FAT LOSS ISN'T ABOUT CONTROL

One of the biggest mindset shifts after 40 is this:

Fat loss improves when the body feels safe, not controlled.

Chronic stress tells your body:
⚠ conserve energy
⚠ hold fat
⚠ down-regulate metabolism

That’s why:
• under-eating stalls results
• over-training causes plateaus
• “being good” all week backfires

Regulation looks like:
✔ eating enough
✔ lifting instead of endless cardio
✔ walking, sleep, breath
✔ reducing guilt and food fear

Calm bodies respond better.
Supported bodies change faster.

This isn’t about letting go —
it’s about working with your body.
