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

On this Independence Day holiday, there will be fireworks, burgers, family gatherings… maybe even a frozen cocktail or a cold beer on the deck.
But here’s what I want to explore: How does alcohol affect your fat loss progress—and can you still enjoy your favorite drink without sabotaging your goals?
This is not about judgment. It’s about awareness, science, and intentional choices.
So whether you're cutting back, curious about mocktails, or sipping mindfully—this episode is for you.

Today we’re not just talking about summer health habits…we’re talking about FREEDOM.
This July, It’s time to declare your independence from:
Yo-yo dieting
Food guilt and confusion
That “I’ll start over in January” resolution lie
Because July 4th is right around the corner, and while the USA is celebrating freedom from British rule, I want you to celebrate freedom from food noise, the all-or-nothing mindset, andunrealistic rules that don’t work for women over 50
Let’s light a firecracker under the second half of your year, shall we?

Today I am throwing out the wellness myths, the silly trends, and celebrating the freedom that comes from finally understanding what works—and what’s just hype.
Here’s the truth: most women over 50 have tried all the things—Keto, detox teas, bulletproof coffee, the ab roller and thigh master, chronic cardio—you name it. But today? We're smarter. We’re done chasing trends. And the FASTer Way is not a trend—it's science-backed, sanity-saving, and actually sustainable long term.
Join me today to look at the wellness trends that are no longer trendy, because they never worked in the first place.
