If you are an active woman juggling workouts, work, family and everything in between, I've got something to share with you.
Why eating less isn’t the answer
Let’s get real: if you’ve been cutting calories like crazy, but the scale isn’t budging, you’re not alone. Here’s the truth no one tells you: eating too little can actually sabotage your progress. When your body senses a lack of food, it switches into survival mode, slowing your metabolism and holding onto fat.
And the worst part? It doesn’t stop there. Under-eating can leave you feeling tired, weak, and frustrated, all while breaking down your precious muscle instead of burning fat.
Instead of starving, it’s time to fuel your body the right way—so you can glow from the inside out!
Fuelling Your Glow: What your body needs
The Glow & Go approach is simple: eat in a way that supports fat loss, muscle growth, and your everyday energy. No starvation. No endless salads. Just balanced, wholesome meals.
Step 1: Love your Protein
Protein is your best friend. It helps repair muscles after workouts, keeps you full, and even boosts your metabolism. Aim for lean sources like:
Chicken, turkey, or lean beef
Fish like salmon or tuna
Plant-based options like tofu, lentils, and quinoa
Quick tip: Pair protein with every meal for a steady stream of energy!
Step 2: Embrace Carbs and Fats
Carbs fuel your workouts, while healthy fats balance your hormones and keep you satisfied. Say yes to:
Whole carbs like oats, quinoa, and sweet potatoes
Healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil
The trick is balance. Pre- and post-workout meals are especially important, think oatmeal and banana before a workout, or grilled chicken and sweet potato after.
How much should I eat?
One size does not fit all.
An active woman’s daily caloric needs will vary, but focusing on a balanced diet rich in whole foods, proper hydration, and nutrient timing will help optimise performance and overall health. Remember, everyone’s body is unique, so it’s important to adjust intake based on how your body responds to your exercise routine and lifestyle.
Why this isn't a Diet - It's a Lifestyle
Here’s the thing: Glow & Go isn’t about perfection or quick fixes. It’s about consistency, finding what works for you, and nourishing your body to feel strong, energised, and unstoppable.
So let’s ditch the crash diets and overwhelming rules. This is your friendly reminder that fuelling your body with confidence and care is the ultimate power move.
