But when I finally leveled up to return to my lean, strong, confident self, I was hit with another challenge: The perimenopause season got me. How I was eating and training wasn’t working for me - I started to freak out, thinking I was slowly aging...
But this was the “aha” moment I needed to regain control of my life and not give up on myself.
After 40, I became obsessed with learning about female metabolism and hormones and how vital muscle is to keep living. STRONG & SEXY for the rest of my life. Muscle is anti-aging.
And that is why I am on a mission to impact women 40+ (yes, it starts in mid-30s) to look and feel better than they did in their 20s.
The Truth About Dieting: Why Quick Fixes Always Fail
The average person tries 4-5 diets a year, spending hundreds of dollars chasing quick fixes that don’t work long-term. These approaches often focus on the same tired formula: eat less, lose weight. While a calorie deficit can help you drop pounds, it’s not the end goal, nor is it sustainable for a lifetime to maintain your dream body.
Anybody can lose weight by eating fewer calories, but what happens after that? Living in a constant deficit can slow your metabolism, drain your energy, and leave you feeling weaker—not stronger.
If you want real, lasting results, you need to stop chasing shortcuts and start mastering the basics: consistent training, proper nutrition, and the right mindset.
Why a Deficit Isn’t the Final Result
Sure, eating less might help you lose weight initially. But what happens when you’ve been in a deficit for too long?
1️⃣ Your Metabolism Slows: Prolonged calorie restriction teaches your body to burn fewer calories, making it harder to keep the weight off.
2️⃣ You Feel Weak, Not Strong: Without the right balance of nutrients and strength training, you risk losing muscle instead of building it.
3️⃣ It’s Not Sustainable: No one wants to live on salads and restrictions forever. The goal isn’t to eat less; it’s to eat in a way that supports your goals and lifestyle.
The Better Path: Build Muscle and Strengthen Your Metabolism
The real transformation happens when you move beyond the deficit and start working on building a stronger metabolism. Here’s how:
Build Muscle to Burn More: Muscle is metabolically active, meaning the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn—even at rest! Strength training is your best ally for creating a body that works efficiently for you.
Fuel Your Gains: A calorie deficit is just one phase of your journey. To truly transform, you need to eat enough to fuel your workouts, support muscle growth, and restore your metabolism.
Stop the Cycle: By focusing on building strength and eating to fuel your body, you break free from the endless cycle of yo-yo dieting and start living in a way that feels sustainable and empowering.
Discipline Over Quick Fixes: The New Year Mindset Shift
This year, instead of chasing another fad diet or a temporary solution, commit to building discipline and consistency. Here’s what that looks like:
1️⃣ Set Clear Goals: Do you want to build muscle, improve your metabolism, or achieve a lean, strong physique? Define your goals and create a plan to achieve them.
2️⃣ Train Smart, Not Just Hard: Consistent strength training 3-5 times a week is far more effective than endless hours of cardio or trendy workouts. Doing more, doesn't always mean better.
3️⃣ Eat for Long-Term Success: Learn to balance your macros, prioritize protein, and fuel your body for performance—not deprivation.
The end goal isn’t just to lose weight. It’s to look and feel great while eating more and thriving in your daily life. Imagine enjoying your meals, feeling strong in your workouts, and knowing that your body is working for you—not against you.
The Bottom Line:
This New Year, let’s leave behind the quick fixes that never last and focus on a sustainable approach that works. By building strength, growing muscle, and fueling your body, you’ll not only see the physical results you want but also create a lifestyle that supports your long-term health and happiness.
