i'm 54 . i weigh 121 lbs and i'm 5' 4 " i am post menauposal. my cortisol levels were high. i couldnt get rid of my lower belly fat. i was doing cardio in between sets during weight training/resistance training. i stopped that . i did some research and realized that i was causing my body to be in fight or flight response...so my body was keeping this extra fat because of this. i got a watch that showed me my heart rate and decided to allow my heart rate to get back down before starting a new set. . when i implement this within weeks, my lower belly fat disappeared ... it wasnt magic ! it was assessing my body and finding out what i needed to adjust to get there. menapause really changed how i had to be/ train. now i can see my stretch marks again... (after having two kids in my younger years) sounds crazy but this makes me so happy! i now have a flat tummy again :)
@@TomG1991 Dr. Sten Eckberg talks about this -- you might search for his videos on cortisol, or things like "how hard should you train". (Don't mean to advertise another YT channel on this one, which I also really like and respect, but just wanted to contribute some answer(s) to your question...)
Sounds like HIIT (High intensity interval training)? At the same time, women are supposed to have some post meno. belly fat (can be on hips too). It's good for us! Recent research suggests we produce needed estrogen that way. Obviously we don't need 'excessive' fat. Healthy fitness regime / lots of veggies are essential for healthy aging. I do like that you are working on an individual program - we are all different . Research is on ZOE podcast series of worlds top researchers discussing their most current findings.
I am a 56 year old women and I found you just in time. I am following a high protein moderate fat and low carb diet as well as regular exercise of cardio/weight training for 12 weeks. My loss has been very slow at about ,75 pounds per week. I have felt very discouraged by the scales but seeing changes in the appearance of my body. I will be watching your vids!
Honestly that is consistent and fabulous progress. That weight loss sounds like you aren't trying to out exercise or out diet time and truly lose fat not muscle! If you are starting or going through menopause, that's even more reason to focus on slow weight loss to really keep that lean muscle!
thank you for the best tipp to change at first the easy things, that really helped. What helped me a lot: changing food habits while being on holiday in a campervan. There is no easy walk to the fridge for a pizza f.ex. ;-)) Now i am used to lots of veggies, fruits, eggs and yogurt etc. Lost weight and gained muscles because of training with a stretching bands and body weight stuff.
Good way to increase breakfast protein is to add cottage cheese to scrambled eggs or omelets. Whisk cottage cheese until it breaks up & add it to your eggs already whipped. Pour into a heated pan and cook either your normal way.
This has made it work for me. My ultimate goal is to go to a group gym/fitness place. This is my people. But I know I had mental and reality roadblocks (RRMS). Reviewing your videos- I made my ultimate goal, starting points, and hit points (time and goal success). THIS, has made me (and others) witness progress. And I have better confidence on what success is. Success is moving forward even if the last try wasn’t what I expected. Success is allowing myself to feel proud on my progress no matter how much further the journey to initial goal completion is. But my ultimate goal is to be mobile for life. Cheers Cori!
Yes. These are honestly even more key. Because you have to reassess where your body is now as the hormonal changes have a huge impact. What used to work often no longer does. And protein and strength work are more essential than ever before! Some more tips for you as well if you are in menopause - redefiningstrength.com/managing-menopause-hormones-nutrition-workouts-and-more?sl=youtubecomment
Cori - question. Would you rather go hungry / a little hungry at night, or end the night with a filling protein based dinner such as casein protein? And, if we want to "go hungry" so as to get that slight bump in fat-loss overnight, how early would you have your "dinner" before hitting the bed so as to initiate the hunger phase?
I'm 60, lifting 3x week for 8 weeks now, walk 8K daily, eat betw 90-100g good whole protein daily, 3 meals a day, no snacking or eating after 7, low sugar, low carb (mainly veg and fruit) super healthy eater, (and one homemade pizza a week cuz a girl's gotta live) and I can't lose a pound. I still have 32% fat. Two years ago I ate super low cal and lost about 25 pound, but put 7 back on. While it's frustrating to not lose those 7 pounds again, I don't want to risk losing muscle. But it's just exhausting counting every calorie to get the deficit and have it not work. At this point, maybe I just learn to live with it? I'm healthy, strong and getting stronger - just not as lean in body recomp as I'd hoped.
I find often it is that we don't ever learn to transition to maintaining that is part of the problem. It holds us back from continuing to build as we do need that "break" even. You can't stay in a deficit forever and eating too little for too long without cycling macros can lead to metabolic adaptations. So you may need to adjust your macros and even eat more to fuel that muscle growth as you adjust your training. Here's more on achieving that body recomp to lose body fat as you retain or even gain muscle - redefiningstrength.com/how-to-lose-fat-and-gain-muscle-at-the-same-time-step-by-step?sl=youtubecomment
Thank you! I always find a way with that around my current lifestyle. I sleep in earlier in general now and do a minimum of 30 mins of exercise. Usually I get that done in the morning for a fresh start of the day. If I am feeling less energetic, I go with low impact exercises. Some movement is better than nothing, in my opinion. I also go for a minimum 10,000 steps a day. Im not perfect with my diet, but I also am closer to being low carb or Mediterranean
Thanks! So body part splits will be those schedules where it is shoulders and arms, chest, back, legs....and each body part is really done once a week.
Honestly, the hardest for me is connecting macros and portions, because to get the protein minimum even i need to eat quite a lot and if i do i don't really have time to exercise and it just feels like i'm eating all day 😢
Totally get it. It's a new approach and the way you've looked at portions in the past needs to change. And A. You don't need to eat more to get your protein necessarily, HOWEVER...B. You may need to eat more if you're not eating enough and that is actually holding you back. But if you feel your calories are correct currently, see what swaps you can make for a carb or fat source and instead use a protein. That alone can add up!
If one has a lot of fat pounds to lose, would you suggest they focus on dietary changes to get some of that weight off before adding weight training? I’ve got 70 lbs to lose
Small changes that feel the easiest to make are great to build that momentum. So if that is starting with movement, great. If it is starting with diet, great! But the more you can do a little of each at once, often the better you feel. So intentionally waiting to start training, no.
I honestly believe trainers would make you more consistent. The issue is finding one that won't charge you hundreds per month for 2 sessions with no meal plan.
Talk to a friend. Make a workout partner. discuss your goals and do it together. You will hold each other accountable. This was the only way I could get up at 5:45 a.m. each morning knowing that someone was waiting for me to pick them up
I am a 15 y old girl... One year before i found out i had chondropathy (orthopedic problem with my both knees) ... This orthopedic problem got my mental health really bad...

I'd highly recommend you do talk with your parents about getting a coach. I only mention that because they can help you make sure you're fueling to feel your best and building that healthy relationship with food and your strong amazing body. Also to check your form on exercises so you don't end up with aches and pains that will add up more and more as you get older. I LOVE that you are seeking to learn. Get that coach and mentor to truly guide you so you can ask questions and have that perspective and make sure you are eating enough. You want to fuel that strength at 15! :-)

Those macros really make the difference. And it isn't just eating healthy foods - it's about the portions of our proteins, carbs and fats truly matching what we need even as our body, needs and goals shift. Great job crushing those workouts! But we can't out exercise our diet and those changes, and the consistency required, takes time. Here are some tips to help - redefiningstrength.com/15-fat-loss-tips-that-changed-my-life?sl=youtubecomment
Depends on how they're cycling macros and their training. And even the deficit you create. Because a more extreme deficit has to be shorter than a longer one and how you cycle other intensity in your training can even impact the deficit you're in. But if you see results plateau and you've been in a deficit for awhile, you may want to consider even a diet break for just 7-14 days.
Thank you for keeping it brief. I can't stand those 20+ minute long videos where they can summarize it in just a few bullet points.
I talk fast too often which helps keep it short

How long would you advise someone to maintain a deficit before returning to maintenance?
Depends on how they're cycling macros and their training. And even the deficit you create. Because a more extreme deficit has to be shorter than a longer one and how you cycle other intensity in your training can even impact the deficit you're in. But if you see results plateau and you've been in a deficit for awhile, you may want to consider even a diet break for just 7-14 days.
