Well Beyond 40

Best Diet for Fat Loss (and it Includes Chocolate!)


Listen Later

I invite you to join me in a deep dive into why dark chocolate should be part of your fat-loss strategy—yes, you read that right! This episode reveals why bitter dark chocolate actually satisfies sweet cravings, lowers your appetite-stimulating hormones, enhances metabolism, and supports insulin sensitivity. I break down the complete fat loss picture for women in perimenopause and beyond, explaining why muscle is your metabolic superpower and how protein, fat, and fiber create the ultimate satiety trifecta. Learn about resistant starch foods that can boost fat burning by 20-30% after meals, and discover my everyday strategies for managing portions, cravings, and creating a sustainable eating approach that works specifically for your body's unique needs.


Listen to my interview with Dr. Annette Bosworth
