Most women over 40 are either under- or overeating. Both options use guessing, and that's what's keeping you stuck.

In Part 2 of the Permanent Weight Loss Masterclass, I'm walking you through the exact math behind a calorie deficit that scientifically works, burns fat without tanking your metabolism, and leaves you hungry.

This is a workshop-style episode. Have your phone or calculator ready. By the end, you'll have your specific calorie maintenance and deficit written down.

In this episode, we cover:

What a calorie deficit actually is (and the one mistake that makes it backfire)
Why 1,200 calories is a toddler's intake, and why eating more can speed up fat loss
How to calculate your BMR and TDEE in under 10 minutes
The difference between a conservative and aggressive deficit, and how to pick the right one for you
Why you need a "Diet Deadline", and what happens if you skip this step

The bottom line: If you don't know your number, you're guessing. Guessing leads to under- or overeating, a metabolic slowdown, and rebound weight gain. This episode fixes that.

👋🏻 ABOUT ME:

I'm Andrea, a certified nutrition and fitness coach and founder of Behind the Body. I spent years doing cardio and avoiding weights because I just wanted to be skinny, and I didn’t understand the impact it would have. At 40, I did a lifestyle overhaul, and I finally started lifting 3-4 times per week. Now at 44, I have the strong, toned body I'd been chasing for decades. I've maintained these results for over 8 years with the same simple approach. Now I help women over 40 stop overcomplicating fitness and start building sustainable strength.
