If you're a woman over 40 who wants to lose 30 pounds or more and keep it off, you already know that you can't simply burn it off. Even if that worked for you in your 20s and 30s, it won't work in this phase of life. The only way to achieve that goal is to learn to eat for sustainable weight loss. But, how do we do that in this phase of life?

On quick pass through your social media feed will lead you to believe that you need to count your macros, detox your body, do a juice fast, drink a special tea to balance your hormones, and the list goes on and on. While there could be some utility to most of the approaches you see, if you want the simplest, most distilled version, of what's necessary to eat for sustainable weight loss as a woman in your 40s and beyond, this episode is for you.

Giving up sugar isn't a required step on the journey to sustainable weight loss. As a matter of fact, learning to eat sugar in moderation is a a required skill, if you plan to enjoy bread, dessert, and cocktails as a part of your lifestyle. However, managing the middle ground between giving up sweets and eating them with wreckless abandon is rarely addressed with any level of specificity. "Just eat in moderation" sounds great, but most of us have tried that and failed miserably. The problem isn't our willpower. The problem is that most of us have never been taught the strategy behind making that advice a reality in our daily lives.

This episode outlines that strategy. If you enjoy bread, cocktails, and dessert and you have a weight loss goal, you can't afford to skip this episode.

If you're tired of counting calories like a glorified Food Accountant, but serious about reaching your weight loss goal, this episode is for you. There is a simple, effective way to reach your goals without living and dying by the daily calorie count. However, it's going to take a little food education, a healthy dose upfront work, and a ton of awareness.

This episode breaks down exactly how you can attain this goal.

Sports are cancelled.

Graduations are cancelled.

In person classes are cancelled.

But, is personal fitness cancelled too? It depends on who you ask.

While I personally haven't cancelled personal fitness for myself, I know that for many it's not a priority right now. Even those of us who want to continue on a personal fitness journey may find that it needs to look very different than it ever has before. In this episode of the podcast, we discuss how to maintain your personal fitness in the age of Coronavirus.

I know you may not want to hear this but that list of 100 recipes you found on Pinterest is not going to help you create the variety you want in your healthy meals. At least not consistently.

Think about it. Aren't you tired of throwing away random ingredients that you could only use for that one recipe? What about taking almost an hour to cook dinner while you double check the recipe to make sure you are "doing it right"?

Sis, there's a better way to consistently eat healthy food without having to rinse and repeat that same chicken and broccoli. Here's an approach that can help you make it happen.

So, we know that cooking our meals at home gives us more control over our intake and our results. But, who has time to do that? Well? Errrrrry night of the week? Not you, right?

I used to think the same thing. As a matter of fact, I used to pride myself on my ability to order Figure Friendly meals ANYWHERE. While that is still a useful skill, I eventually got burned out on the restaurant food- and associated cost. However, I still wasn't willing to spend a lot of time in the kitchen to make meals each day. OK, let's be honest. I was only willing to spend about 15 minutes- max!

As per usual, I got busy answering the question, "what would it look like if I could (insert desire) even though I (insert limitation)". It took a little experimentation, but soon I was able to figure out how to consistently cook Figure Friendly Meals at home even though I'm not willing to spend more than 15 minutes in the kitchen creating them. Turns out, I figured out how to make it happen in 10 minutes or less. 

That's what we're talking about in today's episode.
