6 | Over 40 and Want to Lose Weight? Why Dieting Isn’t the Answer – And What Works Instead

Have you ever been on a diet, lost weight, and felt amazing? You think, "This time is different! I'll maintain the weight loss," and maybe you even get rid of your pre-weight loss clothes. But then, life happens. Fast forward a few months, and not only have you regained the weight, but you've gained even more. If this sounds like you, you have to stay tuned to this episode. Before we dive in, I want to thank each and every one of you for tuning in. In just a few weeks, you've moved this podcast to #2 in all of Canada in the nutrition category. I’m truly blown away!

I read each one, and they inspire me to keep going.  Okay, let’s dig into today’s episode. We’ll start with why diets don’t work and then get into what does. Diets often fail because they have a finite mentality – a start and end point – and they’re a disconnected approach, relying on external regimens instead of listening to your body. We need to address the root issues, whether they’re physiological, psychological, or habitual. So, what do we do instead? Make small, gradual changes that become habits. Make changes from a place of already being that person. Instead of saying, "I am going to become healthy," start making decisions from a place of already being healthy. Develop a deeper "why" beyond just losing weight. Keep asking yourself why it’s important until you get to a strong, motivating reason. Start small – one habit at a time – and keep track of your progress. Tracking makes it rewarding. Tune in to learn how to make sustainable changes that will help you achieve lasting health and weight loss. Let's transform our approach and our lives together!   Want to learn more?
