Sustainable Weight Loss for Women Over 40 with Lhasa

Why You Keep Losing and Regaining the Same 20lbs

August 13, 2024 • Lhasa Hetherington • Season 1 • Episode 6

Episode Summary: In this episode, we dive deep into why traditional diets often fail, especially for women over 40. I share personal experiences and insights from coaching over 100 women through their weight loss journeys.

I explore the pitfalls of generic diet plans like Keto, Intermittent Fasting, and Low Carb, and why they often lead to temporary results and a frustrating cycle of weight loss and regain.

Key Takeaways:

The Diet Cycle: Many women experience a cycle of losing weight on diets, only to regain it once the diet ends. This is not due to a lack of willpower or effort, but because the diets themselves are not designed for long-term success.
Why Diets Fail: 95% of diets fail long-term because they don't account for individual differences in metabolism, body composition, preferences, and lifestyle.
Customization is Key: The most successful weight loss plans are those that are customized to the individual. This includes adjusting for factors like sleep habits, stress levels, movement patterns, and metabolic health.
The Importance of Muscle: Maintaining muscle mass is crucial for keeping your metabolism strong. Crash diets that cause rapid weight loss often result in muscle loss, making it harder to maintain your weight in the long run.
Sustainable Habits: Instead of cutting out entire food groups or following extreme restrictions, focus on creating sustainable habits that you can maintain for life.
