186 | The Protein Pitfall Stalling Your Fat Loss After 40

from Menopause Makeover⎮Belly Fat, Strength Train, Lose Weight, Hormone Imbalance, Mindset · host Kris Honeycutt

Have you been told your body can only use 30 grams of protein… and anything more is wasted? Friend, that might be one of the very things holding you back. In this episode, I'm breaking down what newer research actually says about how much protein your body can use, especially in midlife—and why this matters so much if you're trying to lose weight with a high protein approach, support your hormones, and see changes in your body. We're talking about the real reason protein needs go up after 40, how to build muscle, and why strength training plus protein is the key combo your metabolism has been waiting for. If you've been eating "pretty healthy" but still feel stuck… or you're unsure how much protein is actually enough… this is going to give you clarity and confidence. Your body isn't asking you to eat less—it's asking you to eat smarter.
