If you want to lose fat and keep it off for good, it’s important to be aware of your sugar and alcohol intake. This becomes especially important as we enter perimenopause & menopause because with hormonal changes, our blood sugar can naturally increase. And when our blood sugar is high, our bodies will hold onto fat. This is why I recommend that my clients swap sugary coolers and cocktails for low-sugar cocktails & mocktail like this tasty Hibiscus Margarita!
This is equally as good served as a cocktail with tequila or omit for a fresh and tasty mocktail!
