    Strength training, walking outside, high protein, no snacking, eat dinner early and nothing else until the morning, deep sleep, no alcohol, no processed food, no seed oils,BHRT, no fat in the middle and weight stable.

    I find it really hard to break the mindset that we need to exercise more or harder. Scaling back on exercise to lose belly fat has been difficult to wrap my head around. Of course "lazy me" loves the idea, but "disciplined me" keeps whispering that it's a lie. Don't believe it. One thing I've learned in my 50s is everything changes and I have to change how I do everything, so it really does make sense. I appreciate your videos and great information!

    • @Flipping50TV
      @Flipping50TV  8 месяцев назад

      Best way to know is to test it! Even for 3 or 7 days. You'll already have a sense of it. We're in day 3 of a 12-day challenge right now .. and women usually report by day 4 they are already sleeping better and have more energy. Comments today were "I feel great" "This feels so good all day"

    ACV I use periodically~ after today will use it more consistently! I meditate at least 40 min a day~ upto 2 hrs~ and getting out in nature are ways I reduce stress. Creative outlets like painting, writing, cooking also reduce stress. I'm curious about the desk bike & transforming my stationary beach rider to one! Great suggestion!

  • @ginny5092
    @ginny5092 8 месяцев назад +3

    I'm guessing any cardio movement after a meal is good if we don't have the option of going outside? Aerobics or rebounder? Also, what about ACV gummies or pills? Don't think I can do the drink, lol.

    • @Flipping50TV
      @Flipping50TV  8 месяцев назад +2

      Yes- move any way you like. You're equivalent of "walking" ! Thanks for asking this! Pills do get it into the gut. It may not help quite as much because of the sour effect on helping create gastric juices but it's very well proven to support similarly!

    Is there a way to use continuous glucose monitoring without a device on your arm? It's so expensive. Someone else suggested this because of all the meno weight and it being difficult to lose.

    • @Flipping50TV
      @Flipping50TV  13 дней назад

      I definitely recommend it. Alternatively you can purchase the old fashioned glucose monitor and test strips and finger prick. Much more affordable but not real time as easily

      And they have to be.. there are so few high protein plant sources. It does get confusing and if you can make it work and keep muscle and bone density, great. Track them and monitor how you're doing!

    Strength training and moving your body are fantastic, as is being mindful of stress and hormone levels such as insulin and cortisol. These are all important for health, especially in menopause.
    For the reduction of belly fat, I would have thought that our dietary habits are more impactful than anything else though. You can't outrun a bad diet, as the saying goes.
    Anecdotes aren't relevant for others but keeping an eye on one's own experiences is vital. Personally, the ONLY impact on my own belly fat is food consumption - eating excessive calories increases belly fat and restricting calories reduces belly fat. Stress (unless it leads to eating more) does not increase my belly fat at all. 🤔

    • @sl4983
      @sl4983 8 месяцев назад +3

      What affects me is less than optimal sleep. That's what increases the appetite in the first place.

    • @kyliejones8827
      @kyliejones8827 8 месяцев назад +5

      @@sl4983 Yes, me, too. Poor sleep induces cravings and hunger! I think this is very common.
      Sometimes, I eat when I'm thirsty, too, due to misreading the signs and not maintaining hydration levels. 😁

    • @Flipping50TV
      @Flipping50TV  8 месяцев назад +4

      Always. The domino effect is: cortisol, insulin, ghrelin, leptin.. and that's just by afternoon the day after. If it's a pattern it impacts your ability to product testosterone and growth hormone - key for muscle. So, you're storing more fat and losing muscle due to sleep issues. It's a viscious cycle- and becomes the #1 pillar we work on with clients/students at Flipping 50.

    • @Flipping50TV
      @Flipping50TV  8 месяцев назад +4

      Yes- it's the ghrelin causing the cravings .. and leptin (satiety hormone )not telling you you're full. These are impacted by the cortisol chaos the day after sleep deprivation.
