Sometimes we get stuck in our tracks because of overwhelming choices and indecision. Another word for it is ANALYSIS PARALYSIS. There are so many options that you become confused, hesitant, and then make no decision at all…meaning no forward progress at all. Or fall for each get-skinny-quick scheme and have so much going on you are confused, tired, hangry, and still see no results. Today's episode shares examples of searches for the right diet plan - and how the simplest, healthiest, and most sustainable plan is inevitably the one that will work.

If quirky, fun, and silly things make our lives, work, and relationships richer, why are we not adding FUN to our nutrition and fitness routines?  If you look at exercise, food prep and cooking as dreaded chores, you are FAR less likely to workout and cook. But if you add some gamification, some silliness, and some fun into those things, you’ll be far more likely to do them in the first place and quite possibly start to enjoy them and feel amazing and proud that they are done! This episode will share ideas for adding some fun and silliness to your routine, habits, workouts, food prep, etc. You’d better believe you’ll be more likely to DO the hard things when you begin associating them with warm, delightful feelings.

Our standard American diet is making us fat, sick, and starving for real satisfying nutrition. We don't find that real nourishing and satisfying food in Snack Wells, Lean Cuisines, or even protein bars. We are missing the mark if we are trying to get healthy and lose fat with processed food-like substances. Today's lesson reminds us that nature's way of eating is also nature's way of preventing obesity.

Imagine doing all the "right things"—eating healthy, exercising, following every bit of conventional weight-loss advice—and still feeling stuck. That was the reality for my guest today, a 66-year-old health practitioner who was frustrated, exhausted, and struggling with stubborn belly fat, rising A1C levels, and a body that just wasn’t responding the way it used to.

If you’ve ever felt like your metabolism has stalled or that nothing works anymore, this episode is for you. Stay tuned as we dive into her journey, the shifts she made, and how YOU can break through the frustration and finally see results—at ANY age!

Welcome to the Fat Loss School podcast! If you’ve been struggling with extra pounds (menapausal belly fat), feeling overwhelmed by diet options, borderlining health issues, and frustrated by past weight loss failures - especially if you’ve hit the fabulous fifty mark - then grab a seat because this podcast is your ultimate fat loss classroom. 

 

I am Amy Bryan, 30 year educator and certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss® online nutrition and fitness coach. I’ll be your teacher and guide to show you that losing fat and gaining energy - plus maintaining it long term - is truly possible even at our age. In our 30s & 40s, we did all the diets, tried all the gimmicks, over-exercised, lost and gained the same pounds over & over. We are through with temporary fixes! Here you will learn lifestyle changes that shed the fat in a healthy way that you can sustain long term and change your health trajectory so you age with energy, independence, and confidence. Think of these few minutes together as a study hall with cheat sheets for fat loss like intermittent fasting, carb cycling, mindset reframing, and more. Grab your notebook, because class is officially in session, and it’s time to rewrite your wellness story!

Sometimes the strongest food cravings hit when you're at your weakest point emotionally. You may turn to food for comfort — consciously or unconsciously — when facing a difficult problem, feeling stressed or even feeling bored. 

Emotional eating can sabotage your weight-loss efforts. It often leads to eating too much — especially too much of high-calorie, sweet and fatty foods - the kind that are hardest to stop once you start.  The good news is that if you're prone to emotional eating, you can take steps to regain control of your eating habits and get back on track with your weight-loss goals.

This is FAT LOSS SCHOOL and you are about to learn the 6 best strategies for preventing emotional eating and disrupt the pattern of mood=food. Grab your pen to take notes and take action to prevent your next binge.

If your diet plan or program isn’t letting you choose the course that you want, then I encourage you to find a new program!  If you are a rebel like me…you question WHY a rule makes sense for you or are constantly looking for alternatives to the rule. If you are like me, you have found it nearly impossible to stick with a rigid plan - maybe even moreso in our 50s. We are grown, sophisticated, educated women and not interested in one-size-fits-all formulas for weight loss or miserable crash diets that we can’t sustain long term. We want to be able to customize and individualize. We want guard rails instead of strict rules. If this sounds good to you, I’m glad you are here because today I will be sharing all of the ways you can customize the FASTer Way to Fat Loss® for your unique needs, likes, limitations, and goals.

FASTer Way trainer Coach LeAnne Ash is today's guest sharing about eating gluten and dairy free. Gluten can trigger adverse reactions in some people because the peptides in gluten are resistant to stomach acids, making them hard to digest. Symptoms can range from mild indigestion to more serious health conditions. As for dairy…cows milk is appropriate to fatten up a child. But about 70% of the world’s adult population can’t digest dairy - leading to inflammation, autoimmune diseases, gut issues, and more. LeAnne is going to school us on how great we can feel - and how lean we can get - when we choose to bypass inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy. 

 

Here is LeAnne's favorite sourdough bread recipe: https://moonandspoonandyum.com/gluten-free-sourdough-bread/

Today’s lesson comes from a recovering emotional eater…we’re talking bags of M & Ms and pints of ice cream. Who can’t relate to over-eating on sugary foods like those? Her lesson is on rewiring your brain based on patterns and threats (or triggers) and is tied to her occupation (and I can’t wait for you to hear what her job was). Stick with us to the end for a fun freebie to help with your own emotional eating triggers.

Consistency matters! You can’t exercise hard on Saturday and it be enough for the week - just like you can’t brush your teeth on Saturday and it be enough for the week. What you do once (even at 100% effort), isn’t as powerful as what you do regularly. 

We all know that but the struggle to be consistent is real for many women. I want you to be able to stick with your actions so you can reach your goals. So today I am sharing 20 strategies to help you be consistent with healthy eating and exercise. All of them won’t be for you as everyone has different tendencies and motivations. But there are likely a handful that will be magic for you! I want to put this struggle behind you and for you to be known for CONSISTENCY in healthy eating and exercise!

A LOT of women in their 50s become frustrated that the hormonal changes of menopause cause weight gain - especially around the midsection. What worked for weight loss in our 30s and 40s no longer works. If you are eating healthy (plenty of whole foods, protein & fiber), but still not seeing the weight come off, you probably need a different type of exercise. We now know that "exercise more" isn’t working. Listen to today’s mini-lesson for the top 4 types of exercise that are most effective for women over age 50.

Are you a DIY (do it yourself) pro? Can you figure most any process out with Google and YouTube? How is that working for weight loss though?

Do you feel more like a hamster on a wheel…working so hard but getting nowhere. And the scale isn’t moving.

There are so many options out there when you are looking to lose weight. Keto, Mediterranean, Noom, Optavia, gastric band, Ozempic, Weight Watchers, and so many more…and more are surely coming our way to grab our false hope, our money, and can make it harder to lose weight with the next try. Unfortunately, most of these so-called solutions result in only temporary losses. As a very educated and fit woman at nearly 58 years old, I want to educate you so you don’t fall for the promises of fast weight loss anymore. True FAT LOSS and body composition change are different from simple weight loss. True FAT LOSS that is sustainable long term, simply does not happen fast. Today’s podcast will look at some common problems with popular diet plans - from their own warnings and cautions - and will reveal a common thread among them all…Ready for it? Welcome to popular diet pitfalls 101 class!
