If you’re over 50 and feel like dieting has become harder, slower, and more frustrating than ever — you’re not imagining it.

 

What used to work in your 20s and 30s suddenly backfires:

🚫 The weight doesn’t budge

🚫 Hunger ramps up

🚫 Energy tanks

🚫 You regain weight faster than you lost it

 

And after a few decades of repeating this cycle, it’s easy to believe “Something is wrong with me.”

 

But the truth is much simpler (and far more hopeful)… you're not failing because you lack discipline - you're failing because you're using strategies designed for younger bodies.

 

In today’s episode, Coach Kevin breaks down:

  • Why dieting stops working after 50
  • What changes in your metabolism as you age
  • Why under-eating and over-cardio do more harm than good
  • The REAL reason you keep regaining weight
  • And the simple, sustainable approach that actually works for long-term fat loss

 

This episode is part myth-busting, part science, and part pep talk — but it all comes back to one core idea: You don’t need a smaller body — you need a healthier metabolism.

 

💪 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Why crash diets lead to muscle loss (and slower metabolism)
  • Why cardio is the most overrated fat loss strategy for older adults
  • The 3 big mistakes almost everyone makes after 50
  • Why your body resists weight loss more as you age
  • The metabolism-building approach that actually works
  • How to lose fat without starving yourself or wrecking your hormones
  • Why “punishment-based dieting” guarantees failure
  • The sustainable framework that makes fat loss easier — not harder

 

If you’ve lost the same 20 pounds over and over again, this episode explains why it keeps happening - and how to break the cycle for good.

 

Fat loss after 50 isn’t about burning more calories — it’s about building a metabolism that burns calories for you.
