@jennyjeanfitness_ifbbpro: If I was in my 40s and wanted to target fat loss (not just weight loss), here’s exactly what I’d do: 1️⃣ Hit full macros. Consistently. Calories + protein alone might move the scale. But fat loss requires balanced macros so your body holds muscle while dropping body fat. Under-eating carbs and fats randomly? That’s how you lose weight and look the same. Structure creates body composition change. 2️⃣ Tighten up the “fun food” ratio. In your 20s, 80/20 might work. In your 40s? It’s closer to 90/10. Not because you can’t enjoy life but because hormonal fat storage is less forgiving. More whole foods. More intention. Fewer daily “treats.” 3️⃣ Increase daily movement on purpose. Hit your steps every single day. Then raise your personal baseline. Most women think they’re active but NEAT (daily movement) is one of the biggest drivers of fat loss after 40. 4️⃣ Use cardio as a tool…not punishment. Strategic cardio improves insulin sensitivity and recovery. It supports fat loss when layered correctly. Random sweat sessions don’t. 5️⃣ Lift 3–4x per week. Minimum 30 minutes. Muscle is what tightens your stomach, shapes your arms, and keeps metabolism from crashing. If you’re not progressively lifting, you’re guessing. This isn’t extreme. It’s structured. And it’s the exact method we use with our 1:1 clients to help them lose their first 5–10 lbs of body fat and finally see their body change. If you want the step-by-step Blueprint to implement this on your own first …. Comment BLUEPRINT and I’ll send it to you 💙
