thanxs man
As a science trained woman, I can tell immediately who really has the education and this video was excellent. Your description of the belly types is spot on, you’re helping so many women. I’m telling everyone about you! Looking forward to your hormonal reset + supps!
This is good to hear. I really like gauge girl so good to see someone endorsing her/their credibility. :)
Can we see the different bellies so I can compare mine
I’m excited to try cutting some of these foods for my bloated belly. My waist line fluctuates 4” on a daily basis after I eat. 🤦♀️
I’m a clinical nutritionist practicing in India! I have recently started following you here on RUclips and I must say the content is gold!
I have bloat belly and it was a lot. I thought I had gained so much weight. My bra started to hurt around my stomach area, but once I started taking turmeric pills, eating better, and sleeping better it started going away. I think I might also have some hormonal issues as well. I fit in with some of that too. Thanks for this information 💕
OMG I can't believe I stumbled upon this! 😱 I definitely have the hormonal belly! I lost over 100 lbs but now I can't loose any more and in fact my weight is slowly starting to creep up! 😩 I've been trying everything only to just be able to stay the same!!! I can see where my abs want to " come in" but there is a layer of fat over them and then I have the "apron" stomach. It is not as big as it used to be but it's still there and hanging. I also have irregular periods and recently diagnosed with Uterine Fibroids! 🤦♀ So it really makes sense to me what you're saying!! I will definetly look on your site to see what I can get because I 100 percent agree that weight loss is science, and Dr. trainers, coaches, in general are still living in the cave days! We need 1,000 more like you!!! 💯💖💖💖☺
Glad I stumbled upon you. You are spot on. I’m an endomorph which is why low carb worked so well for me before. Now you’re helping me recomposition my body and I discovered I wasn’t getting enough protein. I was lethargic and having a hard time exercising. Once I up’d my protein I felt better and stopped craving chocolate too. Win, win!
I am so very happy for you!!!!! Congrats love!
@@gaugegirltraining m wider from hip love handles,but my glutes are d shape not fuller glute but wider from hips.its very bad when v look wider from back of hips but glutes are d shape nd square.
What's I also find myself is when I don't have carbs and my protein intake is high (particularly not having bread, pasta, rice etc), I don't crave them. Feel satiated for hours on end.
Oh my, 100% hormonal belly! Thank you for helping us!
Star Anise. I ate rice with star anise once recently at a friends and for the following 6 weeks i was passing 'cholesterol stones'. Something i never heard of before. Let me tell you that relieved a bloat and a pressure i had been plagued by for a year and a half. Im about to purchase my own star anise from the local Indian store and take it regularly 👍
You are a God send. My mom had her period till 70 my sister has hers at 63. I lost mine at 45 im 55 no menepause symptoms mine stopped when i went vegan 16 years ago
Omg, I have the bloated belly type, im so frustrated with this. But thank God I came upon your video. I've never had anyone explain or understand my plight.
I can't tell you how happy I am about this video. I am post menopausal and gaining weight without any apparent reason. I eat healthy and exercise, but my weight won't budge. I am binge watching your very educational videos trying to figure out how to lose my excess weight. Thank you so very much for sharing your wisdom and giving us tools to crack this mystery weight gain and hope!
I was trying to take the easy way out for so long. I finally just started listening to what I really need to do and after watching your videos I have seen results finally! Thank you so much! Your channel has saved me from all the lies (all the click bait videos claiming this is how you lose weight). You have inspired me to do better and really push my self harder than I ever have. Love you and can’t wait for the next video!💕
Finding out I fit the hormonal belly category. My tummy has been like this since I was a teen and have had hormonal imbalances since. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist for answers. I hope it aids my health journey. I'm down 20lbs since February. Progress is slow, but it's better than nothing that's for sure. ❤
Congrats on the progress!!!
@@adedow1333 Thank you so much!! ❤
I went to an endocrine once and she didn’t do anything to help me. They tested my levels and found out I have high dhea but then had no advice for me. It is so frustrating.
@@fourleaf8055 Google and another dr? I've been diagnosed with PCOS.. and DHEAs levels through the roof
@@fourleaf8055 my endocrinologist could not pinpoint root of my problem. Started me on lowest medication. Few month later I came off it, and my tests after not being on it my numbers were fine. I still had hypothroid symptoms. She had no explanation. Never went back. Got on bio identical hormones and I'm much improved. But the hormone belly weight remains after like 2 years. 😢
Hormonal belly and fat belly here! Great explanation.
FINALLY, an answer as to why my belly is bigger BELOW the navel, and it seemed to start around pre-menopausal time. Had fibroids removed, but that "pooch" never went away. Poor eating, then TOP belly started trying to "catch up" w/bottom (lol). So I KNOW you're spot on. Now, on IF w/keto, but will be looking for ur supps. Gonna try some kind of "green" or "veggie" supps until then!! Come on WITH IT, Sis!!
Can you have more then one type of belly at the same time ? Like a bloated & hormonal belly and how do you treat this ?
I feel that's my problem often. Hoping to see a response to this question
So happy to find this I'm sure hormonal belly is my issues. I have lost over 150 lbs , completely vegetarian and daily work out but I can lose my bell. Honestly I gave up on try to lose it I thought I was just meant to be this way
The way you described the hormone belly symptoms sounds like you personally know me. I’ve literally tried all types of exercises routines/ diet changes. I’ve lost weight everywhere else, my legs & arms are toned. The bottom belly never leaves! I can’t wait to try your supplements. Thanks for this.
i'm in the same boat! i thought i was insane. did rigorous exercise 6 days a week. arms, glutes, legs, got well toned and defined. literally NOTHING changed in regard to my stomach. maintained the same shape.
@@BlueBirdsFIy I’ve lost 30lbs and the belly won’t budge. It is so frustrating & discouraging.
excess estrogen also correlates with conditions like endometriosis and uterine fibroids
and PMDD
Can u have a combination of belly types? (i.e. hormonal & bloated or hormonal & weight gain) And how do u treat this?
I have the hormonal belly, and I absolutely hate it...I actually want to get a tummy tuck but I don't wanna take the easy way out. I need to know how to get rid of this and stay fit. Thank you for posting this video
That’s what I was thinking or either lipo 360 but I’m scared I just want to do things the natural way 😫
@@JustMekia don't be pressured by "perfection" to the point of risking your life. Do it naturally, and love yourself enough to accept your body as it constantly changes. Have you tried weight/resistance training?
@@najaahamari4199 I agree with you 100% and thanks for the motivation I have decided to things naturally, I have been eating clean and exercising I also do resistant and weight training..I love myself for who I am and I’m gonna continue my journey the natural way. After doing my research about lipo and tummy tucks, it’s so many women dying from these surgeries so with that being said, I refuse to go out like that.. I rather put in the work and get my results that way and my results are amazing so far ..I would advise all the ladies to work on themselves naturally, it’s the safest way
If I eat too much veggies, fruits, beans,kale, they all make me bloat like crazy! Lol. Happened to me today.
Same here, and it really sucks because I love eating veggies and beans
Saaaame smh
You are God sent, thank you.
....and today I learned I have a hormonal belly, thank god there is a way to deal with it.
Omg thank you so so much 💗💓💖 you have solved my belly issues.. I really need a diet plan that makes sense for my type.. I have bloating because of peptic ulcer and hormonal belly because of stress n bc.. thank you thank you... more blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I can't wait!! Thank you so much!! This might keep me from getting a tummy tuck!!
I am so happy that I found your video. I was just saying that I want to finally find a way to get rid of my belly. And I have also been wondering why my stomach was looking different. Top part was different from the bottom. I have asked the doctor and they would not answer me. So I had to do research on my own and figure it out. But you have helped a lot . I will do what you have said and cut out the dairy. I have tried to drink seltzer water because it is flavored. I don't drink sodas anymore
But I guess I have to cut that out too.
Pretty sure I have hormonal belly because of my anxiety.
My anxiety is being addressed but if you are coming out with a supplement that will be super helpful. I get like 40 grams of fibre a day but I probably need a boost to be consistent.
Oh wow I’ve had irregular periods my whole life and have always had a belly like that never did i think it had a connection.
I have a hormonal belly and I'm looking forward to those supplements 😌
I'm still waiting for you to come out with Vegan protein because I love your Vegan collagen so much!!!💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍
I think I’ve had the bloated belly my whole life. I’ve always had that top part of my stomach stick out since I was very young and the rest of me is small. But it looks and feels exactly how people describe, no rolls, a solid mass..but they make it sound temporary. I do eat broccoli and Brussels sprouts all the time. But idk if just stopping that will be enough to get rid of it
Same, my whole life! No matter how skinny I would keep THE HORMONAL STOMACH SHAPE AND BLOATED BELLY NEVER LEAVES!
I started high protein low carb afew months ago and it's helped significantly BUT that hormonal bloated belly shape just won't go!
There's clearly hope for us with this information 😊😊😊😘😘😘😘
I thought I was the only one! I feel like I’ve had a bloated belly my ENTIRE life. I too eat broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts…all the time.
I’m 100% sure that I have the hormonal belly and I’m over it I been cut a lot from my diet but I’m struggling hard with the belly fat🤦🏽♀️😩
Post pregnancy bellies...diastasis recti abdominus plus some loose skin doesn’t make for a flat stomach.
I was very confused which type of belly fat I have .. I have seen many videos about it but didn't got it... Now you clear my doubt... I have bloated belly fat... And I have gas and acidity problem..
I think I'm majority bloat though probably a bit of the other two as well. When I did a Whole30 in the past I lost 5 inches in my waist and 2% of my body fat without losing any weight (I also went from poor sleeper to perfect sleeper). It was amazing! And to think I was eating mainly meat and fruit. So food intolerances are definitely my issue but I get FOMO and eat stuff I shouldn't.
@guagegirltraining Thank you so much for introducing me to the concept of the hormonal belly! Given the other weirdness that my body is pulling recently, it makes so much sense. Thank you for giving me the power to do something about it! I e bumped up my fiber intake to around 30g/day and already I can tell that my body is calmer and my periods are being shaken back into place (this is after 10 days!) I am so excited to see how my body will shake itself out!
Any supplements for fibre, or are you doing it entirely through food?
Can you have a hormonal belly while having a regular period? Because this has been me, but My cycle is like clockwork. Im really intrigued and this could be super helpful.
Me too
Same
I can’t wait! I’m definitely buying the supplements!!
😭😭😭😭 I have all three weight gain belly, bloating belly and hormonal belly.
OMGOSH you are hitting the nail on the head with those causes: over eating, processed foods, excess sugar intake, soda AND coffee a sedentary lifestyle and depression . Oh yea, I think I’ve tried every tip and trick out there to lose weight. I’ve already gone through menopause so what do I do?
So glad I came across you on here. You clearly know your subject. I'm on HRT now. I'm slim all over 9 stone 7 but belly protrusion starts under bust to below navel, no rolls.. I eat clean mostly, moderate exercise. Cauliflower and some veg causes so much gas as does wheat so I avoid. Could I be bloated and hormonal type together? Thank you.
I think I am both as well
Thank you so so Much💖💗 from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
super clear thank you
Great explained. Already dealing with the problem. Although in my case, a bit of an excessive fat(high cortisol, adreanal fatigue, almost under control) A lot of sleep, rest, relax, walks in the nature.
I have ordered a NATURAL progesterone again after 3 years. It has healed my menstrual cycle in the past, still working great. My body has learned. It regulates all hormones, also missing hormones can be created from it. I am eating enormous amounts of vegetables. I love them. Row onces especially🍆💗
Thank you
Love 💘the education and supplements you put out! In here for it # 🙌
What about weight gain after stopping breastfeeding? Could that be hormonal and weight gain? I lost the weight quick and easy after baby but gained slowly a short time after I stopped breastfeeding.
Same
Same and I’m petite, and workout regularly
Hi Christine, thank you do much for your videos, they've taught me so much!! I am in the menopausal boat with a lot of your other commentors, all symptoms of low estrogen. Will you be doing videos on eating plans to reduce hot flashes, dry skin, low libido, dry private parts, brain fog, crying, etc. Most of your videos talk about having too much estrogen. Thank you for your input. Love to watch you, you're so genuine!!
Oh and I almost forgot, of course, can't lose the belt weight because of the menopause and low estrogen.
It's so amazing I saw this video. My is a double roll
Can u please do more videos about weight gain belly
I need the hormonal supplements. I definitely have a hormonal belly.
Great content lots of information!
Love your hair girl
You look so beautiful today! Love your braided hair, brings out your highlights! Love ur outfit too! Great color on u! Can't wait until the supplements come out! Thanks for so much advice and info in this video! 🙂💖
Christine, can you be all three? Like I literally feel like i'm all three based off of what you described.
That's how I feel too😂😂😂
Thanks for your video. do you have any suggestions for losing tummy weight for older women? ie. those in menopause . there are many channels suggesting menopause women has low estrogen levels which lead to weight gain in the belly area., ie. not extra amount of estrogen. so for those people, reduce estrogen perhaps not going to work for them to reduce tummy fat.
I feel like I won’t know for sure until I lose more weight. I def look like a hormonal belly rn. I am 5 month pp and nursing. I’m back to pre baby weight but I was over weight to begin with. I’d still like to lose about 30lbs. I’m pretty big everywhere. I don’t think my belly is larger then it should be for my weight. I guess we’ll see what happens as I lose more weight. I’m def going to add more fiber into my diet! Thanks for the info.
I have major excessive weight that I find it hard to tell which fits me better. I started thinking about my childhood though, to when the weight began. I have had, since I was 4, an imaginary belt with weight above but more underneath. As I have aged and had children, it looks more like the hormonal. I think I should look into correcting the hormone belly first. The few times I have lost weight was when I went hard on cardio and cut sugar completely but found it impossible to maintain.
Bloated torso here
So when you lose 5 pounds it's a big deal😩💕
For sure I have a hormonal belly, i only have fat below my navel, I also have PMS and trying now to conceive for a year. i do have a regular menstrual cycle
Hi Stephanie! Pms or pcos ..?
(Hey or both..👋)
@@ftumi pms, I don't have pros
Would love to try the hormonal supplements. I have a mix of hormonal and bloated belly due to being on an iud for 3 yrs and not having a menstrual in over 2yrs. I know my hormones are out of wack. Finally iud free and my face is breaking out. Still no menstrual. So glad I found your channel. I want to lose this big hanging belly. The rest of my body looks good! But gosh my belly 😭
Ok so I am an early teen in the range of 12-15 I have not gotten my period yet my family are all late bloomers I have a bigger stomach that sticks out and is rounded but I am really skinny everywhere else like really skinny everywhere else and I want to know how to lose the rounded sticking out stomach but not as much anywhere else because I am really skinny everywhere else and I don’t need to lose more on the rest of my body just my stomach
Thank you please comment to help me figure this out 😊
How do we diagnose food intolerances ? Allergy test ?
Quick question - I have only recently started seeing this “hormonal belly” since I started the vaginal HRT.
I was told it will not affect me, but it is definitely affecting me.
Yes, I went through a few years of high stress, and it continues, but I live a very healthy, active lifestyle, incorporating yoga, meditation, Pilates, LiIT, and a good nutritional diet.
I lost over 35kg and suddenly this “bread dough” has appeared.
Should I stop the estrogen replacement therapy?
I should add, I’m 57 and I have been menopausal for the past 3 years.
I’m happy I found you I have normal Menstrual cycles but I think have both bloated and hormone belly. How can I get rid of it I’m so ready also my face is fat and neck and arms please help.
I almost feel relieved that I have either bloated belly and excess fat. I can't imagine having to deal with hormonal problems.
Thank you. ❤️
Crohn’s disease makes it hard for me to tell sometimes and a hysterectomy
I am beyond frustrated. I gave a big bloated stomach all over no rolls. I have weight to lose but get an extremely distended stomach after I eat almost anything. I have no idea what to do anymore. I ate 2 scrambled eggs today and a piece of baked chicken and a salad today and I look and feel pregnant. I am so uncomfortable it’s awful. I hate food now. Feel like it’s my enemy. It makes me so sad and ruins my self esteem. I belch too after eating anything. Even water!!! I drink water when I get up and immediately burp. I went to and endo a couple years ago. Was tested and told I have high dhea. She gave me no advice and offered me a birth control. I just started a low dose hoping it will even out my hormones because my cycle is awful. I don’t know what to do any more, please help me 😢
I have the same problem as you. I have went to 3 GI Dr's with no help. I stay bloated all day everyday. When I do eat I bloat even more and I don't dare eat twice a day or the pain is so bad that I will end up in the hospital.
I even have distention on the sides of my stomach.
I take 3000 mg of magnesium a day just so I can go to the bathroom.
My bloat starts just below my boobs and it looks like a beach ball and it goes down to my belly button and is hard as a rock. Then from the belly button down its fat but it's very mushy and just hangs past my public area.
Before my stomach only stuck out at the bottom and I would take that back any day because at least the I could eat and I didn't look 12 to 15 months pregnant, not 9 months but 12. Yes it can get that bad.
I hate to try and find clothes because nothing fits right. I have to get it to fit my stomach then it's like a trash bag every where else.
I have been going through this since 2014.
It started with a burning pain in my mid spine, about where your bra would go around you. Then the burning pain started adding the bloating. At first I actually thought I was pregnant but took a test and it was negative.
But I'm way bigger now.
If I eat and even 3 or 4 hours later I drink a bottle of water I feel as if my stomach is going to split open. Only way to describe it is that my stomach is an inner tube and someone is putting air in it. The tube says it can only hold 20 psi but the air compressor don't shut off and just keeps putting more and more air into it until it is ready to be split open.
The only thing I have found that helps me at all and I found this on my own by doing a lot of research is taking a Pre biotic and a Pro biotic. You can find them in a gummy at Walmart.
Plus I found some just plain pre biotic which is inulin, ( chicory root) and to be honest I think the pre biotics do more then the pro biotics but I take both.
If you ever figure out what is going on with you I would be in heaven if you could share. As I would if I found out something.
God bless 🙏💞🙏
Also I can't loose weight. I don't hardly eat but one time a day and I gain weight. I walked 5 miles with my sister one day and gained a pound. So I know where you are coming from and I would take a lower belly any day because I delt with that type of stomach for most of my life and it is a lot easier to hide with clothes then what I have now. I just wish she would answer peoples messages on here and help people.
Heck if I knew how I would send her a picture of my stomach so she could have real photos to share with people because the bloat type is real and is worse then any of them....
What do u think of Calcium D glucarate for hormonal belly?
Hi!! I’m just now coming across this video. I think that I’m realizing I have hormonal belly and this is a he first I’m hearing about anything like this!! My question is that I no longer have a gallbladder, will that also impact weight gain?
I have a hormonal belly I lost 100pounds on my own and stuck with this bottom belly I would love to try your supplements where do I get them.
In your book “unlock your macro type” does it describe hormone belly?
Can you have a mixture of 2 types, like the bloated and hormonal types?
I have PCOS. I know that cruciferous vegetables help detox estrogen, so what do you do if you have a sensitivity to them? I love broccoli, brussel sprouts, etc., but I’m always bloated after eating them.
Hi Christine , I've been watching a couple of your videos since I decided to start learning about macros. I've watched this video like 3-4 times now. I thought I had a hormonal belly, considering being told I have PCOS in the past and having dealt with fibroids. I had surgery and I feel the bottom part of my belly become shelfed due to surgery - I don't believe my belly was like this before.. but this morning I looked at my belly, before eating, only had a cup of water, and feel like it looks like a bloated belly... I've been working on wellness since surgery to try and prevent having fibroids again. I've lost some weight, about 40lbs, and working on losing more - hence learning about macros... is it possible to have both a hormonal and bloated belly? Sidenote, I just got an IC3 supplement to start taking..
Yes it is completely possible to have a hybrid of belly types
I really need help I think I have a combination of belly and midsection weight gain
Hi, have the supplements come out?
Where can I purchase the supplements for the hormonal belly?
Thank you for this video 🙏🏻
I am bloated and hormonal
Guess i have a bloated belly. I look pregnant. Always thought it was because of wt gain and fibroid. I don't think it is just bloat though...
DM me on Instagram for a complimentary belly type assessment
I feel I have all three
I have PCOS. What if I’m not getting my period because my doctor told me to take my birth control continuously? Thank you!!
Monday at noon- est?
Supplements ready??? And thank so much for this
Sure are! gaugelife.com/products/hormone-reset-supplements-bundle
you're so pretty omg
You are awesome.
Love this ❤😊
Interesting however mine was the opposite instead of high level of estrogen I am taking high doses of progesterone. This is for a medical condition but I definitely do show symptoms of hormonal belly. Do you know if the opposite hormone applies in this case? 🤔
Ok so I believe I have the hormonal belly and with insulin resistance with type 2 diabetes can not lose weight and information would be great
Hey, I am in my late 20’s with regular periods and no children, but my abdomen resembles a hormonal belly. Is this possible or is there a deeper problem?
I’m still trying to figure out if mine is weight gain or hormonal. It’s too hard to tell after having two babies (I’m 5 months postpartum). If I think back before having kids it was mostly lower belly but now it seems more like the whole belly, but it’s hard to tell if the appearance is just from being stretched out.
it could also be "diastasis recti" where your ab muscles are too separated and make it look like you're still pregnant
@@MinnieMousey06 I've thought about that too. A physio told me no after my first pregnancy but I haven't had it checked again since having my second.
Please do you have workout for hormonal belly?
U helped me soo much.... i have the weight gain belly. N please please tell me what to do with the rolls and folds on my belly. Its embarrassing.
After all calculations i got to know that my belly is bloated which has fat and faces hormonal fat too.
I am 50 and peri-menopausal. I definitely have the hormonal belly still... even on bio-identical hormones today, exercising, keto-ish lifestyle, I can't lose it... I do take DIM (500 mg p/day) today. Can I / should I take DIM still with your new IC3 product coming out, or I would stop DIM?
I can't wait to see your new hormonal supplements and eating plan!!!
omg this is soo me thank you
I for sure have the hormonal belly type, but I went through menopause years ago. What supplements are right for me?
