The truth is: weight loss isn't the goal, and chasing it might be the exact reason you keep spinning your wheels. In this episode, I break down what's actually happening in your body after 40, why eating less and doing more cardio tends to backfire, and what you should be focusing on instead to lose fat and keep it off for good. Here's what we cover: - Why the scale is a misleading scorecard (and what to track instead) - How muscle loss after 30 quietly slows your metabolism - Why crash dieting and cardio-heavy programs accelerate the problem - The two levers you actually need to pull: resistance training + smart nutrition - Key training variables: intensity, progressive overload, range of motion, and volume - How much protein you need and what rate of weight loss is actually sustainable This isn't about losing weight fast. It's about improving your body composition in a way that's sustainable, healthy, and doesn't leave you feeling like you have to starve yourself to see results.
