EP: 131 Why DIETING no longer WORKS in your 40's and Beyond!

from Fit Chicks and Hormones · host Angie Marone

If you’ve been dieting for years but nothing seems to work anymore, especially in menopause, you’re not alone. In this episode, I am breaking down why cutting calories and restricting food is actually making weight loss harder—not easier—thanks to hormonal changes that slow metabolism, increase fat storage, and trigger binge-restrict cycles.I’ll explain why your body is holding onto fat, how undereating affects cortisol, thyroid, and muscle mass, and what you should do instead to reset your metabolism. Plus, I’ll share details on my upcoming masterclass, where I’ll teach you exactly how to eat in a way that supports fat loss—without extreme dieting.Register for my Master Class here -- https://fitchickexpress.vipmembervault.com/notdietandloseweight---🚨Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a rating and review!Join my FREE Fit Chicks & Hormones Community --⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitchicksandhormones⁠⁠⁠Message me on Facebook -- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/AngieMarone5⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram -- ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/fitchicks_and_hormones/⁠⁠⁠Pick up my FREE Hormone Health Guide -- ⁠⁠⁠https://fit-chick-express.kit.com/hormone_health⁠⁠⁠Apply for 1:1 Hormone Coaching -- ⁠⁠⁠https://fitchicksandhormones.com/apply-to-work-with-me/⁠⁠⁠Set up a FREE 30 Min Strategy Call -- ⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/angie-hormone-health/30-min-consult-call⁠⁠Website-- ⁠www.fitchickandhormones.com
