  • Summary

  • Have you been carefully sticking to a 1200-calorie per day diet during the week, only to reward yourself with a cheat day on the weekend?

    While this approach might seem like a good balance, it could actually be sabotaging your progress!

    In this episode of 40+ Fitness for Women, I break down why super low-calorie diets and cheat days aren’t as effective as you think—especially for women in perimenopause and menopause.

    Tune in as I discuss:

    • Why 1200-calorie per day diets leave you feeling exhausted and frustrated
    • How cheat days often undo all your hard work
    • Why you should think of your calories like a budget—and how to manage them better
    • A smarter, more sustainable approach to fat loss
    • My own experience with tracking and managing calories for consistent results

    If you’ve been dieting and feel stuck, this episode will help you rethink your strategy for better, more sustainable progress.
