Sometimes the problem isn’t that you're not trying hard enough.
It’s that you’ve been using the same strategy for years
You learned that when you wanted to lose weight, you ate less and exercised more. So when that stops giving you the results you want, the natural response is to do it harder.
But your 20s and your late 30s/40s aren’t necessarily the same.
Your schedule may look different. Your stress may be different. Your recovery may be different. You may have less time to spend in the gym. And maintaining muscle becomes much more important.
That doesn’t mean fat loss is impossible.
It means your approach needs to look a little different:
- Eat enough to support your goals
-Prioritize protein and build/maintain muscle
-Strength train instead of relying on more cardio
-Give your body enough time to recover
-Choose an approach you can actually stick with long-term
Because the goal shouldn't be to see how little you can eat or how much exercise you can squeeze into your week.
It should be finding an approach that actually gets you results while still allowing you to feel good, get stronger, and live your life."
That’s a very different way of thinking about fat loss.
And honestly, it’s one I wish more women were taught from the beginning. ❤️
