First and foremost, I wouldn't start by cutting carbs.
I wouldn't start by eating 1,200 calories.
I wouldn't add another cardio workout.
Â
I wouldn’t start with eating 150 grams of protein a day.
Â
I wouldn’t think that alcohol had no impact on my fat loss.
And I definitely, wouldn't wait until Monday to “get back on track.”
Â
I'd start by figuring out what my body needs to efficiently lose fat after 40.
I’d look at:
How much I'm eating now. Track it all – not just some of it (yes bites, licks and tastes count).
How much protein I'm getting. Not one day but across a full week.   Low one day, high another NO BUENO
How much I'm moving. I’m not talking about workouts I am talking intentional steps throughout the day.
Whether I'm strength training consistently or was it more of this week Ill do 1, this week Ill do 4 and for the next 2 weeks I may not do any.
What my energy and hunger are telling me. Ravenous – that’s a problem. Sleepy – also a problem. Not sleeping at all – also a problem.
And then I'd gather all the data and build my calories and macros around that information instead of jumping into another low calorie or latest greatest diet that’s being promoted this week or just a protein target that you will never hit.
Because at this stage, you don't need another set of rules to follow for 30 days.
You need to understand why what you've been doing isn't giving you the result you want anymore.
And then know exactly what to change. That’s when you start to see success.
If you're a woman over 40 and this sounds like where you're at, DM me START and I'll send you the next step.
