If fat loss has felt harder or more confusing in your 40s, this episode walks you through a smarter way to approach it.
Inside this episode, I break down how to move through a fat loss phase in a way that supports your metabolism, protects lean muscle, and helps you actually keep the results, without extremes or burnout.
We cover:
• How to know if your body is ready for a calorie deficit
• Why tracking calories gives you flexibility instead of restriction
• How popular approaches like fasting, keto, or cutting carbs really work
• How to set realistic deficit numbers
• Simple ways to structure meals so consistency feels easier
• How strength training, steps, and cardio should support fat loss
• What to expect during a deficit and how to adjust if progress slows
