I have lost 35 pounds going grain free, very little sugar, lots of fats like that found in quality meats, bone broth, avocado, coconut oil and olive oil, and lots of greens, cilantro and vegies. No sodas, but lots of quality fruit juices and fresh fruit. No calorie counting. I am slow walking 1 to 3 miles a day. I have not felt this healthy in years and all bloodwork and bp is normal now.

[@996917]

It’s been my experience that women that are low in hormones need fat to help them make their hormones. I was a low fat vegan for two years and I did not get ride of my menopause belly. I worked out and again ate a whole food plant based diet. It just didn’t work for me. Every body is different and you just have to see what works. I believe with all the beans, legumes, whole grains and fruit I was eating, I was spiking insulin too much. Menopausal women are much more insulin sensitive so avoiding foods that spike insulin seem to be better for me.

[@BASSISTHENEWBLACK]

Interesting and useful comment. What is your diet like now? I agree with more fat. I love legumes and beans but they bloat me so bad so I've decided to let go.

[@audrad2357]

I agree. I was whole foods plant based for 2.5 years and I lost strength, muscle mass, body composition changed and i felt bloated often. I also had terrible pms during that time and realized it was actually all of the tofu/soy I was eating. I also started developing rashes when eating soy after a while. Took out the soy, added pasture raised poultry and eggs, wild caught salmon and tuna as well as organic yogurt and have leaned out, blood work great and made my way back to getting those strength gains. My diet is still plant centered but the small amount of animal protein has really made a difference.

[@modisi]

Wow thank you for these tips. Had no idea there was such a thing as menopausal belly fat! I was wondering why I was having such a time getting the fat off my belly when I’ve never had such an issue before.

[@lovelyletter7460]

Wow! You look amazing and truly an inspiration! I’m 48 and going through perimenopause (which has ramped up significantly in the last 2 years or so). I had RAI nearly 20 years ago and been on synthroid ever since. Since peri started, I’ve had to slowly lower my dosage as my need has diminished due to my lowering estrogen levels. I hope to look as good as you by the time I’m 55!

[@michellew8118]

I’m 63 and have a flat tummy. I have never taken hormones/pills, just a really healthy diet and moderate exercise. Most people eat far more than their body needs and don’t exercise. Cut out all the sweet surgery crap, give up dairy. You’ll find you lose weight.

Sophie this was brilliant, I am fifty eight , and slim size ten and very active but have still noticed recently a middle aged spread! My son is vegan so I have been following many American doctors and watched the well know documentaries re a whole food plant based diet and wholeheartedly agree with you . Having lost my husband to cancer six years ago I feel very determined to try and stay healthy . Giving up meat and dairy this year has been fairly easy but I still use olive oil and have a sweet tooth and cheating when tired , , mid afternoon at work most days , but you look so healthy and so you have inspired me to try harder. Thank you , will follow your videos with great interest.

What a joy to read your comment. Because you are trying! I am so very sorry to hear about your terrible loss. And I so admire your determination and drive. A little olive oil is healthy.

[@d.colbert6869]

@@sophieuliano7955 Absolutely 100% Agree! Subjects once considered taboo strongly need to be discussed amongst us females from young adult-through-elder years. We should all make a committed and determined effort to break the silence that pervades such subjects and only perpetuates more stoic ignorance amongst our youth. Plus, even some who are now middle-aged and elder females today!!! The ridiculous stigmatisms of yesteryear must and should be outright vanquished from our mindsets. For we can only begin to resolve women's health issues if we ensure that ALL FEMALES receive the best, most accurate health information and healthcare available from here onward regardless of where they live or what income bracket they're categorized in; and nor the lack of healthcare facilities existent nearby them. We mustn't falter in that commitment whatsoever. That is my deepest belief.

[@staceyj763]

This makes a lot of sense. I'm finding training much harder this year (46) and results are much slower. I'm already plant-based and use IF, so it really is just the resistance training. The thought of doing double what I'm doing though...I'll be in bed by 8pm lol

Awesome Video, Sophie!!! My own research in past years coincides with all that you stated! It's an absolutely superb decision for one to try to consume a Whole-Foods Plant-Based routine that is Low in Oils & Sugar. Per a book on all cooking oils that my elderly Mother purchased years ago we shouldn't consume nearly the amount of oil that's in our diets today! Plus the book went so far as to state that we should cease consumption of most oils outside of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil [low-heat sauteing best only; and heart healthy - low in both monounsaturated & polyunsaturated fats] and Organic Avocado Oil [just for high heat cooking] and Organic Coconut Oil [cooking; Dr. Oz show stated it also aides Fat Loss once consumed regularly].

Hi! I enjoyed your video! Thank you. Question, if you get your blood tests and your hormones, cortisol and thyroid are all out of wack, is there any safe treatment?

[@heatherjane910]

I’m 52 and postmenopausal. I’m on HRT, full body resistance train regularly, walk my dog every day, avoid sugar and sugar substitutes and processed foods, I don’t drink any alcohol, I’m mindful of portions, and I meditate daily. However, my belly will not budge. I never had to think about my weight until I was in my late 40s. I am under a tremendous amount of stress thanks to an unavoidable family situation so I know my cortisol is through the roof and my sleep quality is terrible (I’m getting professional therapy help, but it’s not helping my belly). However, I don’t know what else to do to control it. Additionally, I’m only 5 feet tall, so every extra pound shows. It’s very depressing.

Just began having hot flashes/sleeping issues/belly fat this year at 58...literally overnight! Had testing and still have hormones but they are low/normal. Cortisol was low, which wasn’t surprising due to lots of stress the last few years. Going on supplements for adrenals and will forgo hormones for now. Will definitely implement these principles which just means tightening up a bit. Already don’t eat meat/consume soda. Alcohol will be a once a month treat.

Very helpful. Thank you! I wish where I live had functional doctors. But I still have those 4 other tips.

I just have to tell you, you're so beautiful! You are a shining light of an example and just found your channel and I'm SO glad I did! At age 55 I went to the hospital for emergency surgery on my spine, and was told I have a form of post menopausal breast cancer. My back story is basically, I've exercised my whole life almost everyday. I intermittent fast most days, up to about 14 hours. I only drink MAYBE twice a month, half of a cocktail, glass of wine or beer. I'm not a great eater but I'm definitely not a horrible eater- I mean with regard to what I actually eat. I think I have another compression fracture and I'm afraid to go back to the doctor, bc I'd begged my pcp to refer me to an obgyn to TEST MY HORMONES but he never did! I asked him many times! And then I end up in hospital with breast cancer!

Good girl - and don't forget a bit of resistance weight-training. Add that to your daily routine.
