Everybody is looking for the next big “secret” to losing weight after 40…but I’ve learned something:
The boring stuff works. 😂
I stopped trying to do EVERYTHING perfectly and started repeating a handful of simple habits I could actually stick with.
Here are my 6:
1. Intermittent fasting ⏰
I give myself a consistent eating window instead of grazing from morning until bedtime. It helps me be more intentional with what I eat and makes staying in a calorie deficit easier for me. Nothing magical about it—it’s just something that works for ME.
2. A high-protein breakfast 🍳
I’m totally fine eating basically the same thing over and over. 😂 Eggs, cottage cheese, chicken sausage, half a hash brown and hot sauce is one of my favorites.
Protein keeps me fuller longer, and having a go-to breakfast means one less decision I have to make.
3. LOTS of water + electrolytes 💧
I shoot for 100+ ounces of water a day and add electrolytes. I feel better, have more energy, and I’m way less likely to go wandering through the kitchen looking for something to eat when I’m really just thirsty.
4. 8–10K steps 👟
Outside, walking pad, running errands…I don’t care how I get them.
And some days I throw on my weighted vest because apparently simply walking isn’t annoying enough. 😂 It adds some extra resistance and makes those walks work a little harder for me.
5. Strength training 💪🏼
I don’t spend hours doing cardio because, quite frankly, I hate it. 😂
Give me some weights, a simple workout and let me get on with my life.
Especially after 40, maintaining muscle has become a HUGE priority for me.
6. Supporting my cortisol + daily stress ✨
THIS was the piece I ignored for way too long.
Supporting my body instead of constantly fighting against it has made it so much easier for me to stay consistent with my nutrition, movement and everyday habits.
None of this is sexy.
None of it is some revolutionary “weight-loss hack.”
It’s just simple stuff repeated over and over and over.
And THAT is what finally made the difference for me.
