The Real Reason Low-Carb Women (& Men) Become ‘Skinny Fat'.
The Real Solutions (That Actually Work Over 40)
Eat enough - not just low carb
A lot of low-carb women are secretly under-eating, which drives up-
- Cortisol
- Blood sugar
- Insulin resistance
FitnHealthy Fix -

Muscle = glucose disposal. No muscle leads to no place to store sugar leads to prediabetes or Diabetes..
FitnHealthy Fix-

You can be low carb AND have high sugars because of cortisol, not carbs.
FitnHealthy Fix-

Support Liver Function
Many women over 40 have livers that are stressed from-
- Low carb
- Too much fat
- Under-eating
- High caffeine
- High stress
- Menopause shifts
FitnHealthy Fix-
- Add fruit (best carb for the liver) Caution - The proper amount for You.

So is protein the most important?
YES - protein is the anchor.But…
If you ONLY increase protein without fixing stress, sleep, carbs, or muscle? You won’t fix prediabetes or Diabetes.
If you increase protein and combine it with -
- More muscle
- More minerals
- Less stress
- Better sleep
- Small carbs
You can reverse prediabetes and Diabetes 2 very FAST.
The BIG Question might be - How do I know the proper amounts of everything to add and reduce?
If you have lots of time and determination - You can guess, experiment, try different combinations

If you're looking for a faster answer - have a chat with someone that could give you some guidance, direction or coaching.
