If you’re over 50 and still struggling to lose fat, build muscle, or feel good in your own skin… you’re not alone - and you’re definitely not broken.

 

But you might be making one of the five most common nutrition mistakes Coach Kevin sees every single day in his coaching practice.

 

👉 Spoiler alert: He made every one of them himself.

 

In this episode, Coach Kevin dives into:

·      Why eating less isn’t always the answer - and can actually backfire

·      The truth about protein intake and how much you really need after 50

·      How the weekend could be wrecking your progress (even if you’re “good” Monday through Friday)

·      Why fad diets like keto, intermittent fasting, and “fat-burning smoothies” are setting you up to fail

·      The surprisingly common mistake of undereating - yes, even if you’re overweight

·      BONUS: How ignoring sleep and stress can undo all your best nutrition efforts

 

This episode is your no-BS blueprint to ditching diet frustration and finally seeing results - without falling for gimmicks or starving yourself into submission.
