I agree with you so far,...until you suggested hot yoga. I used to love hot yoga classes. However, my health problems correlate soon after my classes. It began compromising my lungs. I didnt have issues with asthma since childhood. Suddenly my breathing was difficult. I started getting pneumonia that required amoxicillin and steroids. I Was healthy, on no medications at 65, now 69. After a trip in 2020, I took 2 hot yoga classes, 2 days later I went to the hospital. After many tests and xrays. I was diagnosed with a bacterial lung infection. Why??? It was from hot yoga. Think about this. The water pools at the bottom of the vents after the class is over. This water creates mold and bacteria. Next class, it gets blown out into the room. Similar vector as legionnaires disease. I tried to bring it to the gyms attention but covid stopped everything.
Normal yoga is awesome not interested in hot. You have to follow your own intuition.
So sorry that happened to you:( Hope you are making a full recovery. ❤️
I believe it!! Be careful what you watch and believe in especially on youtube which is the the way to make loads of cash if you take the time to watch, comment, like...doesn't matter as the videomaker is out to make money by selling you and gets commission on what they are trying to sell. Of course reused pools are loaded with bacteria etc. which proves they are not healthy and not treated properly especially germ feeding hot spas. Take care. God bless.
I walked past an hot yoga studio one summer day, the door was open, the smell was horrific. No way I would enter.
WHOAH!!!
Menopause, knee surgery hysterectomy, and divorce caused ugly fat to appear. I am 73 years and feeling awful and discouraged cause I grew up very slim. This fat is super stubborn. I pray these ideas kick off some fat removal. Thanks🎉
If you have adrenal fatigue, intense workouts is very detrimental
Just have to get enough sleep
I am so thrilled to find your videos tonight. I have just subscribed. I am 53, perimenopause (3 years now, 2nd year in I gave into using HRT Patches). I have the tug of war with hypothyroid vs the menopause and always having to get my labs done. The endocrinologist has actually given up on me lol!! (It fluctuates!! I have since learned it's GOING to during Menopause!)
I think this is the first time I've heard anyone really go into the ** increase of protein ** with such clarity and motivation (AND resistance training)!! And HOW you present it all is SO wonderful *really really wonderful* I think you are the FIRST to convince me to try this path! (I have heard others but I'm sitting here rolling my eyes wondering where a pillow for a snooze is!)
My body... has gained 45 lbs in the last 3 years, I've gone from a dress size 12 to a 22🙈🙈. I am... for lack of better words, going..........crazy. I am going to dive back into my nutritional sciences studies (Formerly a nutritional counsellor to help people lose weight ironically! I did not feel right practicing any more given my current physical and 'mind' state) But I LOVED your presentation in this way! I am eager to explore these options and more (AND very eager..... to lose this horrible weight!!) 🙈 thank you for being here!! 🙏🏼🌺
I asked my father, a medical school professor, about hot yoga and his opinion was that it was unhealthy and could lead to bacterial infection, as stated in the comment below. I practice regular yoga, but was concerned about hot yoga being introduced years ago at my gym. I voiced my concerns and stopped attending. Eventually hot yoga was eliminated from the schedule, most likely due to feedback from more customers. I love yoga, but have found that instructors who jump on trends due to lack of medical education can cause more harm than good. I am 62 and cross train daily. I find that HITT classes and weight training have kept me in great shape. JJ has given us good advice other than the hot yoga.
Menopause can make some woman crave savoury or sweet foods. Keep moving I'd say.. dance cycle or walk. If your that woman who craves fatty foods .like myself
I'm 50 I struggle with sugars terribly. Thank you for your tips it's so lovely and caring and sharing🙏💜🦋🦋
I've entered menopause period amidst my phd studies, being an immigrant and alone to take care of my two daughters, while also worked, since I didn't have any scholarship. So, talk about mega hiper duper stress... I've began to have anxiety attacks and gained weight that nothing could fix it. Began to take ashwagandha for the stress and it helped me so much... I sleep again the whole night, no more anxiety attacks, even my hair stopped falling and then, along with intermitent fasting, I'm finally losing weight. Now, after this great video, gonna start resistency exercises to build muscle. Thank you so much for the excelent content!
This is not a cop out:
My husband is a narcissist and my mom lives with me too and she has short term memory loss due to a couple of strokes. She wants every waking moment of my time. I’m also an in home caregiver to a man for 3 hours a day. When I’m not at work mom thinks I’m supposed to be home with her!
Stress is something I can’t get away from.
Is it possible to get up a few minutes early? I live in an uneasy situation myself. I actually get up when everyone is asleep and do my exercises then. I spend 15 - 30 minutes a day doing a walking tape.
Sometimes, I even watch my phone and exercise in my bathroom, and keep the volume low so no one knows I am exercising. If people ask me what I'm doing, I just say I'm using the bathroom. There are free workouts on RUclips. I also kept my weight loss journey a secret so the people I live with couldn't sabotage my weight loss journey.
Another thing, I know you're a caretaker, and it's difficult, but you also need to make yourself a priority. I always put other people first, including my family and my job. When I finally saw my picture last year, I saw how much I had stuffed down my stress using food.
It took me losing my job and almost losing my mind for me to finally start putting myself first.
Belly fat is the least of your worries. try to find some time in your week when nobody is demanding your time/labour. xx
Sounds like my mom too and I walk dogs twice a day, stand or walk on treadmill when at the pc, must try to lift some weights and do strength training. I have a huge waist. Post menopausal.
🙏❤️
Throughout the day make sure to do different breathing techniques. Find a plethora to try on RUclips. Some are more energizing, some are more calming. These save me!
I started watching your video and I found it so informative 👍thank you
Thank you for the encouragement on exercise and stress. I am carnivore and getting the protein!
Gratitude. I subscribed
"Put the pink weights down. Those are paperweights."😂 Great video and you have a new subscriber.
Glad you liked it!
I’m 69. In 2017 I had a thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer. I’m vegan dairy free gluten free but still get plant based protein supplement with vitamin B12. I exercise one hour daily mostly resistance and HITT and feel great.
I had a hysterectomy and went into surgical menopause and immediately gained 30+ lbs…
Amazing video! Everything you need to know in under 20 minutes
5 minutes in and I am subscribing!!! I do lift heavy things and gonna do some more. I don't do the HIIT but I work out almost every day (spinning, zumba, yoga, weight training ...Repeat).
Thank you, Mary! Keep up the amazing work.
Cut 90% sugar and carbs from your daily diet will reduce weight tremendously.
Simple carbs you mean.
In my 30s yes. But I'm 48 and nothing is working. Building muscle is going to be my next try. I hope it works
@@swim610I’m 61 yo and lifting weights was definitely a solution that worked for me!🏋️♀️
@swim610 it works. Just watch what you're eating. Literally. Cut off all bread, rice, and potato from your diet. Especially bread. You will see result within a week.
All carbs aren't bad...there are good carbs and when ur building muscle u need good carbs as well.....if ur loosing weight to rapidly u will loose muscle as well....that's why the keto and such diets are realli not that good of a thing...high fats no carbs..mehhhh I did it and I won't do it again, I know better now. I strength train and yes, this is the BEST way...I love protien and creatine and GOOD carbs of course inline with my macros...and leafy veggies as well as NATURAL sugar....muscle burns fat....and SLEEEEEP!!!
Yoga! One of the best gifts from India ❤
Hello JJ just watched your video on menopause belly fat. Just curious what’s the best collagen to purchase?
I love my rebounder ! I jog in place NO KNEE PAIN! I was a runner for 40 years !
Awesome!
Thanks!
I have a rebounder too, how long do you run for and how often, thanks
What is a rebounder?🤔
This was a great video breakdown of how to get rid of menopause fat. I’m going to incorporate creatine into my daily regimen and an after dinner walk.
Thank you!
And if you are going to work out like that, it would be best to cut out the carbs like sugar / sweets and breads, pastas, etc. The food we eat in the USA is poisoning us with chemicals, sugars, preservatives, additives and just plain garbage.
I sometimes do arm weights when the kettle is boiling! Very Irish of me. Need a cup of tea. sometimes it's peppermint tea.
thank you for sharing
My pleasure. Thank you for watching.
Wonderfully presented and well organized material on such. A critical topic. Regarding creatine, this was very timely and I have two questions. 1: I was happy to hear you Say there is no downside. I spoke to a cardiologist I know yesterday and we were talking about creatine and he mentioned it being hard on the kidneys. Can you please speak to this? I've taken it before and had to stop because
of a bad reaction. However, I think I was overdoing. It.
I am a group fitness instructor and was working out a lot more at that time. It's been several years ago and now that I'm 55, my husband and I are going to start and just do the 5g. per day. I also thought I'd cycle it and take a day off here and there and/or a week off every 6 or so weeks. Now I'm not sure if that would work. I do like to break from supplements from time to time. Just makes me feel good to give my body a rest.
2nd. Question: Do you think it is safe and/or necessary for an almost 17y/o male who has been working out regularly since Feb? My son is adamant that he needs it daily and cannot take. A break. I am concerned.
Thanks so much from Ormond Beach 🌺🌺🌺🌞🌞🐬🐟🐠🌴
Lisa
Loved u long time JJ 😉😂
What creatine supplement do you recommend? I bought your VIP bundle and looked for creatine but didn't see it, maybe I missed it? Thanks!!
Hello JJ , Thank you for this video! The best from all of menopause’s fat belly videos. Thank you for your clear explanation and content . I have read a lot about it , try everything without success - now I see my mistakes, and with your positive attitude I can make it better. Just one more thing, my experience is that we must train our brains to accept that and help to do it. You know that be lazy is so easy:-) thanks again for your motivating words 🎉❤
Thank you so much, Kamilla.
@@jjvirginvideoswondering about reformer Pilates. Can I do that instead of weights? If not how many classes of this?
Any exercises for those who already have osteoporosis?
How much stretching is good after weightlifting days?
Hi JJ I was just curious how would one know if she where creatin definicit
What to do, if you have permanent wrist injury and can't lift weights any more?
The last time I felt that burn was yesterday when I was road cycling and pressing 25mph.. 😉
Lol what a show off
What do I do if I have serious knee issues that stop me from squatting at all and even knee lifts. After I injured my knee, I gained belly fat.
I take natural products for menapouse ,and I'm in my second month of Aqua water Aerobics. And i love it, it helps with my menapouse symptoms and loosing weight.
JJ is there a specific creatine supplement you recommend?
Here is the one JJ uses and recommends - amzn.to/42imEra - Rachel at Team JJ
Thanks for the video as this information helps. ❤ I was diagnosed with estrogen positive breast cancer last year and I am on Aromatase Inhibitors and Lupron shots to decrease my estrogen. Unfortunately, this throws me into menopause and I noticed out of the blue I started getting thicker in my lower abdomen and I was like, “What is this?” One of the oncologists on my team said that Aromatase Inhibitors can change your metabolic activity and instead of burning fat, you tend to store fat. I eat mostly a vegetarian diet but will eat some lean protein on occasion and I walk 3 miles a day. Lol, I do have the pink weights, and the blue ones so after seeing this video it looks like I need to bump up the weights to see better results. 🤞💕
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful to you. Dealing with breast cancer and the related treatments can be challenging, but it's great to hear that you're taking proactive steps towards your health. Stay strong and positive on your journey! 💪💕
@@jjvirginvideos
Thank you! 💕
Did you get this by taking hormones???? Did it cause your cancer? I tried HRT it made me feel so bloated ( like after you eat a Thanksgiving meal) so o stopped taking it.
The first thing you want to do is intermittent fasting (Fast for 16-18 hours, having a shorter eating window) Get rid of processed carbs from your diet and get more Omega 3 than Omega 6. THEN do weight resistant exercise to keep from losing your muscle mass whilst you lose weight
I struggle with a 3rd degree pelvic organ prolapse and lifting heavy weight is a big no no. I also must do what lifting I can seated. Any suggestions?
Please tell me how many meals in day do you recommend for menopausal women, two bigger or three smaller? Thanks.
JJV. What CREATINE do you recommend? I need better recovery. I do weight lifting three times a week and am experiencing lots of DOMS. THANKS
Creatine can damage your kidneys
Can I ask, what about those declining hormones? Do you recommend HRT as hormonal support for the weight training? From what I read, all the research shows that we can't prevent osteoporosis without adequate estrogen. What are your thoughts? Are you on HRT?
It's amazing and really worth taking. Honestly, you need the hormones
I am very motivated but I'm in severe pain in sciatica, should I be doing all these exercises I barely can walk. I used to work at 5 1/2 days a week and I would love to. I just am in so much pain. Do you have any
does your information also benefit for younger people in there 20's? Thanks
I use estrogens hormone therapy, I don t use hydrocarbonates, I do exercise and I don t lose weight. Maybe you can post a story of a real life person who was fat and lost weight during or after menopause (but is doesn t really end does it). We women are getting sick of people trying to sell weight loss without showing real people who lost belly fat in this period of their lives. There is literally NO real live person to find on you tube who lost weight during menopause. Only skinny, already good looking women who use their looks to sell their product, but have nothing to show for in terms of real live testimonies of fat people who did lose weight during/after menopause......
There’s an over-50 RUclipsr named Melissa who got in fantastic shape after menopause and she tells everyone how she did it. Can’t think of her last name but search for Melissa, weight loss after menopause etc. She has a British accent.
Melissa Neill.
I have a size 18 friend who looks beautiful. Being bigger doesn’t mean you are ugly. Being skinny also doesn’t mean you will look beautiful.
Agree
I do CrossFit and I'll be 39 in August. After having my baby 2 years ago and stopped breastfeeding 1 year ago, my hormones are wild and it's like CrossFit isn't working anymore.
I have a nutrition coach and even after counting macros, I'm still having a hard time with some of this baby weight. That's how I know it's hormones.
@@donnaagar5491 thanks Donna! I'm subscribed to her channel and considering getting her book, "fast like a girl" - I had a nutrition coach through my gym for the past couple months and not seeing the needle move much really clued me in to the fact that it's all hormones!
@@donnaagar5491I really don’t care for Mindy’s message AT ALL!!
Genetics matter, and like a lot of the keto types she ignores the vast amount of humans that have genetically mutated LDL receptors and/or PCSK9 genes. Among other things. People are different, one size does not fit all.
She is irresponsible and a salesman at best.
“Dr” Ha, she’s chiropractor I think eh.
A REAL hormone expert, without the fluffy channel and sales pitch…Professor Susan Davis. Have a listen to her on a podcast. I know she’s been a guest on “The Proof” podcast recently.
@@Marta_is_hereis she on Apple podcasts ?
Try something else.
What is the best creatine. I seem to not be able to take just any out there stomach issues is there better types thanks
Hello! Here is the Creatine that JJ uses and recommends - amzn.to/42imEra - Cheers, Team JJ
*THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDS FOR PEEPS OVER 40!*
I try to average about 150 to 165 grams of Protein per day/30 grams of carbs (or less) per day/Good fats.. equal about 35% to maybe 40% of my daily intake. so.. 45%P/ 40%F /15% Carb. Lots of squats../heavy weight train.. 4 days week. *Yes yes yes to Creatine = everyday/consistencyis the key - it does about a month till you'll notice it.* Kick the high sugar/processed foods to the curb as much as possible/totally if you can.
Hi Shite, what brand do you use for Creatine and mg?
Here is the one JJ uses and recommends - amzn.to/42imEra - Rachel at Team JJ
@JJ Virgin Thanks alot!
I'm 140 pounds, so I would need about 110 or 120 grams protein per day?
Well there goes pillate classes. Now I have to go lift weights 🏋️♀️
If the issue is hormone imbalance why would the fix be anything but HRT?
Ya don’t eat that’s how you solve it. Worked for me
I do deep water exercise 1 to 2 times a week, which category does this fall into? ?
Methylene blue helps with alot of things especially perimenapause
What if you have calcium build up in your shoulders making more pain when you lift heavy objects? It makes it worse. What can I do?
How about if you have bad knees ? Due to lack of Estrogen? And I hurt my back SI Joint ? Om just falling apart. :( Help ?!
Is there a way to trick oneself into enjoying resistance training?
Hiit training I have to avoid because I have an aortic aneurysm. The heavy lifting I can do moderate as much as I can tolerate.
Would appreciate if you could create workouts for us to follow on RUclips ❤️
Anyone know what kind of creatinine she refers to? Please let me know 🙏
Can you recommend a good app to track macros?
MyFitnessPal, Lose It, Chromometer, Life Sum or My Plate. MyFitnessPal free only allows you to track macros by a percentage, but you can adjust it.
I have a hard time with counting my macros do you do personal training with meals and training
Hi @user-og5zy8to3p You may find this podcast of JJ's helpful where she discusses macros and how to find the right ratio for you - jjvirgin.com/main-podcast/i-tracked-my-macros-for-30-days-heres-what-happened-ep-554/ and she recommends the Cronometer app for tracking macros, which you can check out here - jjvirgin.com/cronometer - Team JJ
No time to do sports every day sorry if you are working full day. I go to gym or group trainings 3 times a week, try to walk every day and sometimes do some exercises in the morning.. trying to eat food with proteins but the doctors do not recommend any protein powder so I try to get it through the food.
As far as the weight days... would I do just one of the "areas" on one day or would I be doing all of the areas on all three of those days? Great video and information! Thank you!
Rotate specific body areas. I start out on the treadmill for 10 mins, pace of about 3 to 5 and incline of 4 to 5. I work my core EVERYDAY, I’m working out. I work out 5 days and give myself the weekend to recoup. I switch it up with arms/shoulder/back days and glute/leg days. I’m 50 and I’ve never been this toned.
@@tunacangirl5140 thank you for the info! 😁
hi jj' i started following your advice, i am 56. of course i track what i eat ... macroes.. etc.. i work at the gim 6 days a week , at the begining, i only did cardio . now i usualy do half an hour of cardio and then i do resistance traning for an hour. is it better to suparate the days i do cardio and the days i do strength training? tnx for all your wonderfull informative videos.
less cardio (increases cortisol) and more resistance weight training (muscles burn fat without you even having to do anything)
Can you make a exercise video for us post metaphase woman?
This would be awesome!!
I do heavy lifting and pilates reformer. I also teach yoga as well as practice yoga. I mostly practice ashtanga with my teacher or at home. Yogic traditions teach to not practice in extreme heat ( many different reasons why) if you are interested in those reasons you can do a quick google search. However I occasionally take a yoga class in infrared sauna, infared is know to kill bacteria and viruses, been taking it for the last 3 years with no issues. Definitely people have to do what is best for their body, don’t jump on trends.
These exercises aren’t for me. I’m 67 and have severe arthritis in all major joints. I’ve already had one hip replacement and the other hip and knees are next. I also have torn rotator cuffs in both shoulders. Any alternatives for us?
Reformer Pilates - gentle & highly effective
I am a certified personal trainer. She knew what she is talking.
As a certified fitness nutritionist, macros (carbs, protein & oil) should be taken according to your body weight & divide it depending on your goal. 1) Gain weigh, 2) build muscles (like body builders), or 3) lean thinner with little of muscles) will depend on your diet . Example plan is to be lean: carbs 30%, 35 % protein and 35% oil = total daily calories consumption. Ask a fitness nutritionist 🤣
I like your message.
I have always heard though that TRUE hiit 3xweekly could cause CNS burnout, especially in menopausal woman?
What do you think about that?
Anyway. I’ve been working out since the 80’s, maintaining muscle and a pretty good shape.
Totally got the menopause 30lbs?!! All belly.
I was working to get it off, was making progress and 6 weeks ago I had to have a radical hysterectomy.
I’m just 60 last month and started working out again yesterday.
I NEED to get back in good condition by July ( Costa Rica hiking trip) lol good timing.
Advice?
Down the protein like candy?
*edited, by Doctor put my on an estrogen patch after hysterectomy, because of horrible hot flashes and night sweats. My true menopause was around age 55.
I hope your recovery is fast and thorough and that your trip gives you fabulous memories. Good on you for all those work outs you didnt feel like doing at the time.
@@Plethorality Thank you so much for your nice words!
My workouts 3 months pre-hysterectomy were sporadic at best because of my symptoms. But I did my best 💪
Damn bad timing 😉
I’ll get it!! I’m determined, and positive energy like yours helps!
Its all well and good to say we need to do HIIT. I was doing it and the fact that it was no longer working, is how I found out I was in menopause. I stopped doing HIIT because menopause starting causing heart issues. What do I do about that? I don't have to energy to do HIIT again. I have just started to go to the gym though.
Check out Meredith Shirk 'one and done', I tried Hiit was very hectic, kept getting injuries. Also phala b-on youtube- this worked for me for 2 years am 54
Yes, Pahla B is fantastic. She’s currently focused on creating “Shorts” vids for RUclips but you can choose any of her workouts to do for success! Go for it!
Check out Dr Mindy Pelz shes all about hormones and menapause for women trying to lose weight and keep fit, i highly recommend her
Tala any chance you took cowid vaxxine?
I was just watching a video on magnesium and it said magnesium deficiency can cause heart issues. For me, I take magnesium to help with neuropathy and it is a miracle! Well worth looking into that mag/ heart connection!
A side effect of Creatin is to make you gain weight, so I'm confused about how it helps you lose weight 😮 also is this amount of protein( 1g per lb/body weight) per meal or per day? Thank you for the help!
Per day. Eg, if you weigh 120lb you aim for 120g of protein per day. This is divided between the meals you consume. So if you eat 3 meals, each meal has 40g of protein in it.
@@eleanorday1854 thank you ❤️
@@sofiya9212 also…the weight gain from creatine is due to water being held in the muscle, so not actual weight from body fat.
Hello Miss JJ. I'm 49 and I'm a teacher. I'm tired when I get home from the school. Any suggestions?
Hello, I’m almost 62 I do a very easy gentle yoga first thing in the morning.
Then I go on a walk, I am always trying for 10,000
steps.
I eat well, & I care for 3 seniors, so lots of running around.
My problem is the belly fat, been working hard & as much as I can.
I was in 3 car accidents
last one was in 2017 (head on collision): 4 1/2
Years physical therapy .
I have osteoarthritis as a result.
My question is how can I strengthen my body without hurting myself?
I love me very much, I don’t want to give up,
I lost 128lbs 14 years ago
I have gained 30 back,& want it gone.
I have a gym membership,spoke with them last week,but they don’t offer 1on1 ,said I could join in and look at some of the classes they have.
I’m on egg shells when it comes to protecting myself,& I’m wondering if my walking might be hurting me.
Thanks for your time,
Cuddles from Canada 🇨🇦

What about yoga on the wall. There’s lots RUclips videos. I am also afraid to hurt myself.
10,000 steps is excessive and reducing can only help be good to yourself
Eat less, move more. Simple formula, but hard to maintain if you weren't disciplined before menopause. 16/8 diet works the best for any age group. Plus exercises help a lot.
Any one at any stage of their lives can make a decision to take better care of themselves.
Do u use creatine on days u don’t work out?
Helpful - but overwhelming in that she talks quickly (have to keep pausing and repeating to catch key numbers). It would be helpful if she’d provide an on-ramp for stuff. The workouts, especially. I can’t figure out if I’m even hitting these.
What is the name of the scale that will tell of what our body is made of?
Hi Linda, that would be a body composition scale. JJ recommends either a Tanita or Omron body composition scale! There are many options and prices depending on your budget - Rachel at Team JJ
i’m not at all overweight, i just have a belly. i don’t know if this video is for me. step one for me is to stop drinking beer. other than the beer and things like breads that just contain sugar, i do not eat sugar otherwise. i dont want anything complicated, i just want a good, simple workout that’s all
Can anyone recommend a body scales that she is talking about? Thanks
Hi there! JJ recommends either a Tanita or Omron body composition scale! There are many options and prices depending on your budget - Rachel at Team JJ
Can I do these after hysterectomy ?
Everything I got injured, it was from exercise not everyday life. I have 3 spinal surgeries to prove it.
Maybe u were lifting too heavy and/or poor technique? Hire a professional to help you lift correctly.
Did you start slow… recovery is important too
Can swimming help reduce the visceral fat? 😢
Please make a exersise vedio for menopause women
My visceral fat seems fine, it's my subcutaneous that's the problem 😢
JJ, I'm confused. my ideal weight is 135 if I do .7g to 1.g that is 94-135 gm which is 3.3-4.5 oz. Is that in a day or a meal??
you need to consume that amount of protein per day, not at each meal..
@@BullShite-et2hf Well, if you do that. and log your food on cronometer you will be way behind on the amount of protein if you eat 1500 calaries a day. So I ask again. Please explain what I"m missing
@@danaprahl9748 The 94-135gm's would be per day, then you would divide that number by the number of meals you eat per day. That would give you the number of grams per meal. I hope that helps. But yes, you want to get 94-135 gm's of protein per day if you weigh 135.
@@danaprahl9748 You might be missing the step of converting the grams of protein to calories. Protein is 4 calories per gram so you would convert it by taking the number of grams and multiplying it by 4 to get your total calories that are from your protein. So if you are eating 1500 calories a day and getting in 135 grams of protein (135X4= 540) 540 of those 1500 calories are coming from protein. I hope that makes sense.
@@joannlamothe6640 Thanks for the info.
I have an abdominal hernia…a couple so Icant be lifting heavy things on a constant basis so why put down small weights?
What about working with a physical therapist to help you
May you please spell out the kind of scale you mentioned. When your voice drops, I don't catch what you're saying. Thank you!
It is a bioimpedance scale
Not really what I wanted to hear, as I hate going to the gym. I go reluctantly for 20-minutes sessions on the elliptical, and that's about all I can tolerate. This comes from always being the last chosen in gym class. It's ingrained in me that sports don't deem me worthy.
Help! How does this apply to me if I gained instant 10lbs of (mostly belly) fat in menopause but my scale shows visceral fat of only 8, but sub. fat of 28% and good muscle mass.
I hear you. My viseral is a little lower but my subcutaneous is the same as you. I have been thin all my life abd have struggled to gain weight as a child through to my 20's now in my late 40's since going through early menapause about 4 years ago now on HRT I gain this fat and cellulute and can't budget it. I do pilaties 3 times a week I try to walk each day at lunch time however I have a medical condition ulcerative colitis where I get set backs with flare ups and fatigue my job is super demanding and I don't deal with stress well. I'm now going to Chiro because my body is a mess, so again my work outs have stopped due to pain in my back and arm etc I feel it's an ever ending battle. Going crazy here. Oh and forget HITT My body and joints can't manage it
Oh my….. I got exactly the same problem!
@@darkdeb4185do a 3 day dry FAST it works wonders 👍
@@jasminejones9937from what time to what time would it be best to fast ?
I totally understand ...I gained 10 pounds 3 times between 45 and 70 years old...and it is good portion belly fat..really discouraging since most my life I was slim. Help!!
Ok. What do you do when you’ve had an eating disorder for 20+ years?? A scale like that can make me spiral. I had to get my ovaries taken out because of horrible cysts. So I want you to speak to the women who can’t use those scales or use a tape measure to “check” body fat.
Is this for post menopaual or peri menopausal weight loss? I studied peri menopausal weight lss and it says to not work out so hard, do low impact. I just want to make sure.
Hello! It's for both. You can adjust your workout intensity to your needs. Cheers - Team JJ
Listen to her for less than 5 mins. She not talking about something simple.
I would pretend a bear was chasing me on my treadmill.. until I injured myself. That bear mauled my sciatica.
😂This was the best comment. The bear got my spine, the weight training got my shoulders, dancing took my ankles, running destroyed my knees. Now I do whatever I can on a rotating basis...and wish I had waited to work out and do extreme sports until I was 60 LOL
Kerotine? What is the supplement you recommend around 15.40 in the video? It would be great to see these things in written form for those of who are visual learners. Thanks for all this great info also!
Creatine
A friend of mine sent me the video, thank God I may say. I've got 8kgs abdominal fat😢 in 2yrs. I'm 48. My period has stopped since August 2022 when my mum died after 3 pfizer's 💉.
Happy to have you here.
@@jjvirginvideos happy to he here 💪🥰
Thank you both ☺️
Wow...really...sad to hear
@@dianasmith1398 thank you 😞
I eat 135 grams of protein that lean - most women won’t want this job to consume this much. I train 7 days a week -
Are you kidding ?
Fasting & working out heavy like 100 pounds & more - you are wrong !
I agree, fasted training for women is not healthy. Also, weights should be very heavy - 6 reps to failure. JJ needs to Look up Dr Stacy Sims and Dr Gabrielle Lyon.
One of the side effects of creatine is weight gain! Isnt that the opposite of what we want?!
Not if you're eating correct level of P/F/C = macro's based on your weight..and getting the appropriate level of exersices as the video clearly outlined. If you are following that regime.. and you notice the weight scale go up.. you're most likley building muscle.. not fat.
Best creatine ?
Hello, here is the Creatine that JJ uses and recommends: store.jjvirgin.com/collections/supplements/products/clean-creatine-powder

ha ha, my weights are pink. They are quite heavy though, 2 kilos each. I'm going to incorporate weights in to my weekly routine even though I don't enjoy it. I have been walking about 30 kilometres a week and I'm not overweight but my torso is like a tree trunk. Any slimness of waist has just gone. I'm 52 though. It would be nice to think I could get a waist back.
Sorry to tell you this, but 2kg is not quite heavy. I'm a 62yr old 4'10" woman, not particularly fit or strong. At gym today I did 4 sets x 15 reps seated dumbell shoulder press 6kg, lateral raises 4 kg and incline bicep curls 6kg, and that was at end of my workout, having done a load of other stuff. That's why JJ says to step away from the pink weights. Not boasting, just saying.
Weights are subjective what is heavy for one person is light for another......
