About this episode
If you're over 40 and trying to lose weight, make sure you're not making any of these five diet mistakes I’m about to share with you. Making even just one of them could get in the way of you losing fat, and instead cause you to gain weight! I’ve been working in the weight-loss world for four decades, and I’ve heard a lot of advice over the years. But some of the strategies you think are healthy are actually getting in the way of reaching your weight-loss goals. You may be tracking your data and avoiding certain foods—but are you tracking the right type of data? And are you making sure you’re getting enough of the one macronutrient that will have the biggest impact on your weight and body composition? Tune in and find out the top five mistakes I see people making over and over again, and maybe you’ll finally find your stumbling block if you’ve been doing all of the “right” things to lose weight, but are still struggling to reach your goals.
