Episode 129: Why You’re Not Losing Fat (Even When You’re Eating Healthy)

Living On Mission

You’re eating clean—grilled chicken, salads, skipping desserts—but the scale just won’t budge. If you’re a midlife mom doing “all the right things” and still feeling stuck, this episode is for you.

We’re digging into why fat loss in your 40s and 50s requires a different strategy than it did in your 20s. It’s not about eating less—it’s about eating with purpose and learning how to steward your health through the lens of both science and Scripture.

You’ll walk away from this episode with clarity on what’s going wrong, what to change, and the encouragement you need to stop striving and start fueling your body and your spirit.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

• Why “healthy eating” often fails midlife women
• The hidden effects of under-eating and chronic cardio
• How stress and hormone shifts affect your metabolism
• What fat loss actually requires in this season of life
• The biblical truth about nourishment, rhythms, and stewardship
• How to fuel your body without falling into diet culture extremes
