Absolutely—and learning when and how to eat carbohydrates may be more useful than simply trying to eliminate them. In this episode of FAT LOSS SCHOOL, we’re going back to class for a lesson on carb cycling for women over 50. I’m breaking down what carb cycling is, why we strategically alternate lower-carb and regular-carb days, and how this nutrition strategy can fit into a healthy approach to fat loss, metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and body composition during menopause and beyond. We’ll also talk about why carbohydrates aren’t the enemy, the importance of pairing your nutrition with strength training, and why preserving and building muscle becomes increasingly important as we age. You’ll learn how protein, carbs, healthy fats, macros, exercise, and recovery can work together instead of relying on another restrictive low-calorie or low-carb diet. If you’re a woman in your 50s, 60s, or beyond who is frustrated with menopause weight gain, stubborn belly fat, changing metabolism, insulin resistance, or diets that no longer seem to work, this episode will help you better understand the role carbohydrates can play in your healthy lifestyle. It’s time to stop fearing carbs and start learning how to use them strategically. Grab your notebook—Carb Cycling 101 is officially in session!
