Welcome to the Fat Loss School podcast! If you’ve been struggling with extra pounds, menopausal belly fat, feeling overwhelmed by too many diet options, on the borderline with health issues, and frustrated by past weight loss failures - especially if you’ve hit the fabulous fifty mark - then grab a seat because this podcast is your ultimate fat loss classroom. I am Amy Bryan, 30 year educator and certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss® online nutrition and fitness coach. I’ll be your teacher and guide to show you that losing fat and gaining energy - plus maintaining it long term - is truly possible even at our age. I know because I’ve been there. In my 30s & 40s, I did all the diets, tried all the gimmicks, over-exercised, lost and gained the same pounds over & over. At 50, I had accomplished so much - except in this one very important area - and was through wasting time and energy on temporary fixes! This podcast will teach lifestyle changes to shed the fat in a healthy way that you can sustain long term and change your health trajectory so you age with energy, independence, and confidence. Think of these few minutes together as a study hall with cheat sheets for fat loss and include topics like intermittent fasting, carb cycling, mindset reframing, and more. Grab your notebook, because class is officially in session, and it’s time to rewrite your wellness story! Connect with me at https://linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway
The Fat Loss School podcast is a fantastic resource for women over 50 who are looking to improve their health, lose weight, and develop a positive mindset. The episodes are filled with practical and inspiring thoughts, ideas, and suggestions that are backed by scientific evidence-based studies. As a woman over 50 myself, I find it incredibly helpful to hear from experts who can guide me on the best ways to manage my health and be the best version of myself.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the expertise and knowledge of Coach Amy Bryan. As a former FASTer Way to Fat Loss Coach and now a mentor coach, Amy knows exactly how to teach effective fat loss strategies to others and empower them to take ownership of their own health journeys. Her delivery style is easy to follow and her explanations are clear and concise. She provides valuable insights and action items that listeners can use to improve their health.
Another positive aspect of this podcast is the length of the episodes. They are short, which makes it easy for busy women over 50 to fit them into their day. The content is right to the point, without any unnecessary fluff or tangents. This makes it easier for listeners to absorb the information and apply it in their own lives.
On the downside, some listeners may feel that the episodes are too focused on fat loss and may prefer a more well-rounded approach that also includes topics like overall wellness, mindset, and self-care. While weight loss is certainly an important goal for many women over 50, it would be beneficial to have a broader range of topics covered in order to address all aspects of health.
In conclusion, The Fat Loss School podcast is an excellent resource for women over 50 who want to improve their health and achieve their weight loss goals. Coach Amy Bryan's expertise shines through in every episode as she delivers valuable information in an engaging manner. While there could be room for improvement in terms of diversifying the topics covered, overall, this podcast is a must-listen for any woman over 50 looking to transform her health and mindset.
Today I am throwing out the wellness myths, the silly trends, and celebrating the freedom that comes from finally understanding what works—and what's just hype. Here's the truth: most women over 50 have tried all the things—Keto, detox teas, bulletproof coffee, the ab roller and thigh master, chronic cardio—you name it. But today? We're smarter. We're done chasing trends. And the FASTer Way is not a trend—it's science-backed, sanity-saving, and actually sustainable long term. Join me today to look at the wellness trends that are no longer trendy, because they never worked in the first place.

Since it's Memorial Day weekend that this episode airs, today, we're mapping out your summer. ☀️ But before we hit the gas, I want you to picture this: Where do you want to arrive when summer wraps up?

Our standard American diet is making us fat, sick, and starving for real satisfying nutrition.

I want you to be able to stick with your actions so you can reach your goals. So today I am sharing 20 strategies to help you be consistent with healthy eating and exercise. All of them won't be for you as everyone has different tendencies and motivations. But there are likely a handful that will be magic for you!

Today's episode shares examples of searches for the right diet plan - and how the simplest, healthiest, and most sustainable plan is inevitably the one that will work.
