Nutrition vs. Exercise for Fat Loss: What Really Works for Women Over 40
Have you ever pushed yourself through grueling workouts, only to see the scale barely move—or worse, creep back up? If you’ve ever wondered whether diet or exercise matters more for fat loss, this episode with Max Lowery will give you the clarity you’ve been craving.
Max, an author, weight loss coach, and creator of the Live360 program, pulls back the curtain on one of the most confusing questions in the health world: Is it better to eat less or exercise more for fat loss? The truth, as you’ll hear, is far more practical (and far more freeing) than most diets and fitness programs would have you believe.
Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:
Why a calorie deficit is the foundation of fat loss—and why it’s so much harder to sustain than it sounds.
The hidden mistakes women make with exercise, like punishing themselves with 5–6 hard workouts per week that only drive up hunger and lead to overeating.
How food choices, hormones, sleep, gut health, and mindset all play into long-term success (and why willpower alone won’t cut it).
The surprising power of daily movement (NEAT)—why walking 10,000 steps can do more for your fat loss than endless HIIT sessions.
A sustainable model for fat loss: eat a little less, stay as active as possible, and choose exercise that feels like self-love, not punishment.
Max also shares practical tips you can start using today, like reducing snacks, extending your overnight fast (without extremes), eating more protein to stay fuller for longer, and finding enjoyable movement that works for your body.
If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of restrictive diets, January gym binges, or “earning your food” with exercise, this episode will help you step into a whole new way of approaching fat loss—one that’s simple, doable, and sustainable for life.
