EP: 93 Why Eating Less STOPS Working After 40

Send us Fan Mail

If you’re eating less, working hard and still not achieving the toned, sculpted body you want, another diet may be the last thing you need.

In this video, I explain why eating less can stop working after 40—and why losing weight doesn’t always improve your body composition. Creating a lean, defined physique requires building enough muscle to create shape and losing enough body fat to reveal it.

You’ll learn:

• How your body adapts to prolonged calorie restriction
• Why constantly under-eating can affect your metabolism, movement and hunger
• How dieting without proper protein and strength training can lead to muscle loss
• Why under-fueling makes it harder to train, progress and build muscle
• When eating more can actually support your long-term goals
• How to use my three-phase approach: Build, Reveal and Maintain

Fat loss should be used strategically—not treated as a permanent lifestyle. Depending on your body, dieting history and goals, you may need to spend time building muscle, restore calories to a healthy maintenance level or maintain your progress before beginning another deficit.
