EP 59: Your Blueprint for a Successful Fat Loss Phase Over 40
If fat loss has felt harder or more confusing in your 40s, this episode walks you through a smarter way to approach it.

We cover:
• How to know if your body is ready for a calorie deficit
• Why tracking calories gives you flexibility instead of restriction
• How popular approaches like fasting, keto, or cutting carbs really work
• How to set realistic deficit numbers
• Simple ways to structure meals so consistency feels easier
