    EP: 93 Why Eating Less STOPS Working After 40

    Send us Fan Mail If you’re eating less, working hard and still not achieving the toned, sculpted body you want, another diet may be the last thing you need. In this video, I explain why eating less can stop working after 40—and why losing weight doesn’t always improve your body composition. Creating a lean, defined physique requires building enough muscle to create shape and losing enough body fat to reveal it. You’ll learn: • How your body adapts to prolonged calorie restriction • Why constantly under-eating can affect your metabolism, movement and hunger • How dieting without proper protein and strength training can lead to muscle loss • Why under-fueling makes it harder to train, progress and build muscle • When eating more can actually support your long-term goals • How to use my three-phase approach: Build, Reveal and Maintain Fat loss should be used strategically—not treated as a permanent lifestyle. Depending on your body, dieting history and goals, you may need to spend time building muscle, restore calories to a healthy maintenance level or maintain your progress before beginning another deficit.

    EP 88: She Ate 700 More Calories... and Lost Fat After 40

    Send us Fan Mail Most women over 40 have been taught that if fat loss stalls, the answer is to eat less and exercise more. That's exactly what my client believed too. Instead of cutting her calories again, we gradually increased them from 1,500 to over 2,200 while reducing the amount she was training. The result? She started getting stronger, losing inches, improving her body composition, and finally seeing progress again. In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly why we made that decision, what metabolic adaptation really is, how reverse dieting works, and why eating less isn't always the answer. If you've been stuck doing all the "right" things with little to show for it, this episode will help you understand what your body may actually need to move forward.
