When I met Maria in our first midlife weight loss consultation, I explained why another diet wasn’t the answer and how breaking the diet cycle in midlife would require a different approach.
Like so many midlife women, Maria had spent years dieting, losing weight, and re-gaining it back, believing this was simply how weight loss worked. She wasn’t lacking discipline or knowledge. Dieting, unfortunately, was the only framework she’d ever known.
Even Nutri-System felt normal to her as her ex-husband worked there.
But diets never addressed real issues for Maria. Her habits, mindset, and need for sustainable and flexible. Instead of another diet, we focused on building skills Maria could live with long term that are flexible and practical.
The result? Maria lost 20 pounds in a way that felt supportive, empowering, and sustainable.
