How To Lose Weight After 30 WITHOUT Dieting
In this letter, I share how to lose 10–20 pounds with simple and sustainable habits that actually fit your lifestyle.
If you want to lose 10-20 pounds and actually keep it off your good, it’s more sustainable to think about building habits that fit your lifestyle rather than just focusing on eating less and just working out more.
Simply put, the “eat less, move more” advice means cutting calories and cranking up your exercise.
And yes, if you slash calories and overdo workouts, you might see some progress.
But relying only on that perspective is an easy way to burn yourself out, cause yourself to have a nasty rebound whenever that approach becomes unsustainable, and keep comparing yourself to others who follow the same approach but “seem” to have it all figured out.
Why?
Because it rely sully on this concept that you should always be doing more, eating less, and chasing someone else’s standard.
Think about it… there are two sides to weight loss.
👉 The amount of energy you consume.
👉 The amount of energy you expend.
So most people start cutting calories.
Then, when things stall (which they inevitably do), they cut even more and push even harder in the gym.
They often repeat this cycle until they hit a breaking point.
The Real Progress Killer
After reaching that breaking point, most women blame themselves for not being disciplined enough.
So they jump right back in and try harder.
🔁 And round and round it goes.
Now, some women actually white-knuckle their way through this cycle.
They stick with crash diets and over-exercising for months or even years.
In this scenario, confidence drops, energy tanks, and weight rebounds.
And all the while, you’re looking around thinking,
“Why is it so easy for her and so hard for me?”
The Solution?
Think about weight loss in terms of simple and sustainable habits that your body and lifestyle can actually support.
Sustainability is adaptive — not rigid.
If we know it’s adaptive, that means we want to send the right signals to your metabolism to allow it to function properly.
So what would someone with long-term success do?
✅ Eat enough to fuel her body while still creating a small, steady deficit
✅ Strength train a few times a week to protect her metabolism and muscle
✅ Prioritize sleep and stress management so her body actually responds
✅ Use maintenance phases to reinforce progress instead of constantly dieting
The Simplest Formula for Fat Loss
1️⃣ Create a small calorie deficit.
2️⃣ Set short timelines (6 weeks) to focus on progress.
3️⃣ Focus on process-based goals like steps, protein, and strength training.
4️⃣ Spend equal time in maintenance phases to reinforce progress.
5️⃣ Repeat the cycle until you reach your goal.
💡 Your unique factors (like hormones, lifestyle, and schedule) will make a difference in sustainability.
💡 Your mindset (especially comparing yourself to others) is often the biggest barrier.
Outside of that?
It’s smooth sailing if you give yourself the time and patience to let this process work.
But You Don’t Have to Guess If This is Working
It’s much easier (and way more effective) to have expert guidance so you get a clear path tailored to YOU.
If you’re ready to finally stop guessing, stop comparing, and start seeing real, lasting results…
