Weight loss over 40 female & menopause | eating for hormone balance

[@hrock8081]

I'm trying to get the fittest I've ever been in the midst of awful perimenopause symptoms and this video is so helpful! Glad I found you!

[@shabrinaanthony2033]

I'm so glad I found you. I'm in my 40s and starting for the first time to seriously get in shape and I know when I hit menopause in a few years the game will change and I'll have to adjust what I learned. So I'm glad I found you.

[@pilialohavrba6943]

You always look great but in this video your hair and skin is beautiful! Thank you for the advice and a great thing for me to apply and a reminder too. I haven't been on track on this in which I feel and see in myself.

[@lisawilliams3719]

I think you are such a fab human being...an angel for all us women over 40, 50 and more who are stuck in the cycle of old diets and workout routines that just don't work. I have been bagging it out at the gym for years and in the last 3 years I have not managed to obtain a lean, toned body and it is just frustrating. But watching and taking on board your advice it all makes so much sense and now I am back on track at the gym. All in good time, here we go girls.

[@elzibabmorac3553]

Thanks for your fantastic videos Melissa. I've struggled with my fear of eating fat which I think was due to the mental conditioning of weight loss of the 1990's. I had wanted to get over that but most fitness advice seemed to be from young women that I felt was not geared towards 40+ women. Over the last few months I have been enjoying eating more healthy fats as a result of trusting your advice. I feel strong, lean and toned. Thanks again :)

[@michelleiriarte8947]

Thanks for the advice! Practicing healthy eating is one of my biggest challenges to weight loss. Now that I am consciously eating by monitoring the quantity and quality of the foods I consume, I do feel much more energetic!

I’m 53. 5’6” and 167 pounds. I just watch a video saying intermittent fasting is not good😞 I have doing it for the last three years. I do cardio five days a week for an hour but I don’t see any result. I have learn a lot in two videos from you. I just found you. I’m not good counting calories but I would like to know how many I have to take to loose weight and gain muscle.

[@marcelavazquez9629]

I'm in the same boat, doing intermittent fasting and low carb for 3 years, working out 5 days a week, at the beginning worked wonderful, but a year ago all what I have seen is gaining weight, I'm eating vey low calories as well, sometimes I eat 700 calories, according to Melissa all this things are red flags for my age, I'm 53 too .. at the same time I'm very conscious of carbs, I'm afraid of them, but I know I'm doing something wrong and I'm going to try all Melissa's advises.

[@mariyakarneichik1515]

[@robinb.2646]

Hello Melissa it's always great to see you.

[@tamiramos5873]

When you say "carbs" please just distinguish between veggies and other types of carbs. But alot of carbs can spike your insulin. That's something you don't want.

[@augustinaspinoula1968]

Thank you so much !

[@dabeezkneez8716]

Wow! Thank you. This is invaluable information. I especially love the examples of protein sources. By giving those, you have made a 150g protein goal so achievable. As a new vegan, I had no idea that my favourite vegetable (green beans) is a high protein vegetable . Thank you again.

[@ShelitaRN]

Excellent video pretty lady Melissa, I'm so glad I found your channel! I've found that I'm not taking in enough protein!

[@imaladywith3]

I approve this message

[@NancyAnneMartin]

Absolutely fantastic information, Melissa! I'm really glad you mentioned coconut oil, because I was wondering about it as you were talking. There's such conflicting information about it I absolutely love this stuff, and my gut instinct tells me it's good because it's a natural occurring oil. But there are reports out there that it's high in saturated fat, so then I wonder if I'm making a good choice with it again.

[@christirose6813]

Hi Melissa.. You're so inspiring! I'm 67 and active, however, I'm having an issue with ice cream and bread right now. I retired 2 years ago and feel very bored. I stay active, but lately, I've been craving ice cream and bread..weird right! Suggestions please and thank you! Maryann

[@lolitaowens5970]

What vegetables can you eat if you have thyroid issues, Hashimoto?

[@humboldthoney01]

Hi. I’m confused about the numbers. 153 grams of protein is only 5.39 ounces. That is the amount of protein a woman who weighs 153 lbs should eat in a day? That doesn’t seem right because it’s too low of a number. Please clarify as I see others have this question too.

[@Shorty-lou]

Is anyone on medication for hormones I really do t want to be taking another tablet is eating healthly ok doc says I will get osteoperosis if I don't take them

[@RACHELORI]

Melissa, I would like to supplement my lunch with a protein shake. I cannot digest meat very well so a protein shake is ideal. I am looking to lose 25 lbs & weight lifting. I am lifting 10 lbs now. I used to do 30 lbs many years ago & I would like to get there again. What protein shake do you recommend? If you don't feel comfortable mentioning a brand, are there ingredients that you recommend the most for my goals?

[@asztaloseva2716]

You say we avoid artificial sweeteners, but it is in protein products (whey, plant-based) and erythritol is also an artificial sweetener. Dairy products are not part of the anti-inflammatory diet, like Greek yogurt ... What do you recommend.

[@wagwangal79]

You can buy whey protein without any additives 😎

[@tammybugg9805]

Glad to find your channel. I am 50 and am 5'7" and weigh 115-118lbs. It fluctuates. In order to gain muscle would eating 1 gram per lb of weight help me gain ?

[@candycrushlover2910]

1g of protein in every lb of your goal body weight per day? If I could only have 2 eggs a day for my protein, and I eat that for breakfast, what do I do for lunch and dinner? I'm used to having that and protein for my second meal. I've been intermittent fasting, just because naturally I get up late and so eat around 11am and 3 or 4pm. The advice in this video is great, but I feel like it's unsustainable? Perhaps I'm not understanding the food broken down into meals?

[@christine1962ful]

Do you eat carbs at anytime of the day etc

[@bridgettthomas544]

So 150grams per day?

Great information! A great book I've read on eating for hormone health for men and women is "Your Body in Balance" By Dr. Neal Bernard. He outlines how to eat prorperly for our hormone health and to give us an advantage for disease avoidance and reversal.

You can't please all of the people all of the time! Your videos has good content and gets to the point. I didn't appreciate the importance of tracking my food. I was shocked to learn that I was under consuming. I've been binge watching, learning loads & I'm subscribed. 👌❤️

[@erikabrown6804]

@@ZabinaBuff1983 it was a suggestion because I think she is great. And a tweak or two or a simple reflection... hopefully results in more subs and more notoriety. She certainly has the RESULts to back up her content!

[@jaeshasway]

Wow, You lost me. Many physicians especially those specializing in anti-aging and weight loss (keeping blood sugar balanced is essential) are starting to understand how grains and carbs in general are not healthy longterm for many women. Grains are essentially processed into sugar and should be avoided. You’re not taking into consideration body type, innate metabolism, activity level, and preexisting heath issues. Yes your program is great for women who have probably not had chronic weight issues, blood sugar issues, or women who have always exercised, but the vast majority of women especially over 40 do not fall into those categories. It’s not realistic to make the claims you’re making for all women over 40, or in general to be honest. There are many women thriving over 40, 50, 60 on a low carb, high fat (good fat), moderate protein diet. This is quickly becoming a longterm way of eating for health and longevity. I think if you’re going to be a guru then create a variety of plans that are customized to the individual vs forcing 1 methodology that might set some of them up for failure. Kudos to you though for finding something that works for your body type. You look great.

[@schoolingdiana9086]

Your brain needs carbs and good fats to operate properly. No one is saying to eat highly processed carbs. Rustic breads and ancient grains, beans, lentils, chick peas, etc, are what’s being discussed. Vegetables are carbs, too. And your brain is mostly comprised of fats, plus some water. If you don’t get enough of either, your brain starts to dry out. I got certified in Neurolinguistics last year (2021), and most cognitive processing issues are nutritionally based from a lack of carbs and fats, and secondarily from brain injury, @Jaesha.
