I never would have believed I could live without nighttime snacking. It was your 0,1,2,3 strategy that allowed me to change my way of eating so that now I can easily eat keto and do IF. I needed your strategy to make that transition and I am eternally grateful for your help. Thank you Dr. Becky!
"I want to be comfortable having my picture take" brought tears to my eyes. It's been a very long time since I've felt comfortable. My children stopped pressuring me into being in pictures.
My mom died in 2019. She didn’t like taking pics either. Now, it’s all we have and I wish we “pressured” her more. Please take the steps to feel better becuz they will need those memories. ❤
I love "I can say these things are not wanted" : ) To hear an educated woman around our age talk about food and menopause is welcome when so many 20-somethings might talk about fasting etc, it's not the same. I have really enjoyed your program so far and lost 8lbs since 9/14/21. I feel better and my stomach has less issues. One day at a time!

Thank you for this video. I do intermittent fasting, Monday-Sunday on a 20/4 schedule and it's great!! I would also add ACV. I take a tablespoon in my water in the morning. Finally, employing a Keto lifestyle with IM has been life changing for me at 49 years of age during perimenopause! 🙌🏽

Belly fat never goes away for me. Dinner at 7 and breakfast next day at 10- 11 am. My diet consists of eggs, fish, raw veggies, occasional beef. I drink lots of water. No sugar and low carbs haven't made a difference though this has been my habit for years. I weigh 107 but look chubby in the middle. Beyond frustrating. The only upside is I know my diet is healthy choices. I just hate how I look in clothes.

I agree with you I hate menopause and the way it makes my body look..but someway somehow we have to find something to be thankful for in our new reality
Try standing pilates with dumbells just 10 minutes a day 5 days a week and be consistent. Choose the ones that concentrate on your core. You'll find them all on UA-cam. A little goes a long way. Thank me later!
I have heard from a nutritionist that eating raw cruciferous and certain veg increases bloating. Hence, a cooked version of these veg is a better option

Thank you for just 3 things to do to get started. Not overwhelming. Because the scale never changed I didn't think weight loss would help---what to do? I am 73 yrs old but doing 3 things isn't impossible!!

I eat a whole food plant based diet but i started it 25 years before i hit menopause so i never had a problem with weight gain. Its just hard to gain when you have a high carb low fat low protein diet of whole grains, legumes, veggies, and fruit.
I need to figure this out! I can’t eat like I used to. I always had a flat belly and almost had a 6 pack… I currently have a no pack… I’m 52… and I’m so bothered by my body change. I think these are changes I can manage. Thanks

Why is it always thin people and doctors who say that you can lose belly fat. But you were never fat so I would like to hear it from people who were really fat and lost weight during menopause. So do you have a patient who was really fat and lost weight?. Then I thank you for a posting a reality story and not reproduce information everybody can produce and find on the internet.
Counting calories, exercising every day, and not having alcohol, not smoking or having any type of vice has kept me healthy and my stomach is flat. I am 51 years old. I don't like that many videos, articles, podcasts, etc make it seem like,''You're menopausal, you will have a large belly and there is nothing you can do about it''. I know I cannot eat as much as I ate in my teens and twenties and I can't skip the gym. That's basically it. I am not perfect, but I am healthy and fit. I hope not every woman who is menopausal feels that they are just going to HAVE to accept having a large fupa. I love knowing that there is something we can do to stay fit.
Thank you Dr Becky for these life changing information. Your ability to simplify these information is phenomenal. Please can you do a video on how to heal/improve hyperthyroidism naturally? Thank.

I have been intermittent fasting skipping breakfast or having breakfast for lunch and dinner before 7 pm and started gaining weight. This does not work for me.

Yes, I gained weight in waist area, breast got way bigger and blood pressure went up. I am in my late fifties and this was first time I've ever had high blood pressure.

Thank you for this one. I'm 51 and when covid first hit I just piled on weight until one day I noticed ''I'm fat?!''. I already had a 14:10 eating schedule at that point so now I don't eat til 11 am so it's more like 17:7

I am post menopausal and in my 70 s. It is so hard for me to lose anything and i have quite the belly. I hate it so. The keto diet and intermitten fasting helps reduce the bloating a bit, but the pounds are not dropping much. It makes me feel old and saggy.😢
This was very helpful. I wish you’d address the issue of hypoglycemia. I cannot go too long in the morning without eating because I get very lightheaded since my sugar drops. In my research, no one has addressed this. Thank you.
I can actually answer this- the light-headedness is likely from loss of electrolytes. Dissolve some unprocessed salt like pink himalayan in water and you'll feel better within minutes.

Fasting works for some people, but for others it doesn’t. Fasting could actually increase cortisol (stress hormone) and cause and rapid sugar spike and then crash, leading to lightheadedness.
I suffered with hypoglycemia for years. I finally went on a low carb diet. It has helped immensely. When I intermittent fast, I no longer get shaky or dizzy.
this will work well for some but not for me. I am a non diabetic hypoglycemic. I have to eat 3 normal meals and 3 snacks. I eat high protein low carb and lots of veggies and 1 fruit. this helps keep my blood sugar at a normal level.
I’ve been fasting for years and eating low carb for many years before the menopause and now,doing the same thing,torturing myself,exercising,watching every bite I’m putting so much weight on. Depressed 😭😭😭
I don’t think any diet or any exercise will get rid of the belly fat during menopause. I have lost 2 1/2 stone but my belly fat is still growing and not I am not pregnant. So I do not believe eating healthy or exercising will make any difference.
Thank you Dr. Becky! Very good information, and your videos are refreshing!👍 Since I’ve hit menopause, I almost gave up on losing weight, and of course the results is that I am at heaviest weight in my life 😞😖 I NEED to do something NOW, and your videos are informative and inspiring. I will try the 14-10 plan.

I follow an 18:6 IF regime along with a whole food plant-based diet and aim to walk 20,000 steps a day over the course of the day not all in one shot. A few additional tips that have worked for me, is to start your day with warm water and ACV, I try and get 4 cups in right from the get-go, sipping from a measuring cup makes it easy and fun. I workout in a fasted state usually walking sometimes Zumba sometimes both. I aim to get between 12K and 20K steps daily spread out over the course of the day. For me, increasing the walking time has been the missing piece in attacking belly fat and keeping it off. I've lost 6 inches of body fat since May and kept it off, with very few food restrictions. I enjoy whole wheat pasta, brown and wild rice, oatmeal, potatoes, legumes, all veggies in fact, starchy and non-starchy, air-popped popcorn for snacks, I've switched my bread to pumpernickel which has a low GI index, cut out all processed foods and the weight just keeps falling off with no cravings. It's been an effortless transition one I highly recommend.

Maryanne how are you tracking after a year please? I am also WFPB and feel great however I am heavier around the middle than ever. Rebounding, swimming, and just found out about 20,000 steps .... IF is the next step.
Dr Becky, I do 14/10 intermittent fasting daily, rarely eat carbs and I focus mainly on eating vegetables and protein, no sauces, no butter, I've cut way back on wine and alcohol, I work-out 4-5 days a week, I walk 2-3 miles a day and I still look like I'm pregnant at almost 60! I'm so frustrated! I asked my OBGYN & my primary care physician and they both just said do what you're doing. My health is spectacular otherwise! What can I do? Where can I go for real help?

Justine, have you tried berberine? It really helps with blood sugar and insulin resistance. Research it and ask your doctor. People report huge cholesterol benefits.

In my mid-40s, my middle just thickened and thickened, until menopause at 50. I didn’t gain any weight, it just happened, my already-skinny legs and hips became thinner, too. I went from a waist 10” smaller than my other measurements (bust/shoulders/hips all equal) to one only 5” smaller. When I lost a lot of weight because of illness, about five years later, my waist-to-hip ratio didn’t improve a bit, being narrow-framed, it’s still between 0.85 and 0.90. Doctors say to keep a healthy ratio, but how? Maybe you could answer this question, I’ve never been able to find an answer: does surgical removal of the excess abdominal fat benefit health? If yes, I might do it, but mot just for vanity. My lipid profile has always been terrible, despite my best efforts, I just can’t make much HDL. I have a family history of cardiac disease and other risk factors, but high-normal weight.

As you transition to menopause, your estrogen levels drop, which causes your body to store more bellyfat. Bellyfat is the dangerous type of fat since it’s around your organs. You could definitely lose it without needing surgery. Have you checked your hormone levels to see where they’re at?
Ive been paleo/keto for years! I haven’t 😅eaten carbs in years & still can’t lose belly fat. I’ll occasionally eat blue berries or broccoli but mostly eat quality protein: salmon, grass fed beef, and eggs from home raised chicken. I’ve done intermittent fasting-but not for 12 weeks. I usually do a week on a week off. I tried a veggie only diet about 5 years ago & I did lose weight but also muscle….not ideal. Im trying more resistance training I’ll try it for 12 weeks-but starting it slightly discouraged
You are getting prettier and prettier everyday with such a beautiful smile as always. Thanks for helping us .I am fasting for three days this weekend. It really works.

Hello Dr Becky - I'm new to your channel and considering IF. I'm 56 in peri menopause (still!). Does a bullet proof coffee (MCT oil, butter, collagen) in the morning break the fast?

For some of us it is very slow to come off. I've been doing IF for 5 months and have only lost 16 lbs. The first 2 weeks I lost nothing and was very discouraged. I record my loss on a calendar and I've only had 1 week that I lost 2 lbs. The other weeks are like 1,0,1, 1/2,0....Also measure yourself, I lost 4" in my waist and 3 in my hips.

What do vegan/vegetarians do? I tried to eat meat as described (salmon, fish, deer meat). With salads etc...and ended up gaining 20 lbs. I feel better vegan ( yes, I take B12 etc).. is there any hope for us? What would a dinner/breakfast look like for us?
Dr Gillaspy, do you recommend keto gummies. I am on ADF trying to breakthrough what seems to be a plateau. I use to use the intermittent fasting but stopped loosing weight.

Try water fasting, or intermittent fasting. Cut out all sugar and the bloat will be gone on 3 days.
I'm so fed up of my menopause belly fat hate it

Keto is not sustainable and bad for cholesterol
Thank you so much for your no nonsense simple actions I know are going to work cause I've decided they will!
Thank you for just 3 things to do to get started. Not overwhelming. Because the scale never changed I didn't think weight loss would help---what to do? I am 73 yrs old but doing 3 things isn't impossible!!

I Fast 18 to 22 hours a day. I am also a herbalist and vegetarian over 30yrs.
Great video!@
I eat a whole food plant based diet but i started it 25 years before i hit menopause so i never had a problem with weight gain. Its just hard to gain when you have a high carb low fat low protein diet of whole grains, legumes, veggies, and fruit.
I need to figure this out! I can’t eat like I used to. I always had a flat belly and almost had a 6 pack… I currently have a no pack… I’m 52… and I’m so bothered by my body change. I think these are changes I can manage. Thanks
Me too and the motivation is not there
I have a keg belly
Thank you so much for all the videos. I purchased your diet plan and lost 10 pounds the first week. You are my motivation. Love.

Wow, practical and straight to the point. Subscribed.
I have tried IF, calorie deficit etc etc… none of that works for me.
What does work (I think! So far) is small meals throughout the day
Why is it always thin people and doctors who say that you can lose belly fat. But you were never fat so I would like to hear it from people who were really fat and lost weight during menopause. So do you have a patient who was really fat and lost weight?. Then I thank you for a posting a reality story and not reproduce information everybody can produce and find on the internet.
Counting calories, exercising every day, and not having alcohol, not smoking or having any type of vice has kept me healthy and my stomach is flat. I am 51 years old. I don't like that many videos, articles, podcasts, etc make it seem like,''You're menopausal, you will have a large belly and there is nothing you can do about it''. I know I cannot eat as much as I ate in my teens and twenties and I can't skip the gym. That's basically it. I am not perfect, but I am healthy and fit. I hope not every woman who is menopausal feels that they are just going to HAVE to accept having a large fupa. I love knowing that there is something we can do to stay fit.
This woman is a HERO
Great ideas. My hubby and I have already started your 0, 1,2,3 plan!
That's great to hear, Julie!
Thank you Dr Becky for these life changing information. Your ability to simplify these information is phenomenal.
Please can you do a video on how to heal/improve hyperthyroidism naturally? Thank.

I have been intermittent fasting skipping breakfast or having breakfast for lunch and dinner before 7 pm and started gaining weight. This does not work for me.
Your new haircut looks nice!

Yes, I gained weight in waist area, breast got way bigger and blood pressure went up. I am in my late fifties and this was first time I've ever had high blood pressure.

Thank you for this one. I'm 51 and when covid first hit I just piled on weight until one day I noticed ''I'm fat?!''. I already had a 14:10 eating schedule at that point so now I don't eat til 11 am so it's more like 17:7

I just found you a couple of weeks ago and I am hooked! You explain so well but I also sense your credibility and confidence in the way you address things. I will follow your advices and see how it turns out. Thank you so much ! Can’t wait for the next video !
Welcome to my channel, Nathalie!
Agree! And she will get straight to the point. I also love how she is presenting, in a very calm and clear way. Truly Inspiring.

I am post menopausal and in my 70 s. It is so hard for me to lose anything and i have quite the belly. I hate it so. The keto diet and intermitten fasting helps reduce the bloating a bit, but the pounds are not dropping much. It makes me feel old and saggy.😢
This was very helpful. I wish you’d address the issue of hypoglycemia. I cannot go too long in the morning without eating because I get very lightheaded since my sugar drops. In my research, no one has addressed this. Thank you.
I can actually answer this- the light-headedness is likely from loss of electrolytes. Dissolve some unprocessed salt like pink himalayan in water and you'll feel better within minutes.
@@melilifabulosa5505 , thank you.

Fasting works for some people, but for others it doesn’t. Fasting could actually increase cortisol (stress hormone) and cause and rapid sugar spike and then crash, leading to lightheadedness.
I suffered with hypoglycemia for years. I finally went on a low carb diet. It has helped immensely. When I intermittent fast, I no longer get shaky or dizzy.
this will work well for some but not for me. I am a non diabetic hypoglycemic. I have to eat 3 normal meals and 3 snacks. I eat high protein low carb and lots of veggies and 1 fruit. this helps keep my blood sugar at a normal level.
Hello doctor, thank you for very informative video. Is it safe for person with galstones do intermittent fasting?
Excellent thank you
Thank you so much. I am going to download and try it all.
Yes iam 67 and not moble due to stroke so i lost some but i need to lose it
This video has got me to thinking.
👍👍👍
Love your new book too!!
Thank you!
I do intermittent fasting, low carb and I still have a flabby fat belly 😢
OMG same here!
I’ve been fasting for years and eating low carb for many years before the menopause and now,doing the same thing,torturing myself,exercising,watching every bite I’m putting so much weight on. Depressed 😭😭😭
You have get first your cortisol levels down, before You can Loose Weight, regular Food dont make fat🩷
I don’t think any diet or any exercise will get rid of the belly fat during menopause. I have lost 2 1/2 stone but my belly fat is still growing and not I am not pregnant. So I do not believe eating healthy or exercising will make any difference.
The struggle is real. I feel the same way.
Thank you Dr. Becky!
Very good information, and your videos are refreshing!👍
Since I’ve hit menopause, I almost gave up on losing weight, and of course the results is that I am at heaviest weight in my life 😞😖
I NEED to do something NOW, and your videos are informative and inspiring.
I will try the 14-10 plan.

I am currently at a 14:10 fasting schedule. Aiming for 16:8.
I have been following i f for years. Wish I could lose weight and lose belly fat. I have also reduced carbs for the last 3 years. No changes at all.
I follow an 18:6 IF regime along with a whole food plant-based diet and aim to walk 20,000 steps a day over the course of the day not all in one shot. A few additional tips that have worked for me, is to start your day with warm water and ACV, I try and get 4 cups in right from the get-go, sipping from a measuring cup makes it easy and fun. I workout in a fasted state usually walking sometimes Zumba sometimes both. I aim to get between 12K and 20K steps daily spread out over the course of the day. For me, increasing the walking time has been the missing piece in attacking belly fat and keeping it off. I've lost 6 inches of body fat since May and kept it off, with very few food restrictions. I enjoy whole wheat pasta, brown and wild rice, oatmeal, potatoes, legumes, all veggies in fact, starchy and non-starchy, air-popped popcorn for snacks, I've switched my bread to pumpernickel which has a low GI index, cut out all processed foods and the weight just keeps falling off with no cravings. It's been an effortless transition one I highly recommend.

Maryanne how are you tracking after a year please?
I am also WFPB and feel great however I am heavier around the middle than ever.
Rebounding, swimming, and just found out about 20,000 steps ....
IF is the next step.
Dr Becky, I do 14/10 intermittent fasting daily, rarely eat carbs and I focus mainly on eating vegetables and protein, no sauces, no butter, I've cut way back on wine and alcohol, I work-out 4-5 days a week, I walk 2-3 miles a day and I still look like I'm pregnant at almost 60! I'm so frustrated! I asked my OBGYN & my primary care physician and they both just said do what you're doing. My health is spectacular otherwise! What can I do? Where can I go for real help?

Justine, have you tried berberine? It really helps with blood sugar and insulin resistance. Research it and ask your doctor. People report huge cholesterol benefits.
Absolutely gorgeous , thank you !

I am a hot mess. I don’t know what to do. Low carb or keto? I did keto 2 months in ketoses and no weight loss 🤷🏻♀️
Healthy and to lose the weight.
In my mid-40s, my middle just thickened and thickened, until menopause at 50. I didn’t gain any weight, it just happened, my already-skinny legs and hips became thinner, too. I went from a waist 10” smaller than my other measurements (bust/shoulders/hips all equal) to one only 5” smaller. When I lost a lot of weight because of illness, about five years later, my waist-to-hip ratio didn’t improve a bit, being narrow-framed, it’s still between 0.85 and 0.90. Doctors say to keep a healthy ratio, but how? Maybe you could answer this question, I’ve never been able to find an answer: does surgical removal of the excess abdominal fat benefit health? If yes, I might do it, but mot just for vanity. My lipid profile has always been terrible, despite my best efforts, I just can’t make much HDL. I have a family history of cardiac disease and other risk factors, but high-normal weight.

As you transition to menopause, your estrogen levels drop, which causes your body to store more bellyfat. Bellyfat is the dangerous type of fat since it’s around your organs.
You could definitely lose it without needing surgery. Have you checked your hormone levels to see where they’re at?
Ive been paleo/keto for years! I haven’t 😅eaten carbs in years & still can’t lose belly fat. I’ll occasionally eat blue berries or broccoli but mostly eat quality protein: salmon, grass fed beef, and eggs from home raised chicken. I’ve done intermittent fasting-but not for 12 weeks. I usually do a week on a week off.
I tried a veggie only diet about 5 years ago & I did lose weight but also muscle….not ideal. Im trying more resistance training
I’ll try it for 12 weeks-but starting it slightly discouraged
How can you deal with the craving for food? I could do whatever if I wouldn't crave for food so bad.
I definitely have some perimenopausal belly fat. However, I don't have any weight to lose.
Dr. Becky, how’s Dr. K?
Doing great! Updates are posted on 2FitDocs UA-cam Channel under the Community Tab
And in Man-A-Pause too !
You are getting prettier and prettier everyday with such a beautiful smile as always. Thanks for helping us .I am fasting for three days this weekend. It really works.
Wow thank you.
I snack before bed like crazy until 10pm sometimes and I got to stop doing it😢
Thank you
I stay very busy and watch carbohydrates. I take DHEA which helps me . Dally exercise is necessary too. I have a waistline because of my efforts.

14:10 is not fasting, it’s more like normal eating
Just finish watching your video and yes I have so much weight on due to menopause and if such a struggle this is the hardest time I've ever tried to lose weight and maybe I really need to try the intermittent fasting

Hello Dr Becky - I'm new to your channel and considering IF. I'm 56 in peri menopause (still!). Does a bullet proof coffee (MCT oil, butter, collagen) in the morning break the fast?

Why? Because I feel like I’m 8 months pregnant right now
Can you have tea with cream when you waken or does this interrupt your fast? Thank you
what about a bad microbiome?
I'm doing the IF and seriously nothing is happening...hopefully something changes...😫🤦♀️
For some of us it is very slow to come off. I've been doing IF for 5 months and have only lost 16 lbs. The first 2 weeks I lost nothing and was very discouraged. I record my loss on a calendar and I've only had 1 week that I lost 2 lbs. The other weeks are like 1,0,1, 1/2,0....Also measure yourself, I lost 4" in my waist and 3 in my hips.

What do vegan/vegetarians do? I tried to eat meat as described (salmon, fish, deer meat). With salads etc...and ended up gaining 20 lbs. I feel better vegan ( yes, I take B12 etc).. is there any hope for us? What would a dinner/breakfast look like for us?
Mam, that's, mean, only, frombelly,, andthies, gain, waight, and,what, about, upper, side
Dr Gillaspy, do you recommend keto gummies. I am on ADF trying to breakthrough what seems to be a plateau. I use to use the intermittent fasting but stopped loosing weight.
This was HELPFUL!
