I have tears in my eyes because I’ve got to cut the fat. I feel so defeated because I’ve been so successful in the past...I’m 57 and feel so old and frumpy. I know I’m not alone but I know there is hope. Thank you Lisa for the hope.
If I can do keto and IF anyone can. I was a sugar carb addict. I followed Dr Berg on RUclips and lost almost 75 pounds. Didn’t spend money on any gimmicks or products just followed his way of keto/IF. He has thousands of videos. Educate yourself and get started in a new life.
@@MyMaria1224 no yogurt. Too many carbs. If you go to Dr Bergs RUclips channel look for his video on where to start keto. I’ll find it and send the link. Here’s the link ruclips.net/video/vMZfyEy_jpI/видео.html. The other Dr I follow on RUclips who I think is fantastic is Dr Berry. He has daily videos and every Monday night has a great one hour show. Again, these are free and you don’t need to buy special food. Have tried every diet on the planet including spending thousands at weight watchers, Jenny Craig and Lindora spent several thousands only to have my weight return ten fold.
@@wizkidsvideos I agree with them below, check out dr bergs videos on keto. I have lost 15 lbs in 2 months and I feel so much better! Understand how sugar and carbs affect your body.
I’ve lost my first born son 6 years ago on Thanksgiving. I no longer enjoy the holidays. It hurts my heart knowing so many of you have this pain. Praying for y’all 💛♥️
I don't know if it's our age (I just turned 50 two days ago), but I can relate to so many things you are talking about.. On July 4th I started low carb, lost 32 pounds so far, feeling better than ever. ❤️💕
I so hear you Lisa on making good choices for the body. I have lost 24 pounds in 2018 and was able to keep it off for two years until Covid hit. I remember feeling the same in the mornings when I could wear anything and it looked good and felt comfortable. I have gained almost all of the weight back during Covid and as of two weeks ago decided to choose something that makes me feel better than food. I’m choosing myself. Thanks for your positive, warm videos!
I suffer from joint pain and IBS myself. I can completely relate when you say that you can’t eat salad because it tears me up as well. I am on a journey myself to remove vegetables and nuts from my diet to see if my legs will hurt less. I would love to see a food diary of when you eat and what you eat for a few days. Love your videos and love you! Keep it up!
Hi Lisa...I’ve been on a similar journey. I’m 47...and I have a pumpkin pie hack! Little bit of canned pumpkin and a little bit of plain Greek yogurt- no sugar...only about 5 carbs per serving. Then a few drops of liquid stevia....and a bunch of pumpkin pie spice. I’ve been eating it almost ever day...it is so yummy. Thanks for all you do. Love watching your channel. ❤️
Lisa, you are so motivating! You look beautiful. I just turned 44 a few days ago and I’ve been feeling so frumpy. I’ve got to lose weight! I’m going to listen to this video everyday to help keep me on track. Thank you for sharing and always being so kind.
I REALLY NEEDED THIS VIDEO, LISA!!! Hoping you keep doing this kind of content. Motivation is EVERYTHING when trying to lose weight. Would love a video on what to do when you lose sight of your motivation or start making excuses. I'm the queen of excuses!!😊❤❤❤
Lisa- You and Dr Berg helped me get back on track and attain my weight loss goal. Omad keto is not easy at first but keeps me at my goal weight. Thank you for your candid talks ❤️😊
The beginning of your video mirrored me exactly. I just turned 54 and had terrible IBS issues. I ate two big salads almost everyday along with more veggies at dinner. I never EVER EVER put those two things together until I heard you mention it in a previous video. My issues also started in perimenopause but I thought the loose stools were from stress or sometimes anxiety. I did keto for one year over 3 years ago and only lost a little in the first 4 months. I eventually gave up. There was not the info we have now. Ha I started following Dr Berry when he had about 500 followers as he was just beginning his keto journey. After watching your videos and doing my own new research I started my keto journey again 11 weeks ago. I’ve lost 15lbs and I forgot how great I would feel EVERY SINGLE DAY. I’m sleeping better and my bathroom trips are perfectly normal. I am so happy. I’m not a big fan of Dr Berg...as some of his info is not correct, but I love Dr Eric Westman ~ Adapt Your Life and Dr Ben Bickman. These two doctors, and a little nudge from you, have changed my health trajectory moving forward. My body just doesn’t process carbs well and this will be a lifelong struggle for me. Why We Get Sick by Ben Bickman is fantastic. He is a metabolic doctor and explains why this really is the best way to eat. Most people will be fine with higher than keto amounts but we have to heal the insulin resistance. I had a complete hysterectomy 6 months ago so I’m finally at 54 in menopause and I am so happy to be losing weight. 💖 Thank you Lisa 😘
I totally relate to everything you said. I lost 30 pounds at age 50 and loved being able to wear anything and felt so good! Then I got lazy again and am now approaching 60 in January and need to get back on track! Gained so much weight in the past few yrs eating anything and everything. I hate having my picture taken or looking in the mirror. My husband is a great cook and naturally thin so it's a struggle for me to not eat everything and now living in Florida everywhere we like to go at the beach restaurants is fried with french fries. I am definitely a carb person and crave bread and pasta and potatoes etc. Not good. And love my wine. I'm not a big dessert person luckily. Need to find what works to eat and feel satisfied and fits into our life. But definitely need to find myself again. I have a closet full of clothes that don't fit! Enjoy your honesty and videos. Thank you.
I’ve lost 12 lbs so far thanks to YOU, Lisa..being my inspiration. IF, Keto, and that Align probiotic at night. And yes!! I know now how it feels to feel good (no stomach aches)
Lisa something you said in one of your keto videos really clicked with me. You said after 40 you need to make a drastic change to see results bc things don’t work like they do in your 20s or 30s. You said it again here about being ready for a big change. thank you for putting it in a way that made sense to me. I’m down 20lbs since the end of Aug and just feel good. No more headaches or low back pain. Amazing sleep and sharp mental alertness is awesome. I have major hair loss but just added collagen to help.
I post videos and I’m over 50. I have an auto immune disease and put on a lot of weight from medication. I also have trouble with certain joints that makes things very hard for me but, eating keto and now I’m using the app Peloton (and no, I don’t have the bike for the treadmill at this time and I still use) has been wonderful.
Lisa I have some questions for you. 1. How much money do you think you have saved not eating out? 2. What differences have you noticed in your skin, do you think your new eating habits are anti aging? 3.Have you started any exercise regime?
I wanted to tell you THANK YOU!!! I started the carnivore diet & it's awesome!! I'm over 40 & couldn't lose weight. I've finally found something that works & I feel awesome. Thank you so much 💓💗
This is actually super helpful! I usually shy away from anything talking weight loss because it makes me self sabotage sometimes. I appreciated so many points you made here! High five! 🤩
Lisa please post what you eat daily in a week. I discovered you in mid august and immediately the next day started keto cold turkey, lol I was so good and strict on it but only lost 2 lbs in 2 months, was very disappointed with that but I did feel soooo much better. Pls help with a menu
Due too your IBS, I know that you had cut out a lot of foods that you knew you were reacting to. What do you eat now? What things do you find agree best with you. I’ve recently been diagnosed with IBS so would love some tips! xx
Over a decade ago I lost 170 lbs, and my motivations were exactly like yours! How I dreamed to wear anything I wanted and not wear men's clothes (back in the day plus size clothes was very $$). I totally understand what your saying 👍 And yessss I love the beauty city products!!
It's so refreshing to hear and discuss wanting to be thin.... because it makes you feel good! And to not feel like it's vain, or that you need to apologize for it! I love your message, and it's so nice to hear from someone that shares my motivation. It's not vain to want to feel good, healthy, comfortable in my clothes. So much is in media that we need to accept people who are comfortable in their skin at all sizes, and I'm comfortable in my skin when I'm thin, but this gets vilified as vain, or fat shaming, and it's not, it's me about me comfort zone (48 years old). So yes Lisa, yes! Love you, thank you for the inspiration!!! Erin
This is such an important video. I sign everything you say about your symptoms: the bloting, the swollen belly, gaining weight, feeling defeated,..,...just simply unbearable. Keep up speaking about these topics. It is very much needed. best rom Hamburg, Germany
I totally agree about those "feel good" days - I ran up the stairs the other day like I was 18 instead of 60. When I cut out fast-burn carbs and sugar, the thing I noticed first was the disappearance of joint pain. It happened so quickly that I wanted to doubt it! The other thing that disappeared was the "ball" in my abdomen that felt like a giant hard cyst. When I saw your video about having the same feeling - and that it went away - I started the new way of eating THAT day. Thank you Lisa. I've been in menopause since age 40; I am now 60. The weight is coming off slowly; when I get discouraged, I just think about the positive changes that have already happened. Again, thank you SO much for your honestly and clear love for your subscribers.
Now I know why you are so relatable! I'm a virgo too. Haha Thank you for the constant inspiration Lisa. My health mental and physical has always been important and this was a reminder to keep going. My question to you is are you exercising??? Because if you don't now is a good time! Your muscles and bones really start to weaken after menopause without weight training no matter how good you eat. It'll keep you curvy even without the extra 30. Keep on that health journey girl, it looks good on you!
Hi Lisa. The other day you talked about how earlier in your life you would clean your parents' house to save money to go to the mall, and John would match your earnings, and how excited you would be to have $100 to go shopping. I would like to ask how you went from then to now when, as a viewer, I have the impression that you have unlimited amounts of money to buy all the pretty things you love? Do you budget your spending? Also, what are some of the important values you try to teach your children about money, spending, and consumption? Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Love your lip combo!! I went through menopause at 49. I have really felt the effects of menopause. My weight did shift. Earlier this year I started HRT and it has *restored* by cognition and mental recall. My skin is so much better, too. Would never go back. I've been on Keto for over a year and I'm stalled but I'm considering this is where my body is meant to be post-50. I'm not really overweight. I've had nine children and I'm proud of my body. :-) And I can see a difference in my face if I lose too much. Can't wear "whatever I want" but I'm very tall. And I'm not naturally curvy. What you say about the food mental obsessions is real. We all know about that planning the next meal in our minds and I really think it is due to the blood sugar levels. Sugar/carbs is indeed a physiological/psychological "dependence" (to a certain extent). I don't miss them either, Lisa. It's notable (not in my imagination). I can eat the SF Reddi Whip in my coffee, for instance, and I feel treated. I'm glad I made the choice to go low-carb. It really does free you. Peace, Lisa! Have a great Thanksgiving.
So right. I was super thin all my life until a few years ago. Literally size 0. Never thought about food, just that I loved it. Now I'm struggling with eating whatever I want because everything doesn't let me feel well and can pack on the pounds. Trying hard to change those eating habits.
Lisa, I am also a Virgo and I completely hear you on the routine bit. If my routine is off, I find it really stressful. Your granddaddy was right about habits. Best to make good ones from the get go!
Lisa you have been so inspirational to me! I started watching you you when the pandemic started. I am 54 years old. You inspired me to start keto 10 weeks ago. I am down 23 lbs so far. It’s been fairly easy. The food I eat is delicious. I feel better, I look better. You’ve also inspired me to go blonder & I feel more glamorous like this. I tried City Beauty because of you and love it! It’s been a hard couple years for me. You are helping me get back to feeling good about myself in so many ways! Thank you, thank you!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
When you said that your IBS got worse with peri menopause I literally froze with disbelief!!! I use to have episodes here and there but since I’ve been in peri menopause I literally have full blown IBS to the point that it affects my life. You’re the first person I’ve heard that put the two together. I’m 55 and still getting sporadic heavy periods. In addition to major hair loss and weight gain. I’ve been a size 6, 128lbs my whole life and now I’m a tight size 8 pushing size 10 155 lbs and I cannot lose it...it feels awful and it’s exactly like everything else you said about feeling just awful not feeling good in my cloths etc. I want to feel good again not constantly cramping after every meal stop losing so much hair get rid of this gut etc etc etc
You certainly motivated me Lisa. I started low carb eating in late July and I weighed 116 kilos. I weighed in this morning "butt naked!" and I am down to 104 kilos. I realised a lot of this weight was water but I also feel good. I am 67 next month and have trouble with my knees and bursitis in my thighs, but I have seen a lot of Dr Berg's videos and educated myself on this way of eating. My husband is actually eating what I eat (to a point!) so thank you 😘💖
First off Girl.....You look gorgeous!! Im 53 and relate to more than you can imagine, Ive always been in great shape until I turned 49...then pow!! Mother nature was not very kind...I went from 125lbs to 160lbs in no time. I hate how I feel and like you I also enjoyed carbs and sweets..I miss my flat stomach and the clothes I used to wear and the tiredness all the time.Im still at 160lbs at 5'7 height but I need to start today to change cause nothing is working...Oh!!!! and hey thanks for the heads up on city beauty sale cause I love the city lips and have been on the fence about the crepey skin cream. Ive been wanting to know if anybody has used it and like it...Then the sky opened up and brought me Lisa to deliver my answer and a sweet deal of a sale for the 26th...thank you Lisa for all you do and you are appreciated.
Thank you Lisa for your candid talk. I am 5"6 and just under 150lbs. I also have IBS symptoms and bloating. Thank you for being that voice of reason. I have felt very unmotivated , and lethargic. I love your realness !
Lisa, thank you so much for your words. Thank you for sharing. This year in February I decided that I had to cut sugar, my weakness, from my diet. I cannot believe how much weight I lost from that simple act. I feel so much better and I look so much better.
Lisa, just loved this. You are so spot on! I began keto and IF three years ago. I tried to get my husband of 30 years onboard. Unfortunately, he didn’t join me and passed away. Since I changed my way of eating, I’ve lost almost 75 pounds and fell so much better mentally and physically. ❤️❤️❤️
I just wanted to say that I am sincerely very sorry for the loss of your dear husband. But I am glad to hear that you got in good shape and health too. Take care. Hugs.
I comb my hair, let it dry most of the way, then comb it again and twist it on top of my head into a bun (towards the front, not the top or back of my head). In the morning I have the most beautiful curls that STAY. It looks like I have gorgeous naturally curly hair.
You're weight loss journey has helped me so much. I've known what I need to do for a long time but you kick-started me into action. I've been able to lose 11 pounds so far which is more than I ever believed I could lose. My goal is 30 more and I know I can do it. I also have an addiction to sugar, ritual and routine which are all my comfort zone but I am reaping so many benefits and I feel better about myself than I have in a very long time. Thank you Lisa
I just want to feel good everyday so I watch my diet. It takes time to get into a habit of eating right and keeping up skin care twice a day. Hugs! xoxo
Hey Lisa, love the necklace and motivational talk, boy do I need it. Cant loose 1 lb since I turned 60. Love sugar, carbs and wine. Your voice is in my head everyday when choosing my foods, but it so hard to break the habit. Gonna keep at it. Im a retired designer and cant wait to see your selections and new house. Keep up the great content. You are my inspiration.
Do you eat cheese almost everyday or just a few times a week? Just curious if it upsets your stomach/body as it can with me; if I eat too much cheese/dairy...? Thanks Lisa! xoxo
Water softeners make SUCH a big difference; I always notice an improvement in my hair and skin when I stay at my sisters home. Great talk today and the blazer and jeans are very becoming on you.
Lisa you are absolutely beautiful ❤️. I am 54 and had gained about 30# in the last 7 years. Well since last year, I've lost 27#. Most of the weight loss has been in the last 5 months. I stopped eating at night, if I do get hungry late at night, I'll make some kettle corn, or a kellogg's breakfast bar. I'm probably losing 2-3 pounds a week now. The only thing about losing weight is we lose it in different areas when we are older. Thank you for your helpful videos
A friend of mine had been raving about intermittent fasting and I decided to give it a try. I’ve actually been becoming more aware of my relationship with food. Thanks for addressing issues of women over 40... I’m my mid-40s and had feared aging because no one ever talks about it except to poke fun.
I started eating nearly carnivore 3 months ago after watching your previous videos-I’ve lost 27 lbs and experienced less inflammation even during the first week. After watching Dr Berry’s videos about reversing T2 diabetes with this way of eating, I encouraged my mom to try it. She has lost 20 lbs and has lowered the insulin she needs in the AM & doesn’t have to inject any in the PM anymore! It’s amazing!! Thank you for sharing! I do still have occasional IBS issues-wondering how you deal with it?
Lisa I was so excited to hear more about your weight loss journey. Everything you said today was what I needed to hear, especially going into the holidays. I have been following a keto lifestyle for a while but continue to fall off the wagon. It is those opportunities like Halloween and oh it’s Thanksgiving - well I can’t miss out on pumpkin pie- it’s always something that comes up and somehow I feel like I’m missing out. But the reality is I missing out on being my best self. I am post menopausal as well, due to an early hysterectomy, and have struggled with my weight for the past 20 years. Currently I’m down 30 pounds from my highest weight but can’t seem to get over the next hump .Your video has given me the motivation to just get back on the wagon and stay there for myself. When you talk about your stomach situation, the I BS, the bloating, but not being able to eat salads, it’s like you’re telling my story. I’ve been to every doctor been told I have SIBO have been on a low fod map diet, I’ve done it all. Keto has definitely helped my stomach as well and that has made me feel great. But I have a lot of extra cellulite and fat around my body I have been told that eating more carnivore of a diet is a great way to lose fat. Have you felt like you’ve lost weight in a different way this time? I mean do you feel like it came off of your body in a different way than just regular dieting?
I started Low carb high good fat and lost 40 pounds. I feel so good and have become more active, kayaking, hiking. I realized I gave up buying nice stylish clothes. I’ve started replacing items in my closet. If it is old and frumpy it is gone. I want to wear things that make me feel good. I’ve been watching you and have grown my hair out and get so many compliments.
I have had IBS for decades, and I do know that carbonated drinks are a trigger. I gave that up years ago and I do not miss it. However, I cannot give up caffeine.
You described me to a "T" Lisa! I absolutely fell in love with the videos you and Tammy did together when you travelled out to see her. I will definitely look for your videos on what you eat, because I'll be 60 in 6-months and I weigh what you weighed before you started this journey of changing your "habits." I had resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be 129 lbs again, but you've inspired me to get that idea out of my head! Thank you Lisa! You are just so gorgeous and I thank you for being honest and being YOU!! All my best, Lisa
Lisa I’m a Virgo too and love my routine! You are so right about not eating the junk because you just won’t feel good. It makes it much easier to pass on the treats. I’m also on a weight loss journey and have lost 30 pounds since August. Been in menopause @1 year and actually has not been too bad 💕
“Heeeey how are you” is PERFECT! I shared this video with a few family members and friends. I think it’s super informative! You look amazing 😉 thanks for sharing!
Questions: Lisa, do you drink coffee in the morning? I think that will be the hardest thing for me to change, my half and half and sugar in my coffee. Also, stupid question , I know. Have you always gone to bed early? I have a high school teenager and I feel like I have to stay up until he goes to bed, which is later than he used to go to bed. I struggle with this, and don't get enough sleep at all. Wonder how you handled your kids at that age, since you seem very close and involved with your kids. I agree sleep would help me so much with my weight.
Thank you for this video Lisa. I love it when you just sit and talk like a girlfriend. I’m so happy for your weight loss and better health. Blessings to you and your family this Thanksgiving! Love you, Cindy 💗🌻
❤️ I can totally relate to what your saying💕 You look amazing & you motivate me so much🤗 My question would be ~ what do you enjoy drinking ( I know you drink a Diet drink once in awhile) but, what else? Also, other then chicken breast I’m not a meat eater ~ any suggestions? I have IBS myself so, I have to be careful. What keeps you full all day? I’m usually not hungry till 1-2 pm~ And do you stop eating by 6-7pm? Thank you🤗
Amen! I started the carnivore/keto lifestyle along with intermittent fasting over a year ago due to Hashimoto diagnosis. I turned 50 this year and I feel better now than I have in the last 6 years! When I divert from what I know works well for my body, it usually takes a few days to get over..😣 Emotional eating is a real thing and holidays are tough. Replace those rewards is key 🔑! I reward myself with a massage vs food.
I know that you mentioned previously that you were at your goal weight of 125 give or take. Now that you are at your goal weight, what are you going to do different to maintain your weight rather than continue to lose especially since you are not hungry?
In the beginning we miss the nostalgia of food and food related memories and holidays. I find as I press forward that that has faded and new things have replaced that old stuff I thought made me happy.
There were a few questions about the title; 40 and over entails anyone who is over 40, period. we know she's 50, she's always clear abou her age, the title is more inclusive. As, weight can be harder for some to mange after 40.
It’s not easy to do consistently, but I remind myself of this: “nothing tastes as good as feeling fit feels”! For me, consistently working out is key, too, it works (for me!)! 😊 You look gorgeous! ☺️
Lisa congrats on the commitment made to yourself and the positive journey results! Just want to mention it almost felt you were narrating my own journey. Yes, you are making sense, total sense! We tend to “give into” the things that bring you comfort! Creatures of habit! And finally cannot believe that just by eating healthier and no exercise one can lose 30+pounds, and there and it feels good not to crave the sugar or carbs, you tube helps when you need a motivation boost as you said! Blessings! Keep up the good work stay safe and strong 💪 👌😊
You are so inspirational Lisa. I have a lot of weight to lose and it feels like it will never happen...but I see what you have achieved, and I am 20 years younger than you, I have no excuse...if you can do this, so can I! Thanks for sharing all these weight loss videos. They are so encouraging x
THANK YOU for reminding me about everything! I lost weight twice in the last 10 years- and I ABSOLUTELY felt exactly like you said-energy, sleep-feeling fabulous"-I even said nothing taste as good as feeling good!!!!!" Time to get my life back!!! Tell me one thing you eat on the run if you are out of the house and need to eat? I keep a foil pack of tune fish in my purse and that is getting very old-not satisfying !!!!!!! XOXOXOXO
Oh Lisa, I wish I had the strength but I'm so very addicted to sugar and carbs. I hate myself for it but I just cannot seem to stop. 😣 I used to be skinny up into my forties!! Never ever thought that I would be overweight. but here I am just a few years later 40 lbs heavier.
You inspired me to make changes. I gave up sodas which I was addicted to. I made changes, cheated, fell off the wagon, got back on. We are having gumbo for thanksgiving & I'll have brown rice with it. Little changes...no hurry, little tiny tries. I love these sit & talk videos.
I have tears in my eyes because I’ve got to cut the fat. I feel so defeated because I’ve been so successful in the past...I’m 57 and feel so old and frumpy. I know I’m not alone but I know there is hope. Thank you Lisa for the hope.
If I can do keto and IF anyone can. I was a sugar carb addict. I followed Dr Berg on RUclips and lost almost 75 pounds. Didn’t spend money on any gimmicks or products just followed his way of keto/IF. He has thousands of videos. Educate yourself and get started in a new life.

@@wizkidsvideos I agree with them below, check out dr bergs videos on keto. I have lost 15 lbs in 2 months and I feel so much better! Understand how sugar and carbs affect your body.
Lisa I am 52 years old and I've lost 30 pounds since September. ALL because of you!!
This approach of replacing the feeling with something good is most important in fighting addiction. SO TRUE!
I’ve lost my first born son 6 years ago on Thanksgiving. I no longer enjoy the holidays. It hurts my heart knowing so many of you have this pain. Praying for y’all 💛♥️
I don't know if it's our age (I just turned 50 two days ago), but I can relate to so many things you are talking about.. On July 4th I started low carb, lost 32 pounds so far, feeling better than ever. ❤️💕

Hi Lisa...I’ve been on a similar journey. I’m 47...and I have a pumpkin pie hack! Little bit of canned pumpkin and a little bit of plain Greek yogurt- no sugar...only about 5 carbs per serving. Then a few drops of liquid stevia....and a bunch of pumpkin pie spice. I’ve been eating it almost ever day...it is so yummy. Thanks for all you do. Love watching your channel. ❤️
Yummy! Sounds like a wonderful treat, I have all the ingredients and will give it try tomorrow, thanks 😊
I would love a sample (ideas) on what you eat in a day or week. Love your videos! Always packed with info.
Lisa, you are so motivating! You look beautiful. I just turned 44 a few days ago and I’ve been feeling so frumpy. I’ve got to lose weight! I’m going to listen to this
video everyday to help keep me on track. Thank you for sharing and always being so kind.
I REALLY NEEDED THIS VIDEO, LISA!!! Hoping you keep doing this kind of content. Motivation is EVERYTHING when trying to lose weight. Would love a video on what to do when you lose sight of your motivation or start making excuses. I'm the queen of excuses!!😊❤❤❤
everything you said about losing weight was so on point. You deserve wayyyy more subscribers...I am your fan..
Lisa- You and Dr Berg helped me get back on track and attain my weight loss goal. Omad keto is not easy at first but keeps me at my goal weight. Thank you for your candid talks ❤️😊
The beginning of your video mirrored me exactly. I just turned 54 and had terrible IBS issues. I ate two big salads almost everyday along with more veggies at dinner. I never EVER EVER put those two things together until I heard you mention it in a previous video. My issues also started in perimenopause but I thought the loose stools were from stress or sometimes anxiety. I did keto for one year over 3 years ago and only lost a little in the first 4 months. I eventually gave up. There was not the info we have now. Ha I started following Dr Berry when he had about 500 followers as he was just beginning his keto journey. After watching your videos and doing my own new research I started my keto journey again 11 weeks ago. I’ve lost 15lbs and I forgot how great I would feel EVERY SINGLE DAY. I’m sleeping better and my bathroom trips are perfectly normal. I am so happy. I’m not a big fan of Dr Berg...as some of his info is not correct, but I love Dr Eric Westman ~ Adapt Your Life and Dr Ben Bickman. These two doctors, and a little nudge from you, have changed my health trajectory moving forward. My body just doesn’t process carbs well and this will be a lifelong struggle for me. Why We Get Sick by Ben Bickman is fantastic. He is a metabolic doctor and explains why this really is the best way to eat. Most people will be fine with higher than keto amounts but we have to heal the insulin resistance. I had a complete hysterectomy 6 months ago so I’m finally at 54 in menopause and I am so happy to be losing weight. 💖 Thank you Lisa 😘
It’s so amazing and uplifting to see so many fellow women my age-ish (50, too) on this journey and benefiting 💕
I totally relate to everything you said. I lost 30 pounds at age 50 and loved being able to wear anything and felt so good! Then I got lazy again and am now approaching 60 in January and need to get back on track! Gained so much weight in the past few yrs eating anything and everything. I hate having my picture taken or looking in the mirror. My husband is a great cook and naturally thin so it's a struggle for me to not eat everything and now living in Florida everywhere we like to go at the beach restaurants is fried with french fries. I am definitely a carb person and crave bread and pasta and potatoes etc. Not good. And love my wine. I'm not a big dessert person luckily. Need to find what works to eat and feel satisfied and fits into our life. But definitely need to find myself again. I have a closet full of clothes that don't fit! Enjoy your honesty and videos. Thank you.
I’ve lost 12 lbs so far thanks to YOU, Lisa..being my inspiration. IF, Keto, and that Align probiotic at night. And yes!! I know now how it feels to feel good (no stomach aches)
@stephanie grace peterson it’s a little expensive (i find coupons) but it is worth a try! I get the align with melatonin .. helps me fall asleep
Lisa something you said in one of your keto videos really clicked with me. You said after 40 you need to make a drastic change to see results bc things don’t work like they do in your 20s or 30s. You said it again here about being ready for a big change. thank you for putting it in a way that made sense to me. I’m down 20lbs since the end of Aug and just feel good. No more headaches or low back pain. Amazing sleep and sharp mental alertness is awesome. I have major hair loss but just added collagen to help.
Thank you for being so inspiring! I’m now 21 pounds since September!
That is AMAZING!! I know you feel so good!! Thank you for telling me!! ❤️ Lisa
I post videos and I’m over 50. I have an auto immune disease and put on a lot of weight from medication. I also have trouble with certain joints that makes things very hard for me but, eating keto and now I’m using the app Peloton (and no, I don’t have the bike for the treadmill at this time and I still use) has been wonderful.
Lisa I have some questions for you. 1. How much money do you think you have saved not eating out? 2. What differences have you noticed in your skin, do you think your new eating habits are anti aging? 3.Have you started any exercise regime?
I wanted to tell you THANK YOU!!! I started the carnivore diet & it's awesome!! I'm over 40 & couldn't lose weight. I've finally found something that works & I feel awesome. Thank you so much 💓💗
This is actually super helpful! I usually shy away from anything talking weight loss because it makes me self sabotage sometimes. I appreciated so many points you made here! High five! 🤩
Lisa please post what you eat daily in a week. I discovered you in mid august and immediately the next day started keto cold turkey, lol I was so good and strict on it but only lost 2 lbs in 2 months, was very disappointed with that but I did feel soooo much better. Pls help with a menu
I’m so happy for you Lisa! I’ve been watching you for many years now and this is the happiest I’ve seen you. You look just AMAZING 💋😘
Due too your IBS, I know that you had cut out a lot of foods that you knew you were reacting to. What do you eat now? What things do you find agree best with you. I’ve recently been diagnosed with IBS so would love some tips! xx
Can you give some examples of what you'll be eating for Thanksgiving dinner? Love love love your videos!!!!!
Omg I am 45 and so needed to hear this. Thank you so much!
You are looking great Lisa. What is even more gratifying, is seeing the "joy" on your face. Hugs!
Over a decade ago I lost 170 lbs, and my motivations were exactly like yours! How I dreamed to wear anything I wanted and not wear men's clothes (back in the day plus size clothes was very $$). I totally understand what your saying 👍 And yessss I love the beauty city products!!
It's so refreshing to hear and discuss wanting to be thin.... because it makes you feel good! And to not feel like it's vain, or that you need to apologize for it! I love your message, and it's so nice to hear from someone that shares my motivation. It's not vain to want to feel good, healthy, comfortable in my clothes. So much is in media that we need to accept people who are comfortable in their skin at all sizes, and I'm comfortable in my skin when I'm thin, but this gets vilified as vain, or fat shaming, and it's not, it's me about me comfort zone (48 years old). So yes Lisa, yes! Love you, thank you for the inspiration!!! Erin
Please post a weekly menu with pics.
You are telling my story. I am insulin resistant and for so long just gave up. I am now down 12 pounds and motivated to loose more.
This is such an important video. I sign everything you say about your symptoms: the bloting, the swollen belly, gaining weight, feeling defeated,..,...just simply unbearable. Keep up speaking about these topics. It is very much needed. best rom Hamburg, Germany
I totally agree about those "feel good" days - I ran up the stairs the other day like I was 18 instead of 60. When I cut out fast-burn carbs and sugar, the thing I noticed first was the disappearance of joint pain. It happened so quickly that I wanted to doubt it! The other thing that disappeared was the "ball" in my abdomen that felt like a giant hard cyst. When I saw your video about having the same feeling - and that it went away - I started the new way of eating THAT day. Thank you Lisa. I've been in menopause since age 40; I am now 60. The weight is coming off slowly; when I get discouraged, I just think about the positive changes that have already happened. Again, thank you SO much for your honestly and clear love for your subscribers.
Now I know why you are so relatable! I'm a virgo too. Haha Thank you for the constant inspiration Lisa. My health mental and physical has always been important and this was a reminder to keep going. My question to you is are you exercising??? Because if you don't now is a good time! Your muscles and bones really start to weaken after menopause without weight training no matter how good you eat. It'll keep you curvy even without the extra 30. Keep on that health journey girl, it looks good on you!
Hi Lisa. The other day you talked about how earlier in your life you would clean your parents' house to save money to go to the mall, and John would match your earnings, and how excited you would be to have $100 to go shopping. I would like to ask how you went from then to now when, as a viewer, I have the impression that you have unlimited amounts of money to buy all the pretty things you love? Do you budget your spending? Also, what are some of the important values you try to teach your children about money, spending, and consumption? Thank you for sharing your ideas.
I hope that you know how much you inspire and motivate others. This was a great start to my day💗
Love your lip combo!! I went through menopause at 49. I have really felt the effects of menopause. My weight did shift. Earlier this year I started HRT and it has *restored* by cognition and mental recall. My skin is so much better, too. Would never go back. I've been on Keto for over a year and I'm stalled but I'm considering this is where my body is meant to be post-50. I'm not really overweight. I've had nine children and I'm proud of my body. :-) And I can see a difference in my face if I lose too much. Can't wear "whatever I want" but I'm very tall. And I'm not naturally curvy. What you say about the food mental obsessions is real. We all know about that planning the next meal in our minds and I really think it is due to the blood sugar levels. Sugar/carbs is indeed a physiological/psychological "dependence" (to a certain extent). I don't miss them either, Lisa. It's notable (not in my imagination). I can eat the SF Reddi Whip in my coffee, for instance, and I feel treated. I'm glad I made the choice to go low-carb. It really does free you. Peace, Lisa! Have a great Thanksgiving.
You look amazing Lisa! I’m so proud of you!! You’re an inspiration!
You seem so happy compared to last week Lisa! Glad things are better and less stressful for you! 🥰🥰🥰
So right. I was super thin all my life until a few years ago. Literally size 0. Never thought about food, just that I loved it. Now I'm struggling with eating whatever I want because everything doesn't let me feel well and can pack on the pounds. Trying hard to change those eating habits.
Lisa, I am also a Virgo and I completely hear you on the routine bit. If my routine is off, I find it really stressful. Your granddaddy was right about habits. Best to make good ones from the get go!
Lisa you have been so inspirational to me! I started watching you you when the pandemic started. I am 54 years old. You inspired me to start keto 10 weeks ago. I am down 23 lbs so far. It’s been fairly easy. The food I eat is delicious. I feel better, I look better.
You’ve also inspired me to go blonder & I feel more glamorous like this. I tried City Beauty because of you and love it!
It’s been a hard couple years for me. You are helping me get back to feeling good about myself in so many ways! Thank you, thank you!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
When you said that your IBS got worse with peri menopause I literally froze with disbelief!!! I use to have episodes here and there but since I’ve been in peri menopause I literally have full blown IBS to the point that it affects my life. You’re the first person I’ve heard that put the two together. I’m 55 and still getting sporadic heavy periods. In addition to major hair loss and weight gain. I’ve been a size 6, 128lbs my whole life and now I’m a tight size 8 pushing size 10 155 lbs and I cannot lose it...it feels awful and it’s exactly like everything else you said about feeling just awful not feeling good in my cloths etc. I want to feel good again not constantly cramping after every meal stop losing so much hair get rid of this gut etc etc etc
You certainly motivated me Lisa. I started low carb eating in late July and I weighed 116 kilos.
I weighed in this morning "butt naked!" and I am down to 104 kilos. I realised a lot of this weight was water but I also feel good. I am 67 next month and have trouble with my knees and bursitis in my thighs, but I have seen a lot of Dr Berg's videos and educated myself on this way of eating. My husband is actually eating what I eat (to a point!) so thank you 😘💖
First off Girl.....You look gorgeous!! Im 53 and relate to more than you can imagine, Ive always been in great shape until I turned 49...then pow!! Mother nature was not very kind...I went from 125lbs to 160lbs in no time. I hate how I feel and like you I also enjoyed carbs and sweets..I miss my flat stomach and the clothes I used to wear and the tiredness all the time.Im still at 160lbs at 5'7 height but I need to start today to change cause nothing is working...Oh!!!! and hey thanks for the heads up on city beauty sale cause I love the city lips and have been on the fence about the crepey skin cream. Ive been wanting to know if anybody has used it and like it...Then the sky opened up and brought me Lisa to deliver my answer and a sweet deal of a sale for the 26th...thank you Lisa for all you do and you are appreciated.
Thank you Lisa for your candid talk. I am 5"6 and just under 150lbs. I also have IBS symptoms and bloating. Thank you for being that voice of reason. I have felt very unmotivated , and lethargic. I love your realness !
Lisa, thank you so much for your words. Thank you for sharing. This year in February I decided that I had to cut sugar, my weakness, from my diet. I cannot believe how much weight I lost from that simple act. I feel so much better and I look so much better.
Yay! Another Lisa video!💖💟
Thanks to you I've lost 8 lbs.and feel so much better following your suggestions! Big hug🙂
Lisa, just loved this. You are so spot on! I began keto and IF three years ago. I tried to get my husband of 30 years onboard. Unfortunately, he didn’t join me and passed away. Since I changed my way of eating, I’ve lost almost 75 pounds and fell so much better mentally and physically. ❤️❤️❤️
I just wanted to say that I am sincerely very sorry for the loss of your dear husband. But I am glad to hear that you got in good shape and health too. Take care. Hugs.
I got so happy when you talked about finding your 80s blazer with shoulder pads, lol. Right there with ya, girl!!
Lisa you are so awesome!! I really don’t have any problem with weight but I still watched your video because I enjoy listening to you!!
Thank you so much for this!! I needed to hear this! I was using eating as a way to make myself feel better. That needs to change!
I comb my hair, let it dry most of the way, then comb it again and twist it on top of my head into a bun (towards the front, not the top or back of my head).
In the morning I have the most beautiful curls that STAY. It looks like I have gorgeous naturally curly hair.
You're weight loss journey has helped me so much. I've known what I need to do for a long time but you kick-started me into action. I've been able to lose 11 pounds so far which is more than I ever believed I could lose. My goal is 30 more and I know I can do it. I also have an addiction to sugar, ritual and routine which are all my comfort zone but I am reaping so many benefits and I feel better about myself than I have in a very long time. Thank you Lisa
I just want to feel good everyday so I watch my diet. It takes time to get into a habit of eating right and keeping up skin care twice a day. Hugs! xoxo
Hey Lisa, love the necklace and motivational talk, boy do I need it. Cant loose 1 lb since I turned 60. Love sugar, carbs and wine. Your voice is in my head everyday when choosing my foods, but it so hard to break the habit. Gonna keep at it. Im a retired designer and cant wait to see your selections and new house. Keep up the great content. You are my inspiration.
Do you eat cheese almost everyday or just a few times a week? Just curious if it upsets your stomach/body as it can with me; if I eat too much cheese/dairy...? Thanks Lisa! xoxo
Water softeners make SUCH a big difference; I always notice an improvement in my hair and skin when I stay at my sisters home. Great talk today and the blazer and jeans are very becoming on you.
Lisa you are absolutely beautiful ❤️. I am 54 and had gained about 30# in the last 7 years. Well since last year, I've lost 27#. Most of the weight loss has been in the last 5 months. I stopped eating at night, if I do get hungry late at night, I'll make some kettle corn, or a kellogg's breakfast bar. I'm probably losing 2-3 pounds a week now. The only thing about losing weight is we lose it in different areas when we are older. Thank you for your helpful videos
This is so genuine and relatable. You hit the nail on the head... I need to find new motivation! Something to think about. ~Susanne 😘🧡🍂🍂
Thank you Lisa! I have been somewhat motivated to loose weight and this video will help me to stay on track even through the holidays.
You are such an inspiration ~ thanks so much Lisa for the motivation 🌺
Thanks for that amazing discount at City Beauty. I've ordered enough for a year as I love it so much. X.
A friend of mine had been raving about intermittent fasting and I decided to give it a try. I’ve actually been becoming more aware of my relationship with food. Thanks for addressing issues of women over 40... I’m my mid-40s and had feared aging because no one ever talks about it except to poke fun.
Do you drink coffee. I switch to decaf, but wondering how you feel about coffee
Caffeine is actually a fat burner.
I started eating nearly carnivore 3 months ago after watching your previous videos-I’ve lost 27 lbs and experienced less inflammation even during the first week. After watching Dr Berry’s videos about reversing T2 diabetes with this way of eating, I encouraged my mom to try it. She has lost 20 lbs and has lowered the insulin she needs in the AM & doesn’t have to inject any in the PM anymore! It’s amazing!! Thank you for sharing! I do still have occasional IBS issues-wondering how you deal with it?
Lisa I was so excited to hear more about your weight loss journey. Everything you said today was what I needed to hear, especially going into the holidays. I have been following a keto lifestyle for a while but continue to fall off the wagon. It is those opportunities like Halloween and oh it’s Thanksgiving - well I can’t miss out on pumpkin pie- it’s always something that comes up and somehow I feel like I’m missing out. But the reality is I missing out on being my best self. I am post menopausal as well, due to an early hysterectomy, and have struggled with my weight for the past 20 years. Currently I’m down 30 pounds from my highest weight but can’t seem to get over the next hump .Your video has given me the motivation to just get back on the wagon and stay there for myself.
When you talk about your stomach situation, the I BS, the bloating, but not being able to eat salads, it’s like you’re telling my story. I’ve been to every doctor been told I have SIBO have been on a low fod map diet, I’ve done it all. Keto has definitely helped my stomach as well and that has made me feel great. But I have a lot of extra cellulite and fat around my body I have been told that eating more carnivore of a diet is a great way to lose fat. Have you felt like you’ve lost weight in a different way this time? I mean do you feel like it came off of your body in a different way than just regular dieting?
Yay! I can’t believe you found your blazer! I love stuff like that. I want to ride horses again like I did when I was not overweight. I keep trying.
On Amazon, you can get the Aqua Bliss High Output Shower Filter. It attached to your shower head to filter out all the bad stuff in the water.
I started Low carb high good fat and lost 40 pounds. I feel so good and have become more active, kayaking, hiking. I realized I gave up buying nice stylish clothes. I’ve started replacing items in my closet. If it is old and frumpy it is gone. I want to wear things that make me feel good. I’ve been watching you and have grown my hair out and get so many compliments.
I have had IBS for decades, and I do know that carbonated drinks are a trigger. I gave that up years ago and I do not miss it. However, I cannot give up caffeine.
You described me to a "T" Lisa! I absolutely fell in love with the videos you and Tammy did together when you travelled out to see her. I will definitely look for your videos on what you eat, because I'll be 60 in 6-months and I weigh what you weighed before you started this journey of changing your "habits." I had resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be 129 lbs again, but you've inspired me to get that idea out of my head! Thank you Lisa! You are just so gorgeous and I thank you for being honest and being YOU!! All my best, Lisa
Lisa I’m a Virgo too and love my routine! You are so right about not eating the junk because you just won’t feel good. It makes it much easier to pass on the treats. I’m also on a weight loss journey and have lost 30 pounds since August. Been in menopause @1 year and actually has not been too bad 💕
“Heeeey how are you” is PERFECT! I shared this video with a few family members and friends. I think it’s super informative! You look amazing 😉 thanks for sharing!
Questions: Lisa, do you drink coffee in the morning? I think that will be the hardest thing for me to change, my half and half and sugar in my coffee. Also, stupid question , I know. Have you always gone to bed early? I have a high school teenager and I feel like I have to stay up until he goes to bed, which is later than he used to go to bed. I struggle with this, and don't get enough sleep at all. Wonder how you handled your kids at that age, since you seem very close and involved with your kids. I agree sleep would help me so much with my weight.
Hi Lisa I’m wondering why you quit eating salads? Was that affecting your IBS? I remember you eating one daily.
Thank you for this video Lisa. I love it when you just sit and talk like a girlfriend. I’m so happy for your weight loss and better health. Blessings to you and your family this Thanksgiving! Love you, Cindy 💗🌻
Hello Lisa, Happy Monday! I am so happy to see you. Thank you so much for your video!! 💖
❤️ I can totally relate to what your saying💕
You look amazing & you motivate me so much🤗
My question would be ~ what do you enjoy drinking ( I know you drink a Diet drink once in awhile) but, what else? Also, other then chicken breast I’m not a meat eater ~ any suggestions?
I have IBS myself so, I have to be careful. What keeps you full all day? I’m usually not hungry till 1-2 pm~ And do you stop eating by 6-7pm?
Thank you🤗
So glad you found the Petty Woman jacket! Looks superb 👌
Amen! I started the carnivore/keto lifestyle along with intermittent fasting over a year ago due to Hashimoto diagnosis. I turned 50 this year and I feel better now than I have in the last 6 years! When I divert from what I know works well for my body, it usually takes a few days to get over..😣
Emotional eating is a real thing and holidays are tough.
Replace those rewards is key 🔑!
I reward myself with a massage vs food.
I know that you mentioned previously that you were at your goal weight of 125 give or take. Now that you are at your goal weight, what are you going to do different to maintain your weight rather than continue to lose especially since you are not hungry?
In the beginning we miss the nostalgia of food and food related memories and holidays. I find as I press forward that that has faded and new things have replaced that old stuff I thought made me happy.
You are a great motivator! I’ve made so much progress with your encouragement and support
There were a few questions about the title; 40 and over entails anyone who is over 40, period. we know she's 50, she's always clear abou her age, the title is more inclusive. As, weight can be harder for some to mange after 40.
This is a great video. It’s hard to always be motivated. I always keep trying though. I will never give up😊
Please start a keto weight loss group / Facebook page for those of us who follow you.
It’s not easy to do consistently, but I remind myself of this: “nothing tastes as good as feeling fit feels”! For me, consistently working out is key, too, it works (for me!)! 😊
You look gorgeous! ☺️
Lisa congrats on the commitment made to yourself and the positive journey results! Just want to mention it almost felt you were narrating my own journey. Yes, you are making sense, total sense! We tend to “give into” the things that bring you comfort! Creatures of habit! And finally cannot believe that just by eating healthier and no exercise one can lose 30+pounds, and there and it feels good not to crave the sugar or carbs, you tube helps when you need a motivation boost as you said! Blessings! Keep up the good work stay safe and strong 💪 👌😊
The only question I have is vitamins made a huge difference for me, do you take any natural supplements?
Awesome vlog! Pain and bloating is my life! You are so inspiring Lisa❤️
You are so inspirational Lisa. I have a lot of weight to lose and it feels like it will never happen...but I see what you have achieved, and I am 20 years younger than you, I have no excuse...if you can do this, so can I! Thanks for sharing all these weight loss videos. They are so encouraging x
congrats lisa!! you're looking amazing. which video of yours do you recommend watching for understanding the exact dietary changes you made? thanks :)
THANK YOU for reminding me about everything! I lost weight twice in the last 10 years- and I ABSOLUTELY felt exactly like you said-energy, sleep-feeling fabulous"-I even said nothing taste as good as feeling good!!!!!" Time to get my life back!!! Tell me one thing you eat on the run if you are out of the house and need to eat? I keep a foil pack of tune fish in my purse and that is getting very old-not satisfying !!!!!!! XOXOXOXO
Oh Lisa, I wish I had the strength but I'm so very addicted to sugar and carbs. I hate myself for it but I just cannot seem to stop. 😣 I used to be skinny up into my forties!! Never ever thought that I would be overweight. but here I am just a few years later 40 lbs heavier.
Well can you just rent a water softener from Culligan while you're renting?
What exercises helped with your weight loss?? Thank you for sharing!!
You inspired me to make changes. I gave up sodas which I was addicted to. I made changes, cheated, fell off the wagon, got back on. We are having gumbo for thanksgiving & I'll have brown rice with it. Little changes...no hurry, little tiny tries. I love these sit & talk videos.
The jacket -outfit looks amazing . I think the jacket is classy, loved your story. Thanks for sharing.
