Definitely really annoying how the belly is the first to come and last thing to go. Thank you sharing this very helpful information. Fortunately, I’ve been including fasting with success. Though I lift heavy weights on eating days and not fasting days. This is a transformation changer for me.💯❤️

I took food prep to a whole new level. It's my busy season and I started eating fast food. Day three of fast food I decided to take off and cook. I've worked to hard to sabotage myself. I cooked all day. I now have three meals a day for 7 days frozen and in to go containers. Then I have a months worth of veggies and a month of meat cooked and frozen individual servings. Food prep for next week will just be pulling 14 packs of meat and 28 veggies. 7 breakfast items. It was a lot of work but it won't be anymore. It will be easy to cook a few things up and throw in freezer. Now I have healthy, high protein food no matter how busy or tired I am. It has helped me tremendously!

I have been struggling literally for years with stubborn belly fat. At 57 working out 3x a week with weights. Walking daily. Healthy eating of 1500 cals most days, I’m thinking I’m not getting enough calories in? It can’t be that I’m getting too many. I don’t starve myself, I just can’t take in that many calories. I just don’t have a big appetite. Yet I still have this unmovable belly! I’m just at a loss. I’m a fit person. After years of working out, I can see I’m toning in other areas. My belly just weighs me down literally. It’s so uncomfortable. Thinking of trying Berberine.

I hope more people start clicking like and subscribing because what you are teaching is GOLD. As a female aged 42, cutting calories worked... until it didn't (was below 1200 per day... was counting on MyFitnessPal... high healthy fat, low carb, low protein) My body adjusted.. I started gaining fat again and couldnt cut any lower... had no energy. I started reading and researching... adding weights in... now am trying to teach my body to handle an increase calories and carbs again.

@hachidori9
@hachidori9 10 ай бұрын
@@mbg5098 gosh that's a good question... because I'd been on that type of diet about 8 months consistently at that point I figured out what was happening... I think I got atrached to the fact it had worked previously, and really just didn't feel like making anymore health adjustments at that point... I was exhausted, and scared that if I made any change at all, all of the weight I'd lost would come flooding back. It wasn't until I cried... complained, beat myself up, and then got angry and started reading and researching more that I came across videos like this, ... and also Sal Di Stefano... various sources... learned about how great the body actually is at adjusting to low calories (so starving myself further was just hurting me, amd wasn't gonna help me cut fat anymore... I was just messing my metabolism up more after already having messed it up some), learned about things like carb and calorie confusion to keep the body in fat burning mode, and weight training.. which I hadnt done since I was a teen .. so was a bit daunting at first. It's all coming along a little slower than the initial efforts of cutting calories, but seems to be effectively reversing the issues I was running into. To answer your initial question... if I had to guess... since I was in denial I was having an issue at first... maybe 6 to 8 months. To help me adjust, I did purchase the myFitnessPal plan that allows me to set different daily carb and macros goals, so I could track my calorie confusion and macros goals.... I felt I needed that crutch though. I know that might not be recommended by the author of these videos.. I'm not sure... but I am doing that in addition to many of the things she is teaching... I have stopped gaining fat so far, and am really looking good gaining muscle. I don't weigh myself as often... I've found it to be misleading while I'm trying to gain muscle. Hope this helps! Sorry I wrote a book lol

20 lb??????????!!!!!! 20 lb just for turning a certain age? It makes me so angry so unfair 😭 it shouldn't be this way nobody should gain weight just because they hit a certain age!!! But it sounds like there is hope A lot of us has spent our whole lives trying to get in shape ,, gaining 20 pounds just because of menopause which is something we don't choose is not fair ! I will continue to learn everything I can about menopause as scary terrifying and depressing as it sounds
@womanofacertainage5892
@womanofacertainage5892 10 ай бұрын
It's not the age, it's the decrease in estrogen and other hormones. I use an over the counter cream to replace some of the estrogen (a bio-identical) and it's gotten rid of hot flashes for me. Another part of the weight gain is due to loss of muscle mass -- so the more you life weights or do body weight exercise like push ups and squats, the more muscle you can preserve -- and that will keep your metabolism running better. It's not just the age, it's a combo of things that happen as we age.

@@womanofacertainage5892 but it is about the age because these horrible things don't happen in the 20s and 30s they happened 40 and above , for me the weight gain is the worst unfair the muscle loss is also ridiculous too so what just because we're older now all of a sudden we don't need muscle anymore? It literally sounds like menopause is the body turning against itself 😭 I don't mean to sound whiny melodramatic crybaby but it is so upsetting and nobody warned us about this when we were in school learning about puberty why didn't they talk about menopause?? I remember when I first learned about puberty I was terrified of it, looking back puberty is a brisk walk in the park compared to menopause 😓 I do live a healthy lifestyle I exercise I'm always going to do everything I can but it's like I wish we didn't have to work this hard in the first place to protect our own bodies from its own self 😞

One bodybuilder says to fuel the body, concentrating on protein while another says the only way to get ripped to be in calorie deficit. Both bodybuilders have zero fat therefore are great sources. How do we know who to believe when so many have conflicting information?

Yes that's correct. How many of people like these are based on scientific evidence. Carbs are not necessary for weight loss. It does not get converted to protein. Protein comes from amino acids. She has a good physique from genetics
@latifx3944
@latifx3944 10 ай бұрын
Because body builders do both. Body builders go through a three phase cycle. Typically referred to as "bulking" Cycle one is a surplus of calories to grow as much muscle as they can, even if that means fat is gained. Cycle 2 is cutting calories. This allows them to lose any fat they have inadvertently gained. Their metabolism is high and with the extra muscle gained can lose weight a lot easier. Cycle 3 is considered a show body. This is typically where you will see their hard work on display. If they do body competitions they will even forego fluids and eating, fake tan exc to enhance. Both bodybuilders are correct, but unless you're familiar with the process it can seem counter to information. Hope this helps.

My hard and fast rule is NO food after an early dinner…5 pm or so. I’m very near my goal weight, after having lost 40 pounds. I’m strength training regularly and feeling like FINALLY, after many years of low fat diets, I will be able to keep the weight off, as I am very satiated by meals of protein, fats and non starchy vegetables.

Melissa -- I find when I get enough protein, then my calories are too high -- I need to lose about 20 pounds so that won't get me where I need to go. Maybe I have the wrong attitude but I also need to like the food I eat. I know myself. I love good food (good = healthy, fresh, delicious) and I don't care a lot for protein powders, protein bars, etc. I'm also so so tired of counting calories and entering everything I eat into a calculator!! I know, I know -- I need to do that. But I'm so TIRED of that. I've been entering my food into trackers for 10+ years for all the good it's done me. I've been on a 1500 a cals a day eating for years on and off and after menopause, 1500 cals does NOT result in ANY weight loss for me. It truly does not. Any advice or thoughts?

Instead of losing weight I gained weight in muscle mass I'm a stone heavier than I was, as I was stuck in a loop hardly eating anything and putting weight on with every blip, my BMI is now 23 was 21 (I still wanted to lose weight as looked fat, but now I realise I just lacked muscle tone) it's changed my body composition but my clothes still fit, I can eat more without putting on fat and I follow the same principles as Melissa, protein first and whole foods, I also follow the glucose goddess hacks to stop blood sugar spikes, I'm just not weighing and tracking food, I'll never look as toned without doing this I know but overall it suits me better, focus on building muscle to change your body composition to more muscle that will burn more calories and this will burn the fat, I spent years dieting and not knowing all this and I wish someone had told me iny 20's what I know now that starving and yo yo dieting was useless and metabolism destroying!

You can increase your exercise and decrease your carbs. I don’t eat protein bars either, but I do maintain my weight. Aim for 10 k steps a day, and check your thyroid and your hormones, and don’t eat bread, etc as it doesn’t do anything to nourish your body, cut out sugar and decrease your serving size generally and inguarantee weight loss. 😊

Walk and try to get 10000 steps everyday.Keep your calorie counting focusing on getting enough protein. I’ve tried everything including strength training with a caloric deficit. I was hungry as I don’t know what after strength training, so it was hard to stay full . I didn’t like it. I now started walking “Everyday”. For an hour. Calorie counting and getting 8 hours of sleep. I lost 5 pounds in a month. I am not hungry after my walk. My plan is to get down to 140 pounds walking and do a caloric deficit. And then start lifting. Because from my experience. Lifting makes me bulky and I don’t like the BBL look I get. I am now 150.

Have you gone on HRT to keep the weight/fat off?

HRT helps with menopause symptoms, not really mainly on losing weight. You may check the video I made here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3iqlZ1oerZ1jqssi=WDan3ZT4vT5e-7xJ

Not helpful info at all for most women. It's very, very difficult to get 160 gr of protein in a day. That's 4 large chicken breasts. No way that's happening. I know of no woman who is even capable of eating that much in one day. Maybe if you are a tri-athlete or a body builder, but not the average woman. In fact, eating that much protein would make me feel sick. A typical day for me re. protein is: 2 eggs, 3 oz of tuna, 1 - 4 oz chicken breast, some cheese, yogurt, beans and nuts. That gets me to 100 gr on a good day.

Not all proteins are from meats. There are plant-based that are loaded with protein.

I have a hard time getting enough protein in. I currently weigh 280 lbs. I have about 50-75 g carbs, and 40-60 g protein. I generally have about 1200-1500 calories. How do I incorporate more protein in my diet?
@gwendolynbrown1355
@gwendolynbrown1355 10 ай бұрын
I do plain Greek yogurt which is about 18 grams of protein (3/4-1 cup) i add a 1/2 scoop of pea protein ( about 10 grams of protein) which gets me to about 28 grams of protein. I add a little chia seeds, walnuts and berries which probably puts me at 30 grams in one setting as breakfast or snack. Hope this helps. Check out Melissa's nutrition guide. Link in description. It's free. This will help give you ideas also.

@gwendolynbrown1355 thank you for the recommendation. I generally have Greek yogurt for breakfast but haven’t tried adding extra protein powder in. I will definitely try this. I need to look at the suggestions. Thanks again!

Mel, youve been such a great help in helping me to understand the mechanism of weight loss,fat vs muscle together with the appropriate exercise at the after menopause stage of life. My dear,it has been life changing,after all my efforts, I only got soft if not flabby,but now Im starting to see the effect since Ive stopped doing cardio and moved to more strenght training as well as increasing my protein intake. Your strategy is just great. Thanks a mil, and keep up your very instructive and helpful sharing.❤
