306: Part One: If I Needed to Lose 10–20 Pounds After 40, Here’s Exactly What I’d Do
Monday, 19 October, 2026
OVERVIEW What would I do if I needed to lose 10–20 pounds again today? A lot of the fundamentals I used years ago would stay the same: protein, strength training, walking, a calorie deficit, consistency, and patience. The difference is that today, after two decades of coaching women, I would approach the process with a much deeper understanding of metabolism, hormones, muscle preservation, recovery, behavior change, and what actually makes fat loss sustainable. I would also be far less interested in simply getting the weight off as quickly as possible. SUMMARY In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I would approach fat loss today if I needed to lose 10–20 pounds again, especially as a woman over 40. We live in a world with more tools and information than ever before. AI can give you a meal plan. An app can calculate your macros. A wearable can give you data. A GLP-1 or peptide may be a helpful tool for the right person. The challenge is knowing what you actually need, how to customize the strategy, when to make a change, and when to stay the course. The goal is not just to lose 10 or 20 pounds. The goal is to lose it in a way that supports your metabolism, hormones, muscle, health, lifestyle, and long-term results. INSIDE THIS EPISODE, I COVER: Why I would assess my metabolism, lifestyle, stress, sleep, training, and dieting history before cutting calories Why I would use the smallest effective calorie deficit instead of dieting as aggressively as possible How I would prioritize protein and strength training to preserve muscle Why walking and daily movement would still be a huge part of my strategy The progress markers I would track beyond the scale How I would build the plan around real life, including kids, work, travel, social events, and busy seasons Why I would hire a coach even though I am a coach myself Where AI, macro apps, wearables, GLP-1s, and peptides can fit into a fat loss plan Why tools can support your strategy, but should never become the entire strategy Why understanding how you gained the weight matters just as much as knowing how to lose it How I would think about maintenance before I ever reached my goal weight Sustainable fat loss is not about constantly starting over.
