Why Slimming World Works for Some Women Over 40 (But Not You & What to Do Instead)

Have you ever wondered why Slimming World or Weight Watchers stop working after 40? Maybe they helped you lose weight in your 20s or 30s, but now... nothing seems to shift. Or maybe your friend is flying on the same plan, and you’re stuck thinking "Why is it working for her and not for me?"

If you're a woman over 40 struggling with stubborn weight, low energy, or feeling like your body has stopped responding to the things that used to work, this episode will help you understand why, and what to do differently.

Inside this episode, I’ll break down:

Why traditional weight loss programmes for women over 40 often backfireThe impact of perimenopause and hormonal changes on your metabolismWhy Slimming World stops working in midlife (even if it used to help)The hidden cost of following calorie-controlled, carb-heavy diets after 40How to spot signs of metabolic damage from years of yo-yo dietingWhat a sustainable, hormone-friendly fat loss strategy looks likeHow to reset your metabolism without cutting carbs or counting calories

We’ll also explore the connection between female hormone imbalances, poor sleep, cravings, belly fat, and why fat loss after 40 is about more than just willpower or eating less.

This isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about restoring energy, building metabolic resilience, and supporting your body through midlife and menopause in a way that feels good, and lasts.
