Weight loss over the age of 40 is a different beast. It just is. 

Your body changes as you age, and you need to adjust your diet to accommodate those changes. 

The strategies you used when you were younger just won’t cut it anymore.

I have GOOD NEWS. You CAN continue to lose weight successfully in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond. But there are some things about your body you have to know. 

In my 20s and 30s, my body was much more flexible. My metabolism listened to me more. I could make small changes in nutrition and exercise, and my weight adjusted quickly. 

Now that I’m in my 40s, I still know the tweaks I need to make, but the impact takes longer to see. 

We each have a unique carbohydrate tolerance level. And you have to understand what your tolerance level is as you age and your hormones and body change. 

Not understanding your body will lead to some serious diet mistakes. 

Today we’re going to dive into the Top 10 Diet Mistakes People Make As They Age. Here are the first 3: 

#1: Not fully collapsing your fat mass
#2: Not prioritizing proteins
#3: Avoiding strength training
