Get it here: https:\/\/kerstenkimura.com\/the-calorie-setup-guide\/   In this episode, I\u2019m sharing the 5 things I did to lose weight in 2020 and, more importantly, how I\u2019ve kept it off for the past 6 years. No dieting. No starving. No endless cardio. If you\u2019re tired of restrictive plans, exhausting workouts, and feeling like you have to \u201cstart over\u201d every Monday, this episode will give you a different way to approach fat loss. Between 2017 and 2019, I had to gain weight to support my health. But even after my body recovered, the weight kept creeping up. By 2020, I felt more out of shape than ever and knew I needed a new approach. I didn\u2019t want to go back to extremes. I wanted something that would actually last. So instead of undereating and overtraining, I focused on simple habits that I could stick with long term. Inside this episode, I break down exactly what worked: \u2022 How I used MyFitnessPal in a practical way without starving, and why hitting protein was a game changer \u2022 Why strength training reshaped my body and mindset more than cardio or HIIT ever did \u2022 The underrated impact of walking 10,000 steps a day \u2022 How reducing alcohol made a bigger difference than I expected \u2022 Why letting go of timelines helped me stay consistent and finally see lasting results Today, I train 3\u20134 times per week, walk daily, and eat in a way that feels intuitive instead of obsessive. I haven\u2019t had to \u201cstart over\u201d since. If you\u2019re a woman over 40, or anyone who wants a realistic and sustainable way to get fit and stay there, this episode will give you a clear path forward.
