If you want to know how to lose menopause belly fat, the answer probably is not more fasting. After 50, skipping meals and training fasted can be the very thing keeping the belly fat on.

In this Menopause Myths episode of the Midlife Method with Cam Allen, we bust one of the biggest myths about belly fat in menopause: that fasting harder melts it. You will learn why under-fueling reads as a famine to a midlife body, how that raises your stress hormone and stores fat around your middle, and the two simple changes that flip you out of storage mode and back into build mode. One of them starts tonight, and it costs nothing.

What you will learn:
- Why the fasting rules that worked at 40 stop working at 50
- How under-fueling and fasted workouts can raise cortisol and store belly fat in menopause
- The only fast your body was actually built for (hint: it happens while you sleep)
- How to surround your workouts with nutrition so you build muscle instead of burning it
- A simple daylight-eating day you can start today, sunrise to kitchen-close
