Common questions

How do I stop impulse eating at night?

Nikkiey suggests noticing the trigger, such as boredom while watching Netflix, and pausing to ask whether you are really hungry. She also recommends brushing your teeth instead of eating and keeping unhealthy snacks out of the house so there is nothing there to grab.

Does cardio help you lose weight after 40?

JJ says that if you use cardio as a weight loss strategy you will fail, because it makes you hungrier and the minute you stop you start gaining weight. It also does nothing to build muscle, which she calls your metabolic currency.

Can you lose weight after menopause while eating more food?

Bryn did. She went from a size 8 or 10 to a size six and lost over 25 pounds while working up to more than 2,000 calories a day. Nikkiey explains that the muscle Bryn built raised her resting metabolic rate, which is what lets her eat more.

Is all protein created equal?

No. Nikkiey explains that protein sources differ in essential amino acids and bioavailability. Animal proteins are complete, many plant proteins are incomplete, and whole foods like chicken and meat also carry vitamins and minerals that processed protein powders and bars don't.
