The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast The Top 5 Diet Mistakes Sabotaging Your Fat Loss Over 50 (And What to Do Instead!)
If you’re over 50 and still struggling to lose fat, build muscle, or feel good in your own skin… you’re not alone - and you’re definitely not broken.
But you might be making one of the five most common nutrition mistakes Coach Kevin sees every single day in his coaching practice.
👉 Spoiler alert: He made every one of them himself.
In this episode, Coach Kevin dives into:
· Why eating less isn’t always the answer - and can actually backfire
· The truth about protein intake and how much you really need after 50
· How the weekend could be wrecking your progress (even if you’re “good” Monday through Friday)
· Why fad diets like keto, intermittent fasting, and “fat-burning smoothies” are setting you up to fail
· The surprisingly common mistake of undereating - yes, even if you’re overweight
· BONUS: How ignoring sleep and stress can undo all your best nutrition efforts
This episode is your no-BS blueprint to ditching diet frustration and finally seeing results - without falling for gimmicks or starving yourself into submission.
