Fat Loss School for Women Over 50 | Lose Weight After Menopause with Healthy Food, Intermittent Fasting, Carb Cycling, Macros & Mindset

Welcome to the Fat Loss School podcast! If you’ve been struggling with extra pounds, menopausal belly fat, feeling overwhelmed by too many diet options, are on the borderline with health issues, and are frustrated by past weight loss failures - especially if you’ve hit the fabulous fifty mark - then grab a seat because this podcast is your ultimate fat loss classroom. I am Amy Bryan, 30 year educator and certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss® online nutrition and fitness coach. I’ll be your teacher and guide to show you that losing fat and gaining energy - plus maintaining it long term - is truly possible even at our age. I know because I’ve been there. In my 30s & 40s, I did all the diets, tried all the gimmicks, over-exercised, lost and gained the same pounds over & over. At 50, I had accomplished so much except in this one very important area and was through wasting time and energy on temporary fixes! This podcast will teach lifestyle changes that shed the fat in a healthy way that you can sustain long term and change your health trajectory so you age with energy, independence, and confidence. Think of these few minutes together as a study hall with cheat sheets for fat loss and include topics like intermittent fasting, carb cycling, mindset reframing, and more. Grab your notebook, because class is officially in session, and it’s time to rewrite your wellness story! Connect with me at https://linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway
