Fat Loss School for Women Over 50 | Lose Weight After Menopause with Healthy Food, Intermittent Fasting, Carb Cycling, Macros & Mindset
Welcome to the Fat Loss School podcast! If you’ve been struggling with extra pounds, menopausal belly fat, feeling overwhelmed by too many diet options, are on the borderline with health issues, and are frustrated by past weight loss failures - especially if you’ve hit the fabulous fifty mark - then grab a seat because this podcast is your ultimate fat loss classroom. I am Amy Bryan, 30 year educator and certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss® online nutrition and fitness coach. I’ll be your teacher and guide to show you that losing fat and gaining energy - plus maintaining it long term - is truly possible even at our age. I know because I’ve been there. In my 30s & 40s, I did all the diets, tried all the gimmicks, over-exercised, lost and gained the same pounds over & over. At 50, I had accomplished so much except in this one very important area and was through wasting time and energy on temporary fixes! This podcast will teach lifestyle changes that shed the fat in a healthy way that you can sustain long term and change your health trajectory so you age with energy, independence, and confidence. Think of these few minutes together as a study hall with cheat sheets for fat loss and include topics like intermittent fasting, carb cycling, mindset reframing, and more. Grab your notebook, because class is officially in session, and it’s time to rewrite your wellness story! Connect with me at https://linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway

Since it’s Memorial Day weekend that this episode airs, today, we’re mapping out your summer. ☀️
But before we hit the gas, I want you to picture this:
Where do you want to arrive when summer wraps up?
Come September, do you want to feel leaner, stronger, more energized? Or maybe just steady and proud that you didn’t throw your goals out the car window?
Whatever your destination is, you get to define it. That’s the key: Summer success doesn’t have one lane. You choose the road that works for you.
Today I am sharing three summer routes I see women take again and again. Maybe one of these sounds like the summer you need. If you plan for it and prioritize it, you can make it happen.

Ever feel like you could live a healthier lifestyle… if you could just get your life together first? If the chaos of your calendar, the clutter in your pantry, or the endless to-do list has you feeling stuck, you're not alone.
The truth is, fat loss isn’t just about food and fitness—it’s also about systems that support your success. And when life feels disorganized, it’s easy to believe that consistency is out of reach.
That’s why in this episode, I’ve invited an expert in organization to help us tackle the behind-the-scenes stuff—your time, your space, and your meals—so you can finally feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
We’ll talk:
How to make space in your calendar for workouts and meal prep
How to set up your pantry and fridge so healthy choices are easier
Why organization isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being prepared
If you’ve ever said, “I just can’t get it together enough to be consistent,” this one’s for you.

Today’s topic is all about why keeping the weight off is such a struggle.
Most of us have been successful losing weight before. Even if it’s just a couple pounds, most of us have seen the scale dip at some point—we’ve cut calories and exercised til we see weight loss. But the part that no one talks about enough is this: most people regain the losses. I share four strategies in today's episode that will help you keep from regaining the weight you've lost.

Weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing. You could be losing fat, gaining lean muscle, getting stronger, feeling better… and that number on the scale might not budge. Or the scale number might even go up a little but you fit in your clothes better. What? How? Why? Today's episode explains this and gives you other data points to track true fat loss.
