Frustrated by the weight gain that seems to happen after turning 40 despite maintaining your usual routine?

Do the diets that once seemed like magic now fail to make any difference, leaving you feeling defeated?

Even with careful attention to your diet and consistent physical activity, it might feel like your efforts are in vain. You've experimented with various diets, yet none have lived up to the success stories you've heard.

It can be incredibly discouraging, but you're not alone in this struggle.

In today's episode, Louise Digby takes another look at the myth that calories are all that matter and explores the real reasons why weight loss can become more challenging after 40. We're moving past the era of restrictive eating and number crunching to explore the broader factors contributing to effective and lasting weight management.

Prepare to leave behind the cycle of frustration and finally achieve your health goals!
