Struggling with belly fat after 40—even while eating clean and working out? The problem might be your sequence, not your willpower. In this video, we break down a simple timing switch that lines up with over-40 hormones (insulin, cortisol) and finally gets your body to mobilize fat and then actually burn it. You’ll learn how to defuse the dawn-effect insulin spike without giving up coffee, the smartest way to pair strength and cardio so calories don’t boomerang back into storage, and a repeatable day plan (meals, movement, sleep) you can start today. No gimmicks—just evidence-informed tweaks for real-world schedules. What’s inside: • Over-40 metabolism 101 (insulin resistance, cortisol, visceral fat) • The 2-step training order that changes everything • Protein-first breakfast ideas that steady appetite • Tiny post-meal habits that flatten glucose curves • A realistic 24-hour routine (work days + family life) If this helped, like the video, comment your toughest time of day for cravings, and subscribe for weekly, practical fat-loss guides.
