Gaining belly fat after 40 can feel like an uphill battle—but Elsje proves it doesn’t have to be.
At 44 inches around the waist, struggling with low energy and nightly wine habits, Elsje joined my 8-Week Transformation Challenge. By the end? She’d dropped 7 inches, 20 pounds, and gained visible abs, strength, and confidence.
“I feel amazing. I’m hiking with my kids, paddle boarding, and wearing a bikini I haven’t worn in years.”
Why Belly Fat Gets Worse with Age
After 40, hormonal shifts, stress, poor sleep, sugar, alcohol, and muscle loss all make belly fat harder to lose. Elsje had several of these working against her—especially the nightly wine and emotional eating.
What Didn’t Work (and What She Avoided)
❌ Tons of cardio ❌ Fasting or low-calorie diets ❌ Ab workouts ❌ Extreme restrictions
These common methods often make things worse by increasing fat storage and muscle loss.
What Did Work
✅ A high-protein, whole food meal plan ✅ Cutting sugar, alcohol, and overeating ✅ Lifting weights 4x a week (at home!) ✅ Walking in a weighted vest ✅ Short HIIT sessions 1–2x per week
Elsje didn’t need a gym or fancy equipment—just a plan and commitment.
Your body isn’t broken—and it’s not too late.
