I am on a low carb diet and avoiding flour and sugar and I promise you I have not lost a gram in 19 days. I started just before new year. lost 2 kilos really quickly, then nothing. I'm doing everything right. Fibre, no sugar, no flour, good fats, still conscious of calories, lots of water, not drinking calories. UNBELIEVABLE. I'm handing my body over to medical science because it is defying the laws of physics right now.
Absolutely not true. I am 54 years old and 5 years post menopause. I don't eat sugar, I don't eat flour, I don't eat junk food. I also practice intermittent fasting. And i get regular exercise. I don't lose weight around my mid section. I continue to eat healthy anyway because I feel much better and I know overall I am healthier, but it does not contribute to weight loss.
I have helped a ton of menopausal women lose weight during peri, and after full menopause. I was frustrated as well when my metabolism started changing. I am thankful I found a solution in healthy supplements and an easy plan to follow. @@LightBeingsBE
9 years past menopause and eating low carb, zero sugar, exercise and no weight is coming off. On the contrary. I seem to gain weight from lettuce....wish there was a safe and good way to lose those extra pounds!!
No sugar, no gluten, no dairy, no processed, all grass fed & organic, single ingredient foods, I eat greens, veggies, and some berries sparingly for fruit. 70 oz water daily, nothing. Nada. Have 10 lbs to lose post menopausal. So frustrated that I am commenting here even. Help.
I use estrogens hormone therapy, I don t use hydrocarbonates, I do exercise and I don t lose weight. Maybe you can post a story of a real life person who was fat and lost weight during or after menopause (but is doesn t really end does it). We women are getting sick of people trying to sell weight loss without showing real people who lost belly fat in this period of their lives. There is literally NO real live person to find on you tube who lost weight during menopause. Only skinny, already good looking women who use their looks to sell their product, but have nothing to show for in terms of real live testimonies of fat people who did lose weight during/after menopause......
I went to a weight dr… no diet pills. 13 water bottles a day and only protein. After 3 or 4 months I started to loose weight but I also got a kidney stone 🎉 it wasn’t worth it
I have now the solution. In the netherlands we have a diet called een maatje minder and that is mostly vegetables and noe I have lost weight! I did nit think it was possible cause I ve tried so many diets but this is the solution!
I know from Doctors that estrogen therapy is not safe.I just did my hysterectomy and my ovaries removed because of fibroids… 3 months now but I am scared to take hormones 🥹
3 years post menopause, and I've been eating keto since before then. I lost a good chunk of weight a couple of different times, but since reaching menopause I've gained it back. I'm sure it's hormone related, I just don't know what else to do. Nothing works anymore.
Pre menopause I did keto for 90 days & lost 20lbs. Hit menopause, gained it all back + another 10lbs. The former strategy no longer works, I've done OMAD, 36 hr fasts, and I lose water by the following week it's back. What now??
Well, not so for me😢 I've cut out all carbs and sugar.....only eat meat and fat, two meals a day.....no, none, zilch, nothing, not even a gram of weight-loss in 3 months!!!!!😢😢😢😢 I'm 54 and do not know what else to do to lose 35kgs!!!, I have tried it all😢
I guess the only comfort we can all take is that we aren't alone! I have been a whole food plant-based vegan since my mid-20s and I went through an earlier menopause at age 48. My food lifestyle isn't "junk food vegan", it's Dr. McDougall type eating. High carb, low fat (The carbs are not processed. They are from things like beans and whole grains and fruits and vegetables and rarely any breads or pastas) I'm adding vegan protein powder to things like my oatmeal to increase my protein but so far no luck (after about a year of adding extra protein) By adding protein powder I'm adding an extra 300 calories or so per day to my diet just to get that extra protein boost, but I'm wondering if I should be doing that at all since 300 calories is 300 calories. I'm getting a good amount of protein just from my clean vegan diet, but in order to get at least 100 g of protein per day, I need to add the supplemental protein powders. (An average day of clean vegan eating would be like 70 g of protein and in order to get it up to 100 g of protein, I'm adding about four scoops of protein powder throughout the day to different things) I'm very active as far as taking care of my family, on the go constantly and running my own business and I take daily walks for at least 30 to 60 minutes. Over the last few years since going through menopause, I've gained 20 lb that won't budge off of the scale. I look at my plate of black beans and broccoli or a potato and some other vegetable and my fresh fruit is dessert, feeling guilty for that banana, because nothing I'm doing is working even though I'm eating so cleanly compared to the standard American diet. I have an intolerance to eggs so they give me severe stomach cramps because I could eat those ethically if I wanted to. I wish I could eat plain Greek yogurt with fresh fruit, I can no longer have that. (Dairy industry is terrible for cows) That would be a lower carb high protein snack, but it's off the table. As of yet they haven't really invented a vegan yogurt alternative that is as creamy and low carb and high protein with the same macros as plain Greek yogurt. That being said, I have gone through phases where I do try the plain Greek yogurt just to see if it makes a difference and it doesn't, as far as weight loss. I think I'm just going to have to get into strength training and lifting weights because it doesn't seem like anything else has worked as far as diet. I just had my annual women's well check and my doctor gave me the just cut carbs and track your calories speech and I literally wanted to cry. I asked her about hormones and she said that's really only if you're having hot flashes and other bad symptoms, which thankfully my vegan diet has prevented me from having. I'm about 5 ft 5 in. My lowest healthy weight was 135 and I haven't weighed this much since the early months of my pregnancies years ago. I weighed in at 163 at the doctor yesterday. All of my blood levels look good and I'm healthy otherwise. So maybe the focus shouldn't be on the number on the scale. But according to weight charts I believe I'm technically overweight for my height and frame. It's SO very frustrating and discouraging. I'm so grateful to be able to have the good food and nutrition that I'm able to have and provide for my family. I eat vegan for health and ethical reasons and I want my lifestyle to reflect outwardly as positive - but somebody online saw my photo and commented that I was "looked too big to be a vegan" - Ignorant!! I don't even eat pasta and I don't put dressing on salads. I don't do processed food or cook with oil!! I'm averaging 1600 calories a day on my nutrition tracker. Like I said, I'm just glad not to feel alone. Thanks, ladies for sharing your struggles too! 🙏💛
You sound exactly like me! I’ve decided that I’m fit and healthy and so I’ll just have to accept the way I look because nothing I do is shifting the weight
I've been no grain, no sugar, very healthy keto, intermittent fasting AND keeping calories lower than a maximum of 1400 a day for years. I also have a 6 hours a week goal of intense cardio. The scale doesn't move for months, but all of my bloodwork is excellent. I am 20 to 30 lbs over the normal healthy weight I maintained my whole life eating three times as much and whatever I wanted.
It’s not just the weight, the muscles in your abdomen can just collapse with hormone changes and it’s virtually impossible to tighten them back up no matter how much you exercise
This is bull. OMG I'm going through menopause, have eliminated unhealthy carbs, one meal a day, multiple cleanses, and taken phentermine. Not a single pound. I'm having blood work done today to check hormone levels to see where the culprit is and hope to find answers
I’ve been trying to lose the 40lbs I gained during menopause for 3 years. Prior to menopause, I was a healthy weight. It still took some work to stay in shape, but since menopause it’s been impossible! I’ve resorted to taking the compounded version of Wegovy since starter doses aren’t available anywhere in my area.
Same sh*tty story, different day .. Add protein. At least 90-100grams/day (yes some of it will probably need to be in whey protein drinks) Then, resistance training. 3x/week for about 30min. (can be done with bands instead of weights). No, it's not your fault. Most women who see this video don't eat the "SAD" diet and still haven't had results. You need to develop lean muscle to activate the metabolism.
I'm a trainer and nutritionist, have been for over 30 years, that's not working either. Now any exercise, no matter the type and duration, feels great for 4 to 6 weeks then I end up in severe ketoacodosis from insulin resistance from the estrogen drops, can't exercise, can't sleep, panic attacks galore, it's a nightmare. Everything I know, learned and relied on all my adult life is useless now.
Try this: 12pm Your first big meal (complexed carbs, protein and veggies) at 3 pm have a fruit (any fruit) and before 8pm eat your dinner protein and veggies only (no carbs) Good luck ❤
I stopped eating keto and animal products. It caused me to be prediabetic. Couldn't process all that fat. It went straight to my hips. Now i eat a low fat WFPB diet. Feeling so much better just in two weeks. I haven't lost weight yet, but that takes time.
I’m curious… are you dairy free, wheat free? I’m finding my body needs a shift as well. I’ve been eating a lot more salads and fruit, but I know I need to change things up even more.
Bunch of BS! I’ve been eating lean protein and non-carb veggies only ( that’s what my body tolerates) and my extra 20lb sits on! Herbs, homeopathy, essential oils, plenty of healthy exercise, yoga, healthy lifestyle…nope. I guess some women are luckier then other…
No - after menopause, everything sits in the belly. Never been overweight in my entire life and now have a bellly - I eat right, exercise...so I'd really like to see something that works. HRT made be balloon, so that ended. I really haven't seen anything that actually works.
Only thing moved that scale Is Nordic Track Skier 20 to 30 minutes 3 X weekly.... Even with sugar flour🤗🥧.... Can see muscle definition, can also see layer of jelly fat arms tummy thighs😮.... But working 😊
I lost 14 on trizepitide and intermittent fasting but as soon as you stop it comes back. I also want to try no alcohol, hormones and weight lifting but I’ll never be where I was post menopausal. 😢
The truth is that the same approach just wont work for everyone. There isnt a one size fits all miracle out there. Stay active. Stay strong. Try to eat as much unprocessed food as you can. Its unrealistic to never indulge.
The only women who seem to keep their slim body are those on hormones, and perhaps only those who have spent decent $ on tailor-made bioidenticals specifically for their bodies (The other exception is my friend who smokes weed all the time and has a super fast metabolism 😅)
Only thing that finally moved that scale Is Nordic Track Skier hardest work out ever... 20 min 30 min 3 to 4 X a week... Even with the sugar ladies it's slowly working off the Menopause Jelly Fat... Have defined muscles now can see the layers of fat on arms tummy thighs... But it's moving the scale...!!!
😂 why do women do this to other women? This is not true! No sugar, flour, etc. I'm exercising and on HRT. Haven't lost an ounce. Menopause is not the same for all of us. Period end.
Ive tried it all....i actually gain weight when exercising too....but lets be real, even if i was losing weight...its hard to sustain this. I can cut added sugars...but there's no joy with no flour. Meat and veggies gets old over and over...esp when youre not a huge meat fan.
The only thing starting to work for me 5 years post menopause, is the diabetic plate method, 3 x a day. Even though I'm not diabetic. Good old-fashioned sensible portions and square meals, just on smaller plates. Seems to rev up my metabolism. Advice: don't skip the 1/2 plate of veg at breakfast (just add it to something, like an omelet) to avoid 'morning tea nibbles'. What I like about this too is I can eat (a healthy version) of anything. Fruit too, as long as it's part of my plate 1/4 for carbs.
That's great to hear! Finding a supportive program like Food Addicts in Recovery can be really beneficial, especially during post-menopause when your body is going through changes. If you have any specific questions about your journey or need tips for maintaining your progress, feel free to ask!
Bullshit. I’ve been eating clean since 2019: no sugar, flour, rice, bread, starch, thickeners, MSG, starchy veggies like corn, potatoes, squash, etc. I eat salmon, cod, tuna, lean meats, skinless chicken, no cold cuts, fibrous vegetables especially broccoli, no dairy, very little cheese, only low sugar fruits, like pears and berries. I also do weight train every week. I track my protein and calories. I’m 5’ tall. I was very overweight at 2 points in my life and have found weight loss VERY challenging in menopause in spite of all these measures and restrictions.
I'm telling you these diets don't work.. the only thing that works after menopause to lose weight are all the medications for diabetes. I gained 40 lb in 3 years due to menopause. Never lost an ounce and I was cutting out everything and exercising my butt off I think I lost 5 lb in a year... I went on ozempic and I lost 25 lb in 3 months., but because of the shortages even if it's covered by your insurance they won't give it to you anymore and I don't have the money to pay cash for it. So I had to go off of it and have gained almost all of it back but like 8 lb in the matter of a couple of months. So I believe we're just fat now.... I think we're just going to be fat. Unless we all win the lottery and can pay cash for that s***.
It can be really frustrating when you’re making changes like eliminating flour and sugar but still not seeing the results you want. Sometimes, it might be about other factors like stress, sleep, or hormonal changes. It could also help to look at portion sizes, balance of macronutrients, or even other hidden sources of sugar. If you’re open to it, discussing your journey with a nutritionist or support group might provide some additional insights. You're not alone in this!
I have no clue either I m 46yrs old first 4/5 kg r easy to get off after that !!!! it just gets stuck !!!, seriously I m not checking my weight anymore rather the inches!! That's it
I'm not taking sugar or flour out of the equation. That would be such a boring diet. How about better sugars, like fruit and cane sugar? How about better flours, like imported Italian flour? Eat a Mediterranean diet and move a bit and you should be fine.
I know many menauposal ladies now are losing weight without any diets but they use mounjaro injections …I saw amazing results and fast…did someone here tried theses injections?
This is blatantly false. I did the sugar and flour free approach, did nothing at all. Every alleged expert I see tackling menopausal weight gain offers similar useless advice.
I am on a low carb diet and avoiding flour and sugar and I promise you I have not lost a gram in 19 days. I started just before new year. lost 2 kilos really quickly, then nothing.

OMG, me too, the same. 😕
same - nothing works. Tried it all -
I am an alien in a post menopausal body and healthcare hasn’t a clue
me too. I haven'gt eaten flour and sugar for over a year and I have PUT ON weight !!!

I'm telling you these diets don't work.. the only thing that works after menopause to lose weight are all the medications for diabetes. I gained 40 lb in 3 years due to menopause. Never lost an ounce and I was cutting out everything and exercising my butt off I think I lost 5 lb in a year... I went on ozempic and I lost 25 lb in 3 months., but because of the shortages even if it's covered by your insurance they won't give it to you anymore and I don't have the money to pay cash for it. So I had to go off of it and have gained almost all of it back but like 8 lb in the matter of a couple of months. So I believe we're just fat now.... I think we're just going to be fat. Unless we all win the lottery and can pay cash for that s***.
Plantbased wholefood also works after menopause.
She knows, because she lives plantbased wholefood too.

Female Health Support Capsules have improved my overall well-being and made managing menstrual issues much easier.
I'm 33 I had to have a hysterectomy and I'm on estrogen and I've gained weight because of it being on that medicine so how can I lose the weight
Still doesn’t work when you take away flour and sugar.
It can be really frustrating when you’re making changes like eliminating flour and sugar but still not seeing the results you want. Sometimes, it might be about other factors like stress, sleep, or hormonal changes. It could also help to look at portion sizes, balance of macronutrients, or even other hidden sources of sugar. If you’re open to it, discussing your journey with a nutritionist or support group might provide some additional insights. You're not alone in this!
Thank you for infos i believed the facts we can getting fatter very fast
Not working for me.
I have no clue either I m 46yrs old first 4/5 kg r easy to get off after that !!!! it just gets stuck !!!, seriously I m not checking my weight anymore rather the inches!! That's it
This just is not true. I’ve been on a low carb diet forever and it’s maddening
OMG I feel your pain because ME TOO! just shoot me!
Hi Elizabeth, how's your day going with you?
If i dont lose the weight ill do liposuction!
No suger of flour 😢
I'm not taking sugar or flour out of the equation. That would be such a boring diet. How about better sugars, like fruit and cane sugar? How about better flours, like imported Italian flour? Eat a Mediterranean diet and move a bit and you should be fine.
That's all we have in our house, because food is expensive now
I know many menauposal ladies now are losing weight without any diets but they use mounjaro injections …I saw amazing results and fast…did someone here tried theses injections?
No this is not that simple
This is blatantly false. I did the sugar and flour free approach, did nothing at all.
Every alleged expert I see tackling menopausal weight gain offers similar useless advice.
And you said nothing!!
Nice try, lady. Not true. And looking at all of the comments, i know I'm not alone.
😂😂😂
Hahah nope
I call bullshit
