The 5 Biggest Fat Loss Mistakes Women Over 40 Still Make

Fat loss after 40 can feel unfair. You eat less, you push harder in the gym, you try to be “good” all week and somehow your body responds by holding on tighter. In today's episode I unpack why that happens for women in perimenopause and menopause, and why the old calories-in-calories-out mindset often creates the exact stress chemistry that stalls progress. I walk through the 5 biggest fat loss mistakes women over 40 still make: under-eating (including skipped meals and low-calorie plans), over-exercising and relying on cardio without recovery, inconsistent protein intake, ignoring sleep quality, and the all-or-nothing mindset that turns one imperfect moment into a full reset on Monday. Along the way we connect the dots between cortisol, inflammation, insulin sensitivity, cravings, muscle loss, and metabolic rate, with practical guidance you can apply immediately. Expect clear advice on protein targets, why strength training matters more than ever, how healthy fats support inflammation, and why sleep is a weight loss tool, not a luxury. If you want personalised help, I also share how to enquire about the GLOW Protocol via a free peri weight loss assessment.
