One big reason women 40+ struggle to lose weight and no one explains it.
Cortisol is naturally highest in the morning.
When you skip breakfast or only have coffee, your body stays in stress mode longer.
Stress tells your body to hold weight, not release it.
This isn’t about eating a big breakfast.
It’s about sending your body a safety signal.
Simple options:
• Protein + coffee
• Eggs and toast
• Greek yogurt + fruit
• A quick protein shake
