These 5 things I did to lose weight are NOT all exercise-related. Results my vary but reducing stress and inflammation are always beneficial for midlife women.

    This is a very holistic approach. I like that it's not a crash diet and intense exercise plan. That would add to the stress and high cortisol levels. What worked in my twenties (i.e., cabbage soup diet/military diet) doesn't work in my 60's anymore. Psychologically, I just can't deal with drastic changes in my daily habits and routine at this point in my life. I love the mindfulness and simplicity of your weight loss plan.

    I admire you for being so classy in the comments. I really enjoy your channel and this video was interesting. I let little inflammatory things sneak in sometimes so it was a reminder to be more mindful (vs mindless) for my health. Your dress was lovely, you looked great before and after anyway, and I hope everyone had a great experience at the wedding. ❤

    I used to workout 3 hours/day for three years (except on weekends). I did HIIT, treadmil, kick boxing, cycele zumba and strength training (less). I got burned out and I do mostly strength training and walking 30 mins every other day. I was never on a diet, but, I count my macros and calories. I stopped that too, I got burned out.

    Oils are very calorically dense, but I do like them on salads and for roasting vegetables. To minimize the amount of oil I use, I bought an oil mister off of Amazon (picture a glass bottle with a removeable spray pump top) and I spray all oils on my salads and vegs. One tsp of olive oil (for example) is about 40 calories and I can usually get by with less than that (I worked out how many pumps = 1 tsp so I can gauge how much I use). Works well for me.

    • @Flipping50TV

      Good solution for you!! I found the discovery of removing oxalates in salad greens was the secret benefit

    If you want to drop five pounds, all you need to do is lose water weight. Eat more fatty beef and drink more water, eliminate fruits, vegetables, coffee, and sweets.
    The easiest way to lose 5 lbs is to do a 72-hour water fast.

    • @Flipping50TV

      ⁠Right! That fits - drop sugar and carbs and eat protein and fat for fuel. And drink more water and electrolytes. 3-5 kg water weight in a week will go.

    For the walking, does a treadmill or an elliptical machine work as well?

    • @Flipping50TV
      @Flipping50TV  3 месяца назад +2

      It certainly can. There’s just a double bonus with outdoor effect on cortisol. Compared city walkers with Central Park walkers … cortisol more significantly reduced outdoors

      @@Flipping50TV fasting is pretty good at preserving muscle. I’m about to turn 55, and fasting is easier than it’s ever been for me, good energy wise and not much in the way of hunger pangs. Well, that is, since I’ve retired anyway. When I was working full time there was too much stress in my life to make any progress on getting healthy.

      Anyone who’s ever tried the cabbage soup diet will tell you, you may lose a few lbs but the bloat will make your belly look 4 months pregs.
