Why I Don't Believe Losing Just 1 lb a Week Is The Best Approach For Women In Their 50s
from Mastering Menopause · host Kathy Coté
For years, women in their 50s have been told that losing one pound a week is the “smart” and “sustainable” way to lose weight.I believed that too until I started seeing what actually happens in real life.I explain why slow fat loss often kills momentum, how easy it is to unintentionally erase a 500 calorie deficit, and why a properly timed aggressive approach can actually be more sustainable for the right woman.In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I break down why the slow 1 lb a week approach often fails women in midlife, not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because the strategy doesn’t match real life, real stress, or real hormones.I share the story of a recent client who followed a structured rapid fat loss phase and experienced results most women are told aren’t possible anymore:11 pounds lost in 21 days20.5 inches lost Significant reduction in belly measurementsNo sugar cravings after 3 daysMore energy, confidence, and motivationThis wasn’t starvation and it definitely wasn’t luck.You’ll also learn:How metabolic adaptation shows up in women over 50Why mindset and momentum matter just as much as caloriesHow faster results can actually improve long term adherenceIf you’ve been stuck at low calories, frustrated by slow progress, or wondering why you’re doing everything right with nothing to show for it, this episode will give you a completely different lens on fat loss in menopause.And if you want to explore what this approach could look like for you, book a call with me in January.Send us Fan MailThank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how I can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnowNow accepting clients!
