8 Tips for Women over 40 to Lose Weight on Keto
- Many women find as they age their abdomens thicken and their weight increases no matter what they try. I’m here to give you hope.
- Many women try adopting the low-carb or keto way of eating but get frustrated because they aren’t achieving the results they want.
- If you are eating keto and want better results, I’ve come up with 8 options for you to look at to get you past your weight loss challenges.
- Don’t eat too much protein: Women need less protein and can much more easily over-consume protein compared to men. If you and your husband are eating the same size steak, you are eating too much. The easiest way to figure it out is to take half your body weight and eat that amount of protein. Adjust it as you lose weight. Too much protein interferes with burning ketones and fat.

8 Tips for Women over 40 to Lose Weight on Keto
8 Tips for Women over 40 to Lose Weight on Keto
- Before I began my own Keto journey, I owned a successful marketing and branding agency, where the demands of my business life led to my being overweight and dealing with multiple health challenges. Every day left me depleted of energy, suffering with Gerd, plantar fasciitis, migraine headaches, severe brain fog and prediabetes. (in a glamour focused business that required tireless hours, endless creativity, and spunk…of which I had none).
- I honestly found Keto because I was desperate to save my life. My day-to-day life had become too difficult and if I was to live out the rest of my life feeling the way I did, I couldn’t bear it another day. I haven’t looked back since I found Keto over 3 years ago. At that point I thought…what have I got to lose…and it ended up being the opposite… I had so much to gain. Keto gave me my life back. Fast forward to today… I’ve lost 40 pounds; reversed prediabetes and all my health problems are gone!

How to Stay Keto During the Holidays... Surviving & Thriving
- Have you fallen off the keto wagon? Are you bloated with body pains, headaches, brain fog, lack of energy and maybe even a little grumpy? Did that one small bite of non-keto food seem harmless, but it led to you to falling off the wagon with your face planted in some irresistible bread or dessert? If we aren’t mindful it’s easy to fall back into our destructive eating habits, hating the way we feel and gaining weight. We are all human with our own challenges in life. We stumble and fall and then course correct as needed. I get it. It happens to the best of us and I’ve had it happen to me.
Keto & Comfort Foods
Keto vs. Low Carb. What's the Difference?
Keto vs. Low Carb. What's the Difference?
- The ketogenic diet is all about nourishing and healing our bodies with nutrient-dense whole foods. But food is more than just nourishment; food is tradition, food is love, food is celebration and most importantly, food is a comfort! When we think of eating a particular meal or the smell of a favorite childhood dish it brings up positive memories. Let’s face it…our lives revolve around food! When you begin the Keto diet, you don’t have to forget to enjoy food. Instead, embrace the Keto diet with a little creativity and seek out comfort foods you love that taste amazing! (without the carb coma or weight gain)
Keto vs. Low Carb. What's the Difference?
Keto vs. Low Carb. What's the Difference?
Keto vs. Low Carb. What's the Difference?
- You hear a lot about how Keto and low carb are interchangeable. Most people think of Keto as a low carb diet…and it is. There is, however, a difference between the two diets. When you are eating a Keto diet, you’re burning fat (ketones) for energy instead of carbohydrates (glucose) on a low carb diet. Even though you are eating low carb, you are still using carbs for your fuel. And, the amount of carbs consumed is much higher on a low carb diet. Keep in mind that just because you reduce the amount of carbs you eat does not mean that you’re burning body fat for energy.
A Family Approach to Weight Loss

- As a Mom if you put an emphasis on health it will motivate your children to eat better and be more active. Your involvement is crucial, and even better, get the entire family on board, engaged and focused on health. It changes the focus from losing weight to choosing the right foods and being active to stay healthy. When everyone in the family gets involved, it demonstrates that eating the right foods isn’t just “a diet for losing weight”, but that it’s a way of being strong, committed to health and that it’s good for the entire family!

How Did My Keto Client go from a 3-Month Stall to a Loss of 9 pounds in Just One Week?
- Those on the dirty Keto diet might use some ratio principles of Keto to indulge on traditionally unhealthy snacks and food. Think processed foods like pork rinds, protein bars, fast foods.

She didn’t want to give up and knew she needed nuanced guidance to help to get her there.

Why Keto is the Perfect Diet for Busy Moms
- People find success every day without a coach. It’s totally possible for you to find success without a coach. But perhaps that’s not the best question. Instead of asking if you NEED a coach, perhaps you should ask if a coach will allow you to avoid the frustrating mistakes that can plague your journey to Keto success; can a coach get you there faster and with better results?

- Are you new to Keto and need some encouragement? Congratulations for making the decision to choose the Keto lifestyle. Going Keto, particularly if you’re not coming from a low-carb lifestyle, could have some challenges in the beginning since it’s a big change in the foods you eat and your mindset has to be in the game.
- It’s an easy diet but may seem complicated until you learn the ropes and start reaping the amazing benefits of Keto. It’s worth it! Just Keep Going and here are a few tips to keep you Keto Strong.
Is There a Mindset Involved with Keto
Have You Been Cheating? And, Want to Get Back into Ketosis Fast
Is Keto Worth It? Yes, Just Keep Going Once You Start
- Yes, there is a mindset to doing the Keto diet and it’s not a one-size fits all for everyone. We are all different and Keto requires customization. Mindset, however, is not negotiable because it’s such a vital component that is directly tied to your success, results and ability to make it a sustainable way of life. Keto is more than a diet, it’s a lifestyle change
- We’d look at what foods you crave, what foods you can’t live without, your expectations, goals and desires that you want Keto to provide and much more. You can have the perfect Keto plan mapped out, all the right foods in your house and an app to track your progress but without the right mindset it won’t pay off.
Has Keto Betrayed You? Consider Taking it Back into Your Life

- Did you try Keto only to feel betrayed? Maybe you had success initially then the weight loss stopped. Maybe it was too difficult with all the crazy rules, macro counting, app tracking, intermittent fasting, etc. and it was producing small results. Maybe the “rules” depending on where you got your advice, was confusing and conflicting. It's all too easy to get caught up in the specific rules of Keto. Many give up and think they’ve done something wrong. They didn’t know where to turn or how to start over differently. It wasn’t their fault.

The beauty about Keto is you can begin again at any time and the sooner the better!
