ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What if losing weight after 50 could actually make you weaker?
For years, we’ve been told that weight loss is simple: eat less, move more, and get the number on the scale down. But as we get older, there’s a more important question:
What exactly are you losing?
In this episode of the Functional Longevity Podcast, Chris Borda breaks down the research on calorie restriction, muscle loss, protein, and resistance training—and explains why losing weight and losing body fat are not the same thing, especially after 50.
You’ll learn why calorie restriction can make it harder to maintain muscle as you age, what anabolic resistance means, how resistance training can help protect lean mass during weight loss, and why getting enough protein becomes increasingly important.
Chris also explains why the bathroom scale can’t tell you whether your weight-loss program is actually making you healthier.
Because the goal isn’t simply to become a lighter 60-, 70-, or 80-year-old.
The goal is to become a stronger, healthier, and more capable one.
If you’re over 40 and trying to lose weight, this episode may change the way you think about dieting.
Instead of only asking, “How much weight did I lose?” start asking:
“What did I lose—and what did I preserve?”
Get Fit. Feel Younger. Live Better.
