The 5 Weight-Loss Lies Keeping Women Stuck
For decades, women have been taught to lose weight by eating less, doing more cardio, and watching the number on the scale.
But losing weight is not always the same as becoming healthier.
In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down a recent meta-analysis showing that adults between 60 and 75 years old were able to lose body fat, gain lean muscle, improve blood pressure, and build functional strength through resistance training.
She also challenges five of the most persistent weight-loss myths women have been taught, including the idea that cardio is the best way to burn fat, hunger is a willpower problem, and the scale is the most important measure of progress.
You’ll learn how protein, resistance training, sleep, blood-sugar tracking, and progressive challenge can help you improve body composition without sacrificing your muscle or metabolic health.
Weight loss is not a character test. It is a strategy, and most women were simply given the wrong one.
