What's Causing Your Belly Fat After 50 and How To Lose It 

"Good" protein is ok. Especially if u are weight training. Curbs appetite. I limit Trans fat & bad fats. Some fat is healthy of course

I agree, I am really learning so much and finally feel like someone understands. Thanks Pam

This was great, I've been looking for "losing belly fat at 40" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fanlevi Immaculate Eradicator - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got great results with it.

could you tell me what is in your smoothie detox, please. i have had similar experiences as you. thank you

You need only 50 grams of protein a day. Better to watch how many carbs you`re eating - and cut out sugar!

Yeah, watch what you put in your smoothies…lots of fruits are high in carbs…if you use a lot of high carb fruits like bananas, apples, oranges …you are taking in too many carbs and will be short changing your weight loss efforts. Count carbs! It will also reduce your cravings! Also watch Dr. Berg here on RU-vid tube…Verza helpful! 8:34

Our bodies do change when we're over 50 for sure, but all is not lost. You can get your body back.😄

By the way, I'm over weight

Maranda Moruzzi I also starting getting the waist roll about 60. I exercise and am thin but it still came! I don’t know too man/y women our age who don’t have it; even the fit ones! Probably hormone related??

I agree

maybe you should get a personal trainer!

Dr. Berg

+joel Zu Sounds like you've identified the problems! All high sugar foods. Small change to make to help you see results!

You mean Jeees its short for Jesus. not Geese lol.

Or geez, short for gee whiz. Yes I fall into the short attention span category, it concerns me because afraid of dementia or alzheimers.

@@patricianelson8 that’s what I meant, geez. I think a short attention span does not indicate Alzheimer’s; we are just so inundated with information these days

mine told me at age 53 when I told her I was getting belly fat with no change to diet or my exercise, running , biking etc to have plastic surgery! Unreal!

effects men too! Kev. Thanks for the comment.

maple syrup and good quality honey still spike insulin (which is the fat storing hormone) You would be better off with other natural sweeteners such as stevia, erythritol, monk fruit, etc.

Great question!! I was wondering the same thing!

Every nurse who works nights wonders this. I have found that having a good meal before I leave for work and then only having a small meal during the night helps. Reduce carbs with your small meal. In the am. I eat a small meal again before I sleep (toast, boiled egg, oatmeal). The idea of not eating and then going to bed doesn't work when you work night shift. Eat when you get home and wait one hour. Yes, it is so difficult when all meal plans, diets etc. are geared towards the 9 to 5 crowd. Your body should be in sleep mode when we are in fact awake and working nights. Don't tax your digestive system on night shift. Better yet, ask your skinny night shift co-workers what tey eat. Good luck!!!

Then you'll always be fat.

Everyone wants results but nobody wants to make the changes lol

When are you exercising and what type are you doing? If I might ask.

Please reply to this lady.

stop running around ! the most important is that you SLEEP well, if you not sleep well your hormons will be disordered aswell as your insuline.,reduce your stresslevels the way you like best! take good care off yourself. treat yourself on a good bodylotion eat several times a day little bits fruits or carrots etc take a walk about a half hour evert evening ,learn to enjoy life again

Denise Ray you may want to have your doctor test your thyroid. That will cause weight gain. You should get a complete physical, including blood work, anyway.

when you do muscle you gain weight, if you means you gain fat it's a problem with how you eat, sleep, also 4/5 times at gym it's maybe too much for you, don't forget to stretch. Have a nice day

They can be very helpful as they are adaptogens. It's unique to each individual - they don't work the same for everyone. Some are more sensitive and have to be careful of timing and interaction with anything else you may be taking.

Well, that goes without saying.

Angela Tillman more exercise? B12 deficiency. Your diet could be lacking in vitamins x

+Laura August We mostly crave sugar only if we're eating it and or a sugar substitute still causing the desire for sweet. Increase you protein and increase your fiber at every meal. Don't eat sugar- or foods that metabolize as sugar alone. e.g a fruit...have a bit of nut butter with it, or include in a high protein smoothie. Most of my clients lose cravings within days of increasing healthy fats at every meal, increasing protein (particularly at breakfast) and increasing the amount of veggies they eat. It takes a short time. I can't answer your personal daily diet... without testing you- you have to go through an elimination few days or up to weeks and then reintroduce foods that are your biggest possible triggers. Something you like even can be keeping you weight loss resistant. More information on that www.voiceforfitness.com/after50online

Make friends with steak and salad for dinner. Not too hard to do. Omlettes, baked chicken, green bean cassorole, cottage cheese with tomatos, greek yogert with green onions and cucumbers, bacon and eggs, pot roast and carrots, beef stroganoff with mushrooms, (no egg noodles) smoked salmon with cream cheese, shrimp cocktail, shish kabob, cheeseburger with all the trimmings (remove the bun). Chicken or shrimp alfredo, (no pasta, just the meat and cheese,,use fresh spinage instead of pasta?). Use your imagination. Limit your fruit consumption to 2 a day. Treat bread, pasta, rice, potatos as you would a dessert, eat AFTER you have your tummy full of protein and veggies, and in small amounts. Got a real madness for sweets? Sugarfree chocolate pudding with almonds or walnuts (preferably made with unsweetend coconut milk, or plain cows milk) make your own whipped topping with heavy cream, vanilla and splenda, or sugarfree jello is good..Natural peanut butter with an apple. Coffee with sweet and low, real cream, (or unsweetened coconut milk) and a shot of vanilla. This is what kept me the same size 3 for over 40 years. Avoid sugar and corn syrup as if it were poison. Also, most importantly, anyone who tells you artificial sweetners will make you gain weight does not know wtf they're talking about!! Ive used sweet and low and splenda daily (and the occasional diet soda) for decades now, and am still the same size I was as a teen. Size 3.

Daisy Mae we do have to eliminate factory farmed hormone laden meat and poultry and opt for grass fed organic meat. I recently read the Omnivores Dilemma and it opened my eyes.

Eat to live not live to eat. Drink Weight Loss GreenStoreTea to lose weight.

That’s rude

I mean to say I wnt my waist is 30......sorry my English is not gud....haha

In addition to cutting starchy carbs and sugars, exercise sensibly as she said. Remember you burn fat evenly so a total body workout before targeting areas to tone.

sure... closer to 53 every day.

and why are you commenting on this?

Congratulations! Could you share your secret, please!

Lol, that's exactly what I was saying and thinking ;-)

Appreciate that you have your own style of absorbing information Lori!

@@Flipping50TV I respectfully disagree that your videos are too "talkie". Life after 50 comes with many complexities - emotional and physical. Your vids are probably the most accurate and insightful for over 50 post-menopausal women who aren't looking for short term fixes. Thanks for the comprehensive information - very much appreciated! Happy New Year!

I agree.

Yes

This is too long.

THank goodness this was 4 years ago and I've learned from some very positive comments and supportive and grateful individuals who share.

Informative

Janice Kendall 😱

I understand! There are plenty of Non-teaching videos abundant on YT. I'm an instructor..and the WHY before the how and what are important to my audience. Best of luck finding exactly what makes you happy!

You are a straight-up classy lady!

I haven't seen high carb and low fat work for many women long term, Karen. True everyone is different. However, the hormone response in your body is fairly similar when we're given a changing diet. The right kind of carbs helps. Timing also is crucial- in coordination with your hormones boosts the best response. You might want to get lab tests done on your hormone levels if you've changed all your lifestyle habits for the better and then responded with more change if you didn't see and feel great energy from it. Test, don't guess.

Thank you so much for your response. I am due to get my yearly lab tests done. I am adding in more walking and finally I lost a few pounds. Still look very pregnant at 62 though, will keep working on it.

Replace your oatmeal/fruit breakfast with eggs and strawberries, chicken or tuna with a tomato for lunch, and steak or fish and salad for dinner, and a small amount of nuts and raisens for dessert. Eat until you're full don't skimp. If you get a jones for sweets, try sugar free chocolate pudding, or sugarfree vanilla pudding with strawberries. Try it for two weeks (with your doctors approval of course) and you'll most likely see some improvement. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for your response. There is so much cancer in my family, not me so far, that I decided to cut out the meat and dairy from my diet, which is known to cause cancer and heart disease. That leaves me with a whole foods plant based diet. I have been finding good recipes lately, so hopefully it will work for me.

Sadie Mae There's a specific recommendation per meal for protein Sadie for adults over 50 -it becomes more important even as we've been losing muscle easier than gain it. We've got to individually test and assess food allergies and tolerances rather than give a blanket "diet" for all. We have unique biochemistry and our micro biome changes with stress, illness, meds, and hormonal and lifestyle factors. Glad you have found something that works for you. We want a forever change however, not a one or two week change unless it's testing temporarily to tell us the permanent solution. Sugar cravings (articificial or real) are information your body may be nutrient deficient. Instead of feeding them, it's best to find the cause of the craving for optimal health. Love that you're here!

😄

It's a lifestyle.

What's wrong with 'products'? Do you not go shopping for 'products' every day at the supermarket and mall?
