looking to lose weight, maintain, or build muscle. Are you intrigued by the notion of adjusting your diet and workouts to match the fluctuations of your life? Perhaps you're looking for a way to break the cycle of constantly dieting so that you no longer feel  disappointed, depleted, and betrayed by your body.   In this episode, I’m exploring the crucial concept of 'periodizing your nutrition' – an antidote to the never-ending dieting loop that so many women over 40 find themselves stuck in. Now is the time to discover practical habits. You’ll also understand the four pivotal diet phases – reverse diet, maintenance, deficit, and build – and learn actionable steps to craft a balanced, rewarding way of eating that works with the rhythm of your life.   Today we talk about everything from fine-tuning calorie intake to  observing your body's cues and grasping the significance of NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) in your daily energy expenditure.. We'll also delve into the significance of maintenance  to keep your hormones happy to doing all you can to preserve muscle.   So, whether you're gearing up for a major event or simply striving to feel your best, today's episode serves as your personal guide to a healthier, more attuned version of yourself.
