As a diligent, loyal reader 😉, you may be thinking

"The 30 grams of protein thing again??"

Yes. It's that important.

Eating at least 30 grams of protein (about 4 oz of chicken, for example) triggers the muscle rebuilding that keeps you "toned" and helps you recover from your workouts.

Part of the "skinny-fat" syndrome that strikes post- and perimenopausal women comes from the loss of muscle.

Of course I understand your goal isn't to get "bulky."

But your goal should be to get back the muscle you've probably lost over the last 10-20 years.

We do that with effective weight training (cute pastel dumbbells and skimpy rubber bands won't do) and sufficient protein.

And current research shows people around our age may need as much as 50% more protein than we did when we were younger.

So get your 30 grams of protein at each meal. (Yes, that includes breakfast!) If you need some guidance, give me a call at our Timonium personal training gym.

It may sound really good and may even “work“– but only to a barely discernible degree and with a huge expenditure of your valuable time. Don’t waste your time with isolated spot reduction exercises. Compound exercises (that’s using multiple joints) are far more efficient and effective. Here's proof ... Experimenters asked one group of women to do upper body exercises only while another group did lower body exercises only. Both groups of women lost fat in the same pattern regardless of what exercises they did. Where you gain fat - and where you
