Welcome back to the third episode of our Metabolism Series – and today, I’m tackling the one topic that gets everyone in their feelings: FAT LOSS. But let’s be clear… I’m not talking crash diets, cabbage soup, or “skinny by Saturday” nonsense. I’m talking fat loss done right.
If you're a woman over 40 who’s been dieting harder than a 2000s fitness competitor and still not seeing results, this episode is your permission slip to break up with the BS and start playing the long game.
Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why your obsession with the scale is tanking your results
- What it actually means to change your body composition
- The 12–16-week fat loss phase (and why you should treat it like a season, not a lifestyle)
- Why that 1–2 lb per week “rule” is total trash
- How to wade into fat loss like a rockstar (without mourning your almond butter)
Plus, you’ll get the real scoop on why slashing calories, skipping meals, and fasting your face off is the exact opposite of what your perimenopausal body needs.
Spoiler: There is a better way. And it starts by finally stop bullying your body and start to treat it like the partner it is.
Bonus: I’ve got a Metabolism Quiz linked below that’ll tell you exactly what phase you're in right now—fat loss, maintenance, or reverse. No more guessing, no more Googling.
And if you’re tired of white knuckling your way through another diet plan, grab my upcoming Metabolism Reset Guide to start building a sustainable fat loss roadmap that actually fits your real life.
Hit play, grab a notebook (or your favorite protein smoothie), and let’s get real about what it takes to get results at this stage of life, without burning out, bingeing, or blowing up your social life.
Because my queen, fat loss isn't forever… but freedom from diet drama? That’s the goal.
