The 5 Biggest Fat Loss Mistakes Women Over 40 Make - 1282

from The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance · host Chalene Johnson

If it feels like your body just stopped responding to everything that used to work, you are not crazy. Fat loss after 40, especially in perimenopause and menopause, follows a completely different playbook. In this episode, Chalene breaks down why eating less and doing more cardio can actually backfire and what is really going on inside your body. She walks through the biggest mistakes women make when trying to lose body fat in midlife and the small shifts that can finally start moving things in the right direction. This is not about more discipline, it is about understanding your hormones, your metabolism, and learning how to work with your body instead of fighting it.
