Fat Loss School | Lose Weight + Improve Hormones & Metabolism 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

Today’s lesson comes from a recovering emotional eater…we’re talking bags of M & Ms and pints of ice cream. Who can’t relate to over-eating on sugary foods like those? Her lesson is on rewiring your brain based on patterns and threats (or triggers) and is tied to her occupation (and I can’t wait for you to hear what her job was). Stick with us to the end for a fun freebie to help with your own emotional eating triggers.

I have questions all of the time that are so basic…not complicated questions like "how do I carb cycle" or "how do I determine my macros" but “is there an app or a Facebook group?” and “where do I sign up and what happens next” …just really basic info and I realize that I skip those important pieces of basic information in my enthusiasm to share the features of our program or the results. So, on today’s podcast episode I want to share exactly how my online class works for women over 50 looking to lose inches and pounds of fat in the next 6 weeks.

Imagine doing all the "right things"—eating healthy, exercising, following every bit of conventional weight-loss advice—and still feeling stuck. That was the reality for my guest today, a 66-year-old health practitioner who was frustrated, exhausted, and struggling with stubborn belly fat, rising A1C levels, and a body that just wasn’t responding the way it used to.
But then, she found the FASTer Way—and everything changed.
She didn’t just lose weight—she transformed her body and her health. Her belly fat melted away, her A1C dropped, her energy and strength came back, and she finally reached her goal weight without feeling deprived or miserable.
If you’ve ever felt like your metabolism has stalled or that nothing works anymore, this episode is for you. Stay tuned as we dive into her journey, the shifts she made, and how YOU can break through the frustration and finally see results—at ANY age!

Consistency matters! You can’t exercise hard on Saturday and it be enough for the week - just like you can’t brush your teeth on Saturday and it be enough for the week. What you do once (even at 100% effort), isn’t as powerful as what you do regularly. 
We all know that but the struggle to be consistent is real for many women. I want you to be able to stick with your actions so you can reach your goals. So today I am sharing 20 strategies to help you be consistent with healthy eating and exercise. All of them won’t be for you as everyone has different tendencies and motivations. But there are likely a handful that will be magic for you! I want to put this struggle behind you and for you to be known for CONSISTENCY in healthy eating and exercise!

Sometimes we get stuck in our tracks because of overwhelming choices and indecision. Another word for it is ANALYSIS PARALYSIS. There are so many options that you become confused, hesitant, and then make no decision at all…meaning no forward progress at all. Or fall for each get-skinny-quick scheme and have so much going on you are confused, tired, hangry, and still see no results. Today's episode shares examples of searches for the right diet plan - and how the simplest, healthiest, and most sustainable plan is inevitably the one that will work.
