In this episode, I’m diving deep into how women over 40 can heal their metabolism to lose weight more easily. We’ll talk about the ways quick-fix diets can damage your metabolism, creating that exhausting cycle of losing weight only to gain it back – and how to finally break free from it.
### Here’s What We’ll Cover:
- **The Diet-Driven Yo-Yo**: Many popular diets may actually be making it harder for you to keep weight off. If you’ve been on multiple diets, done extreme calorie restriction, or struggle to maintain weight loss, you’re not alone.
- **Signs Your Metabolism Needs Support**: Does it feel like you’re eating less but still struggling to lose weight? Are you relying on cardio, cutting carbs, or skipping strength training in hopes of faster results? These may be signs that your metabolism isn’t optimized.
### How to Heal and Strengthen Your Metabolism
1. **Assess Your Metabolism**: First, get a clear picture of your metabolic health. Track your food intake for a week, and evaluate if your calories align with what you should be able to maintain.
2. **Reverse Diet to Maintenance**: If you find you’re in a big calorie deficit, we’ll talk about reverse dieting – gradually increasing calories to reach your true maintenance level without gaining weight.
3. **Fuel the Fire**: Imagine your metabolism as a campfire. Eating enough is like adding logs, keeping the fire burning strong. Not eating enough, though, lets the fire die down, making it harder to stay warm (or, in this case, lose weight).
Alongside these steps, we’ll explore why muscle mass is crucial, how to build strength without fear of bulkiness, and the role sleep and stress play in supporting a healthy metabolism. Remember, you don’t have to stay stuck in the weight-loss cycle – healing your metabolism is the key to lasting results.
Until next time, my friends, be resilient.
