Keto. Intermittent fasting. Low carb. GLP-1 medications.There is no shortage of advice telling women over 40 what they “should” be doing to lose weight, and it can get incredibly confusing.In this episode, I’m breaking down some of the most popular approaches and talking about what they get right, where they can become problematic, and what actually matters most if your goal is sustainable weight loss, less belly fat, better energy, and long-term health.Because the truth is, you probably don’t need another diet with a long list of rules.You need an approach that nourishes your body, keeps you satisfied, supports your metabolism, and actually fits into your real life.In this episode, we talk about:Why weight loss can feel different after 40The pros and cons of ketoWhether intermittent fasting is really necessaryWhere GLP-1 medications fit into the conversationWhy carbohydrates aren’t automatically the problemThe importance of quality protein, healthy fats, produce, and fiberWhy eating enough mattersHow overly restrictive diets can backfireThe questions to ask before starting any new dietWhat a realistic, sustainable approach to eating after 40 can actually look likeThe goal isn’t to find the perfect diet you can force yourself to follow.
