Introduction

If you're over 40 and struggling to lose weight, you're not alone—and you're not failing.

Many women reach this stage of life and suddenly find that the strategies that once worked—cutting calories, exercising more, skipping meals—no longer produce the same results. It can feel frustrating, confusing, and even discouraging.

This book is your roadmap to working with your body instead of against it.
