If you read my previous post, where I shared life lately and updated you on my HRT implant decision, you'd have spotted that I have gained some weight and I'm not happy about it, whoever is? But the older we get, the more frustrating it is as it is so difficult to lose weight in midlife, it's true, weight gain around the middle is a thing and not just our imagination! I thought weight loss was hard as I was approaching 50, but as I am now approaching 60, I am finding it even harder. Willpower is my biggest barrier, I know I need to get better at saying no to the treats, less wine, less desserts, and less sugar! The extra weight is affecting my confidence, I am strong, I lift weights and I have good muscle definition thanks to some hard work and help along the way with body sculpting treatments but I still want to be a bit smaller overall - my goal is to fit comfortably into my size 10 jeans again. Then Feel got in touch and asked if I'd like to try their new Feel Pro Metabolic, a natural supplement for weight management and designed to curb cravings, boost energy and support a healthy metabolism. So how does it work and can it really help with my weight loss journey? This is a sponsored blog post. Get 20% off at Feel (all details below) Understanding midlife weight gainAs we reach midlife, particularly during perimenopause and menopause, our metabolism naturally slows down due to hormonal changes, a decrease in muscle mass and shifts in insulin sensitivity. This means that even with healthy eating and exercise results on the scale or the tape measure, may take longer to show and require a big dose of willpower and a determination to remain consistent. The key to long term success is small, consistent changes in both diet and movement. Rather than focusing on daily weigh-ins, which can be discouraging and not something I would recommend, it is better to assess progress by how you feel, how your clothes fit, and even how you look in the mirror, Patience is essential, trust the process and give. your body the time it needs to adjust. How can Feel Pro Metabolic help curb cravings?Feel Pro Metabolic is designed to support energy, cravings, and metabolic health, helping you feel more in control of your weight and wellbeing. It's formula has a multi-pathway approach for smoother digestion, better metabolic balance and more consistent appetite control without harsh stimulants or restrictive diets. Key ingredients are: Prebiotic fibres that feed beneficial gut bacteria and increase short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production. Probiotics that enhance fermentation, improve SCFA levels and stimulate GLP-1 release. Polyphenols (Rockit Apple Extract and Kombucha Black Tea) that naturally boost GLP-1 secretion and support metabolic function. Soy peptides which are clinical shown to reduce appetite and enhance satiety signals. Feel Pro Metabolic is a next-generation formula designed to stimulate your body's own GLP-1 secretion, a key hormone that helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. By naturally enhancing GLP-1 levels, it can reduce hunger, improve satiety, and support steady energy levels, making it easier to manage cravings and maintain a healthy weight, especially during midlife, when hormonal changes can make these challenges more pronounced How did I get on with Feel Pro-Metabolic?It is easy to use, simply add one sachet a day to a glass of water, it has a pleasant berry flavour and dissolves well, I enjoyed the drink which makes it easier to remember and incorporate into your routine, I had mine every morning before breakfast. Feel Pro Metabolic is newly launched, and I have only had a chance to try it for just over two weeks but I am finding it really easy to be consistent, and as I am currently working hard to focus on my health and wellbeing then the timing has been great. My aim every day is to eat a healthy breakfast, make sure I don't skip lunch but do skip the afternoon snack and evening chocolate fix, enjoy a well-balanced evening meal with my family, and say no to desserts when I am dining out! I'm also cutting back on wine at home! I feel less bloated, and I am sure my digestion has improved, with the knock-on effect to my metabolism. I have definitely noticed less cravings especially during the late afternoon and there's been no after dinner chocolate hunt! I have also noticed a willingness to serve myself a smaller portion! This is all really helping my mindset, if I can see positives like less cravings then I am more likely to keep going. I am not expecting instant weight loss, as explained above in midlife it takes time, but slow and steady, these small consistent changes is what works. For me stress has been a big factor for a few months, so I am delighted that Feel Pro Metabolic contains ingredients to help lower cortisol. Midlife doesn’t have to mean battling constant cravings or feeling out of control with your weight. By supporting blood sugar balance, metabolism, stress resilience, and energy levels, Feel Pro Metabolic can be a helpful tool for women in their 50s and 60s looking to manage cravings and maintain a healthy weight in a way that feels natural and sustainable. If like me you are in your 50s and want to lose some weight and cut the cravings, plus gain a bit of energy, then give Feel Pro Metabolic a try. I like that it is natural, doesn't contain unnecessary fillers, and is easy to drink and include in a routine. But remember to keep up with the healthy diet, smaller portions, and make sure you are fitting movement into your day, even a 15 minute walk is positive!
