Lose Belly Fat After 40 | Weight loss, Healthy meals, Imbalanced hormones, Body Recomposition, Strength training

Ever wonder what to eat and what not to eat to lose belly fat? 

Hey, I do not advocate for a diet or believe that dieting is the best way to lose weight. 

But it is clear that people who successfully lose weight and keep it off, do it through diet more than exercise.

And there is definitely a way to eat that is right when you work on improving body composition (losing fat and building muscle), including getting rid of visceral fat. 

So in this episode I share with you what to eat and what not to eat to burn belly fat and get the results you want on your waistline. 

I share very specific examples of foods to add to your diet, or to avoid, in order to control and reduce belly visceral fat. 

Here is the evidence-based diet to lose belly fat:

High protein

High polyphenol

Fermented food

Low-to-no processed carbs

No alcohol

Avoid processed foods

And if you like very specific food ideas and help to know exactly what to eat to lose weight and finally lose belly fat, then come to my free live workshop on September 17th.

I will share with you specific ideas to eat healthy so you can trim down and get stronger!

AND I HAVE DOOR PRIZES, so make sure you come hang out on Thursday September 17th 

I can't wait to meet you there! 

When it comes to eating well, eating enough protein and fibers to lose weight or stay healthy, the key is consistency. 

Eating nutritious foods daily. 

For people in their 40s, with a busy life, juggling carreer, family and health, this takes intentional effort. 

The proper tools - like those I am giving away in the Consistent Healthy Eating Workshop on September 17th - can help us make consistent healthy eating easier.

But sometimes, what comes in the way of consistency is our mindsets:

Today I share 3 ways mindsets keep us stuck in cycles of starting over, good days and bad days with foods and even going from extreme dieting to very unhealthy choices for our bodies.

And in this episode, you will also get the reframes for these mindsets.

Not because you have to follow a strict diet.

Because your body will not start changing until you become consistent at giving it what it needs to feel safe, let go of belly fat and build up strength. 

With consistency in healthy meals, a high-protein, high-fiber diet, you can finally trim down and get toned.

Today we look at the beliefs and ways to look at yourself that can be why you can't seem to be consistent with healthy habits and healthy eating.

In my FREE live workshop on Thursday, September 17th, I will share tools to make consistent healthy eating effortless for busy moms in their 40s who want to lose belly fat:

I know what it’s like when you feel called by the pantry.

The moment you stare inside your fridge for that little something sweet you are craving,

So you get up and go find the bag of chips that has been calling your name or the sweet treat you told yourself you’re not going to have because you shouldn’t have so many.

And I know that every time the food craving overrides your intentions, it makes you feel weak.

The answer my friend is not mustering more willpower.

You are not lacking in discipline.

What you are missing are SYSTEMS:

Solutions focused on redesigning the setup and environment so good habits happen naturally.

In this episode, we talk about those systems and healthy ways to respond to the cravings, so you stay in control and on track with losing belly fat.

But also so that you give yourself what you need in the moment,

And see that you are strong!

This episode gives you tools so cravings won’t derail you from eating highly nutritious foods, healthy foods, CONSISTENTLY and so you can progress on your body recomposition.

And in the live FREE workshop I have on Thursday, September 17th, I will give you 3 simple tools that make Consistent healthy eating effortless.

Do you have strong sugar cravings in the afternoon? Days when you can't get enough carbs?

There is often a physiological explanation for your cravings.

Understanding what is going on with your body will not only give you an appropriate way to deal with the cravings,

It is also my goal to help you see that the problem is not YOUR lack of willpower,

It is in fact, a signal, a message your body is sending you.

I share 5 of these messages with you today. Which one is your body sending YOU?

Once you learn how to decode it, it will become easier for you to prevent the craving or respond to it in a way that does not create shame, but that truly supports you, your needs and your goals so you can stay consistent with healthy eating, lose weight and lose belly fat.

In the free live workshop I have coming on September 17th, I will share with you a simple structure for your healthy meals that will curb your cravings and help you be more consistent with healthy eating, together with one sustainable habit and food ideas so you know exactly what to eat.

Come to the Consistent Healthy Eating to make it effortless. 

There is a way to eat that is easy, free of shame and guilt and helps you reach your weight loss goal, when you get simple tools.

You think you need more willpower, time, discipline, but they're finite resources. 

And when you feel like you can't white knuckle your way to resist the chocolate bar as a way to "treat" yourself, or the drink to relax out of your working day, 

YOU are not failing.

Instead of more discipline, you may in fact need stronger boundaries

Boundaries are not something you have to keep choosing.

Today we're talking about why boundaries — not shame-driven willpower — are the real lever for your health.

And I'll walk through exactly what that looks like with alcohol, food, and work.

Not sure where you need boundaries, or what they can look like?

If you are stuck in your weight loss and can't seem to get rid of belly fat no matter how hard you try, it could be because your body is in survival mode.

This happens - even if you don't think or recognize that this is happening - when:

- You have unresolved trauma from the past that is blocking your progress

Here is what you will get in this conversation with my guest Lori Owens:

This episode will show you how trauma and chronic stress are putting a cap on how good you can feel in your 40s and how it may explain why nothing is working for your weight loss.

Belly fat is a result of this.

I have coached over 80 men and women in their 40s in the last 3 months. They all are on Hormonal Replacement Therapy and most of them have a weight loss goal, or have mentioned having belly fat.

And something really stood out to me.

For most of those people, I noticed a pattern.

Something most of us would not recognize.

A pattern that creates a hormonal cascade in their body that actually makes it harder to lose belly fat.

A pattern that leads to never really being able to let go of the extra weight, no matter how hard they try.

A pattern that calorie restriction, intermittent fasting and trying harder only make worse.

You NEED to know about this pattern and hormone cascade.

Because it is stealing from your sex hormones, leading to low libido, exacerbated perimenopause symptoms and it results in more fat in your abdomen.

You NEED to know about this pattern and hormone cascade because it is wrecking your sleep.

My clients are already on hormonal therapy — and the same struggles keep showing up regardless. 

You NEED to listen to this episode if you have belly fat, you want to lose weight, you have broken sleep and low energy,

and you have been trying to fix each one as a separate problem — a sleep supplement here, a gym program there, cutting carbs somewhere else — without anyone ever drawing the line connecting them all.

In today’s episode, you will not only learn the pattern you may be missing that is explaining why weight loss feels impossible and belly fat is so stubborn.

You will also get my top 3 recommendation for people to break it.
