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.

    Spring Clean with God: Clear the Clutter in Your Heart, Home, Health, Habits, and Head FREE MINI-SUMMIT

    Today I’m joined by Theresa Emanuel, the host of Faith Food Fellowship podcast, and we’re talking about something that goes way beyond just food and fitness. Because if you’ve ever felt like your habits are off, your routines are cluttered, your mind feels noisy… and no matter how many times you try to “get back on track,” something just isn’t clicking—this conversation is for you. Theresa has created something really special called Spring Clean With God: Clear the Clutter from your Heart, Home, Habits, Health, and Head, and I love the way it takes a step back and looks at the whole picture. (It's happening March 24-26 and it's free!) Not just what you’re eating or how you’re working out—but what’s going on in your heart, your head, your home… and how all of that connects to your health. And honestly? This is the piece a lot of women are missing. So today we’re diving into what it really means to “clear the clutter,” why it matters more than you think, and how this kind of reset can make everything else feel a whole lot more doable.   Register free for the Spring Clean with God Mini-Summit here: https://20205508--p31virtues.thrivecart.com/spring-clean-mini-summit/   Listen to Faith Food Fellowship with Theresa Emanuel here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faith-food-fellowship-self-care-strategies-for-busy/id1546685414   Connect with Amy Bryan here:  www.linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway

    199. The GLP-1 Secrets Nobody Tells (2 Real Clients. Real Talk.)

    Today we are talking about a topic that is everywhere right now—GLP-1 medications for weight loss. You’ve probably heard about them from friends, your doctor, social media, or the news. And for many women, these medications are becoming one possible tool in their health journey. But here’s the key question I wanted to explore today: What happens when you combine GLP-1 medications with the foundational habits that actually support long-term health and fat loss? Because one thing I always teach here in Fat Loss School is that no tool replaces the fundamentals—things like prioritizing protein, eating mostly whole foods, strength training, managing stress, and creating sustainable habits. So instead of just talking about GLP-1s, I thought it would be much more helpful to talk with women who are actually navigating this in real life. Today I’m joined by two of my FASTer Way clients, Liese Tavaglione and Robyn Neft, who are both using GLP-1 medications as one tool in their journey while also following the FASTer Way strategies like a protein-first approach to eating and consistent strength training. They’re generously sharing their honest experiences—what led them to consider this option, what they’ve learned along the way, and how focusing on foundational habits has helped them do this in a healthy and sustainable way. If you’ve been curious about GLP-1s, considering them yourself, or simply wondering how they fit into a bigger health picture, this conversation will give you a balanced, real-life perspective.

    196. NEAT Movement: Better For Fat Loss Than Intense Workouts After 50

    Today we’re talking about something that might completely change how you think about fat loss after 50. It’s not another workout. It’s something called NEAT. NEAT stands for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. It’s the energy you burn doing everything that is NOT: sleeping, eating, or working out.  So NEAT is walking around your house, cleaning, fidgeting, taking the stairs, parking farther away, etc.  All of that counts. And here’s the kicker…For women over 50, NEAT may impact fat loss more than your 45-minute workout.

    195. You Must Strength Train after Age 50 (and you'll love the side effect of FAT LOSS!)

    Most women join my FASTer Way class because they want to lose weight for their health. And that is a GREAT reason to join. But somewhere along the journey, something shifts. They realize what they actually want isn’t just weight loss. They want fat loss. And here’s the discovery that shocks almost everyone: Not all exercise targets fat loss. Strength training is THE most effective way to target fat loss. It also preserves muscle so your metabolism doesn’t slow down as you lose fat. Muscle burns more calories — even at rest. So you don’t just get smaller… you get leaner and stronger. And that means you can sustain the loss long term. I wish I could change every woman’s mindset to this: Instead of working so hard to lose weight…Work to gain muscle. You’ll get a better aesthetic result. You’ll keep the fat off longer. You’ll be stronger. And you’ll live independently longer. I don’t know a single woman who wants to become tiny and frail as she ages. We want to be strong, independent, mobile, and maybe a little sassy. So here’s the question leading our lesson today: Are you strong enough? In today's episode, I want to shift your thinking from getting smaller through weight loss… to getting stronger and watching fat loss become the side effect.
