Not all weight loss advice
Is good advice
Especially after 40
Number one
Eating 800 to 900 calories a day
Can lead to muscle loss
A slower metabolism
And rebound weight gain
Number two
Doing intense workouts every day
Without proper recovery
Can increase cortisol levels
And make fat loss harder
Number three
Cutting carbs completely
Or following very low carb diets
Can affect sleep
Hormones
And energy levels
Number four
Intermittent fasting every single day
Can increase stress on the body
And make it harder
To maintain muscle
Number five
Relying only on 10,000 steps a day
Walking is great
But strength training is essential
For long term fat loss after 40
Key message
The goal is not to eat less
And exercise more forever
The goal is to build a stronger metabolism
With protein
Strength training
Recovery
And consistency
