Thank you.

thank you for the summary karen, really appreciate! you might want to edit #5 to say Avoid eating late at night : ) blessings!

Thank you Karen!

Karen Mellett thanks so much

Kaia Nero Thank you for the summary! This could’ve easily been a five minute video with the content but it was streeeeeeeetched out with the slooooooow annunciations. No wonder I have a big belly... my impatience shoots my cortisol levels up. 🤣

Thank you, I was looking for this! :)

Ginger - congrats. This is amazing. We all find what works for us, right?

@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen why cilantro?

@@afrodite9801 Quercetin in cilantro is supposed to help with adrenal fatigue

Processed sugar is bad for our body. If you stop eating all sugary snacks for one month in a row, you'll lose up to 2kg without any exercise.

It is hard to know what to eat ,every qualified person on this topic say's different thing's.As I was looking at one about 2 months ago,and they said that the food pyrimid was still excellent and she(dietitian) sold this to her client's..yet it say's that grains are reight at the bottome eg..along with leafy veges etc,as in the best food,and one should eat this often.

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.

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.

That is totally my my philosophy Yanya, and that is the subject of my next book. Self care and awareness needs to increase not decrease as we age:-)

Yanya the hardest thing for me was listening to myself saying who cares that ive gained weight ..who do I have to impress at my age.....and then one day I said I CARE...i need to impress myself. Been a week and ive lost 6 lbs just working out and watching what I eat. I do matter to ME.

@@shellslaraine9295 Shells - I love this. That is so true how we tend to give up. Well done for taking the reins and empowering yourself.

Ask about metformin

Do you eat meat?

That is very kind of you! And you are absolutely right to start taking care of yourself now at 40! So many of us leave it until way later. Get a handle on your health and wellness now, and you will be doing yourself a huge favor.

Thumbs down because she looks better than most 20 somethings lol

@@sophieuliano7955 100% Agree!

@@rsublett2416😃 LOL! She does, at that! But I say thumbs up!

This is great. I am glad you've found what works for you. I found that eating a plant-based diet is kinder to my body in the long-term (eliminates inflammation etc), and is also a large part of my journey of expanding awareness in discovering how animal products are produced globally, and the effect of animal production and consumption on the environment. It's a big topic, and I will go into it in more detail in another video. And this is one of the many reasons why I personally don't advocate meat-heavy diets (be it Atkins, Paleo, or Keto).

Keto is most definitely not for everyone. I gained 30 lbs in a short period of time since I turned 40. I’ve always been able to shed unwanted pounds by exercising and eating healthier, but this time it didn’t work. I even tried keto for 3 months and I had ALL side effects (keto rash was the worse) and only lost 2 lbs. I started eating more plant based, low fat and lean meats and finally started seeing results, however small or slow they are. I also think Keto is not sustainable because it’s soooo restrictive. I truly believe though everyone should stick to what works for them. If Keto works for you than good for you, but I’m absolutely opposed to this constant push by so many as THE only diet that works. It is not!

truthseeker me too. Plant based made me way worse. I’m one of the ones who ate soy for peri menopause health and ended up destroying my thyroid. My joints began to hurt, I ended up having half my thyroid surgically removed and inflammation markers soared. I’ve never been a sugar fan. My belly fat soared. Once I quit all legumes, all wheat, gluten & went on a low carb diet emphasizing meats, natural meat fats and loads of veggies I started to heal. Whenever I eat carbs in whole grains my tummy pops out. If I enjoy some beans or peanut butter I get joint pain again. Some of us are very very sensitive to the lectins & phytates in legumes & grains. Every other thing in the video I agree with. Just pointing out that for some of us, the plant based diet is a killer. And for some of us, soy is a thyroid killer. My endocrinologist said he is seeing a tidal wave of women who use soy to help menopause and end up killing their thyroid.

@@kamloopscruiser874 Oh for sure! Glad you found your way out. All of us have to find what works for our health. Grains are my enemy. My body craves meat and fat. I love Keto!!

Yayyyy - it really is the way to go - particularly for long term health.

Love meat protein omnivore forever

and what foods did you cut out?

Omg! This is me exactly... I weighed 120 lbs forever, Im almost 51 and in the last few months have gained 20 lbs and i eat very well... so there is no change I have had in my eating and just keep gaining weight. I exercise and still no loss. Im going to need to make some serious dietary changes NOW. Grrrr

@@deannajohnson183 Same here. I exercise on my stepper, lift weights (at my house) don’t eat a lot. Eggs, veggies, tofu sometimes grass fed beef. I cut down bread to about one day a week. I’ve gained fifteen pounds around my belly, upper arms and back this past two years and it refuses to budge. I’m on hormone replacement therapy. My new female doctor is having me go in for blood work here next week. I think it’s age coupled with genetics that I’m struggling with. My great aunts and great grandmother got very big as they aged. It definitely sucks!

Thanks for your comment Elizabeth. Go get your levels checked and bought back into balance, and you will start to feel better, and take steps to look the way you want to.

You are so right Ashley, and people I know on Keto look puffy. It's not sustainable, and it doesn't prevent against disease. Glad you see that.

Yes - zero sugar is a very very good thing. And how wonderful Suzanne - keep sharing your tips!

Suzanne Blaylock I am 61 with a flat belly as well. How? Whole Food Plant Based - SOS free, yes no sugar no oil and no salt. No alcohol, no sodas, no smoking, no drugs or medicine. You could do it and be even illnesses free as well! ❗️🌱💚☮️🇳🇱

Thank you

SixtyPlusVegan what is SOS free?? And, how do you have the willpower to stay off sugar?? I can’t imagine never having sugar again, but I really wanna get into top shape. I’m a 43 yr old mom of 2. I really need to lose 25 pounds. Thanks for any tips. You guys are all amazing g people 😍

Yes 🖐🖐🖐

You are so welcome, and I do agree - we don't love to talk about it, but we should because we're all going to go through it, right? And it doesn't have to be as bad as we're led to believe it will be.

@@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.

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. And maybe you can do a little bit of sweet. Stay tuned, I'm going to get into the the specifics of eating a little more.

It can be done. I know it's hard. I turn 52 this month and I have always worked really hard. Right now, I have a very intense job that requires a lot of mental resources AND I have a side consulting job. I can work up to 12 or more hours a day. You would think I would not have energy to workout & eat right - and you would not be wrong - but I do it anyway, and magically I have energy as a result. It literally keeps me sane. I get up early and walk w/ an Audible book. After my first job, I take an hour and workout in my very low budget home gym (Maxiclimber, resistance bands, free weights). After that, my 2nd job for a few hours. If I feel healthy and strong, I feel better equipped to handle whatever BS is coming my way. It's very hard to get started. I won't lie. I fall off the wagon at times and there are times I really can't do it. I just recommit and get back up. Here's what really kicks it home for me. My mom was put in a hospital at age 73 last month because she was caring for her husband and NOT herself. She said she had no time. I don't want to disagree, because I'm not in her shoes, but it was a lesson to me to always prioritize self-care, or you eventually you won't be able to care for anyone else. Forgive my longwinded answer you did not ask for! Your comment sort of hit home. Best wishes to you.

One question: If we really feel we have to eat something before bed, what about a carrot or a few nuts and square of very dark chocolate? Are there any things you would recommend if you feel like you just have to have something to be able to sleep?

Sasha Gamino Why would you have to eat something to sleep? That’s in your head or an issue that pertains to blood sugar & once you break that bad habit you will find it was unnecessary.

sweetpeace5 I wasn't asking you and the fact that you're going around telling people that things are all "in their head" says something about you my dear.

I agree

Thank you Leah - you are so so kind to say this!!

Has her advice worked for you?

Geri Romero absolutely!

Exactly, I feel the same way!

S3

Feel the same smh

57 years young Karen - appreciate everything that is gorgeous about yourself today!

What difference have the pellets made for you? Im on cream and don't see much of a difference either:(

Donna - you are so right. Win for us, win for avoiding animal suffering, and win for the environment.

Fascinating! Plus who wants to eat after just brushing your teeth?

😄 Loved that tip, It can come only from a sweet toother.

I am so happy you subscribed!! Thank you for becoming part of my community. You are valued. LMK how the dietician goes!

That's WONDERFUL - WELL DONE!

Yes - I agree to LISTEN TO YOUR BODY, and when you get into the depths of what I teach, I customize as there isn't a one-size-fits all. The food that I promote (the way of eating) is all geared toward disease prevention. I look to the evidence based science on this. And have spent years studying the populations that boast the the greatest HEALTHspan and longevity on Earth - most of these populations eat a 95 - 98% plant-based diet. I have a video coming up all about what I eat to stay healthy, so stay tuned on that. Thanks for your comment.

Don't work on low thyroid patients any how

Paleo is a good program to follow and true millions have & do benefit from it. Same success with Keto experienced by many others. And South Beach and Mediterranean and etc. etc. [whew, just tooooo many, lol 😄]. Yet, the most crucial factor that is FINALLY...FINALLY being paid any attention is that GENETICS, yes indeed, ones ancestral and direct genetic structure plays the most critical and most pivotal and sometimes the most precarious role as to which health program offers them the best results. And that is THE KEY FACTOR in determining what works best for ones body. Speaking of that, Üforia Science has developed a such a line of customized product(s) named, ÜTRITION, that is based solely on ones genetic DNA that enables superb health according to the nutrients your specific DNA shows that your body needs to perform at its optimum best! Check it out on Facebook under its product name. And prepare to be amazed! 🤗💚 GOD IS IN CONTROL & CHRIST LIVES!

What a lovely thing to say. And yes you can TOTALLY still look good after 60!!!

Thanks for breaking it down!

That's 100% right! 🤗 💚

Kimbee Ann Watch Dr Berg videos; life changing

Levothyroxine is synthetic it doesn't work, try armour its natural and the body does better on it!

It's not too late. Honestly, please change your mindset. If you've had four kids and sagging skin, you're the same as so many. My skin would be sagging had I had the honor of having 4 kids. I was just granted one (I had a bunch of miscarriages). But don't give up. You may not ever get a flat tummy, but you can tighten things up. And you can switch to a way of eating that will make you feel 100% better.

Now is the EXACT time to get started on all this Kara. So much easier to beat it before it gets started.

Liposuction. Look into it. You won't be disappointed. Reshape the body and your figure will be amazing. Good Luck.

@@batbarasobczak351 That is great to hear your experience. And thanks for sharing that. It's a huge kick start and confidence-booster for so many women that I actually want to interview a plastic surgeon about it. So many myths - some say it's the most painful thing imaginable, and others day it's dangerous. Time to open a discussion about this topic because I do understand that many just need that extra helping hand (so to speak!)

And you absolutely can and should feel beautiful again.

Same here I jog every other day and my stomach looks terrible!

Look into inflammation foods. They bloat the stomach. Keto works for me. Look into fasting. I looked pregnant too. So tired of people asking me. When I was bloated and fat. Keto diet with fasting change that. Just look into it. Be kind and patient with the process. I started eliminating carbs then sugar. I allow myself sugar free deserts weekends. Like I said its a process.

jog less and weight train.

STOP Jogging ( fitness trainer here🙂)........... start lifting weights, you will be SHOCKED how fast your body responds....& No you will not get muscles like a man....Almost impossible unless you PURPOSELY have a trainer & STERIODS.... ( not going to happen)........( start off light, learn proper form...don’t rush it ....u will end up injured ( set backs)..... I’m almost 60 & have same tummy as Sophie, & I have cheat days/ meals....life is too short, lol

@@rhondapelletier2141 thanks, good advice... i,ll add weight lifting to my routine.

That's exactly what's in the pipeline

@@sweetpeace5 So AGREE - lots of great workouts.

Awwwwww - that makes me SO SO happy:-)

IF is the only way I lost the 1 stone in weight I’d gained since turning 50! Tried various diets but nothing worked, even though I hardly ate carbs too. I recommend IF - and OMAD/healthy natural food/no sugar - It really does work.

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

Sophie Uliano thanks for always being so understanding 🙂 love you 😘

I am so happy that you feel better and hopeful. If you ever get stuck, feel free to book a breakthrough call with me (link is in description).

Wonderful!

Glad it was helpful!

You are hilarious. Yep, get your hormones and cortisol checked, and go fully plant-based. You'll feel so very different. Also consider asking for a more natural Thyroid med, such as Nature Thyroid - just a thought to run by your doctor.

@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen Thanks Sophie, well i'll run that by which ever doctor I get to see, only bit of running I can cope with! :)

You are so welcome, and thanks for watching.

Amanda - well done for losing those inches - awesome. You found what works for you and that is fantastic. I think it's great to customize anyone's healthy approach to find what works for your body and your lifestyle.

Wow! Hi Marla, truly sorry to hear that. Well, strongly suggest you see a Integrated Functional Doctor and a Naturopathic Doctor ASAP! High-estrogen is QUITE problematic and eventually may lead to a host of illnesses with bad side effects, pls believe me! You definitely need 'Hormone Therapy.

My sister is also a breast cancer survivor, and I'm glad to see you also survived. She had both breasts removed and replaced with saline implants. Years later I learned that she could have been cured of her cancer without the removal of her breasts. A guy in Oklahoma named Joe Tippens cured stage four lung cancer with fenbendazole dog worm medicine. The story was all over the local news a few years ago. It was an accidental discovery where they were using mice for cancer research, and gave them fenbendazole to control the parasites. Soon they started noticing that the mice given fenbendazole were being cured of their cancer. Anyway, Good luck and God Bless.

Carol - you are awesome. Let me know how the intermittent fasting works for you. And good for you girl with the plants!!!

I know - it is VERY tough for anyone who has a meat and potatoes family. That's why the plant-based challenge works well because we all support each other.

You've come to the right place Cynthia - I teach all of the above. And actually (head's up) my next book is all about how to move through menopause differently - with joy and excitement. Stay tuned.
