Fat Loss School for Women Over 50 | Lose Weight After Menopause with Healthy Food, Intermittent Fasting, Carb Cycling, Macros & Mindset
Welcome to the Fat Loss School podcast! If you’ve been struggling with extra pounds, menopausal belly fat, feeling overwhelmed by too many diet options, are on the borderline with health issues, and are frustrated by past weight loss failures - especially if you’ve hit the fabulous fifty mark - then grab a seat because this podcast is your ultimate fat loss classroom. I am Amy Bryan, 30 year educator and certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss® online nutrition and fitness coach. I’ll be your teacher and guide to show you that losing fat and gaining energy - plus maintaining it long term - is truly possible even at our age. I know because I’ve been there. In my 30s & 40s, I did all the diets, tried all the gimmicks, over-exercised, lost and gained the same pounds over & over. At 50, I had accomplished so much except in this one very important area and was through wasting time and energy on temporary fixes! This podcast will teach lifestyle changes that shed the fat in a healthy way that you can sustain long term and change your health trajectory so you age with energy, independence, and confidence. Think of these few minutes together as a study hall with cheat sheets for fat loss and include topics like intermittent fasting, carb cycling, mindset reframing, and more. Grab your notebook, because class is officially in session, and it’s time to rewrite your wellness story! Connect with me at https://linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway

📝 Pop Quiz Time! True or False: Summer is the worst time to focus on fat loss because of BBQs, beach trips, and zero routine. What do you think?
If you said “true,” you've got to listen to today's episode. Summer is actually a secret weapon when it comes to fat loss, especially if you're over 50 and ready to stop starting over every September. I share 5 reasons summer is actually a great time to get started.
Since it’s Memorial Day weekend that this episode airs, today, we’re mapping out your summer. ☀️
But before we hit the gas, I want you to picture this:

But the part that no one talks about enough is this: most people regain the losses. I share four strategies in today's episode that will help you keep from regainin...
Weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing. You could be losing fat, gaining lean muscle, getting stronger, feeling better… and that number on the scale might not budge. Or the scale number might even go up a little but you fit in your clothes better. What? How? Why? Today's episode explains this and gives you other data points to track true fat loss.
