The Missing Piece of Your Fat Loss After 40 Success Is this why your hormones are out of whack...? Macros. Strength training. These are undoubtedly crucial components of a successful fitness journey. But there's one more piece to the puzzle that often gets overlooked: sleep. Without sufficient sleep, even the most dedicated workout routines and carefully planned diets can fall short.

Yet, when women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s aim to tone up, many of us find ourselves falling into that same restrictive mindset. It’s incredible how society continues to accept restrictive diets, thinking it's somehow okay for older women to deprive themselves of the nutrition they need—while cringing at the sight of young girls doing the same. The truth? There is NO age at which it’s healthy or effective to deprive yourself. The Fallacy of Restrictive Dieting Why take 20 steps backward for only 10 steps forward?
