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!
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"
Running is hard on the joints too, I might jog in between my fast pace walking but I’m not ego boosting my ego to be competing with younger women So I walk super fast And I’m fit and healthy at 50 and that is all matter And I have ZERO menopause symptoms.. I do my red clover, black cohosh and my chasteberry faithfully.. I went from 145 back to 130 in 3 months and I’m planning on staying and being consistent
It CAN be harder on joints. It depends entirely on the individual. Any science of long time runners doesn’t collectively show they are worse off than nonrunners. In the long term- collectively they have in fact many advantages. Thinking because its higher impact repetitively leaves out a lot of factors like form, build, technique… mileage, enjoyment/joy.
@@Flipping50TV I hear you but what I see in the hospital and I have to refer to the orthopedic surgeon beg the differs, so I jog slow pace or walk fast pace..I want to keep my joints as healthy as possible..I love and enjoy it but want to be wise as well :) Thank you for responding lovely
@@dr.aliadixonnursepractitio6473 what I see as an MD is that lack of intense exercise and obesity is worse for knees than running, etc. Research supports this as well.
Thanks for these tips! I’ll confess that the last one (bike desk) had me watching your adorable puppy more than paying attention to what you were saying 😊
I used to walk after every meal before perimenopause and it really helped keep my weight down. Peri started and everything went downhill then full meno really did me in. Need to get back to the good habits I used to have.
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!
Yes it was great information for me I’m 62 an experienced just what you explained . Never had the belly problem til now. So it totally on spot for me an thank you I got understanding now . And I love the table hike amazing idea . I’ve never seen or heard of one . God bless an thank you have a great day
Learn to say no to any expectations others have/need from you. After a few times of saying no (I don’t feel like it, or sorry I can’t help you) I noticed my stress levels coming down. Find peace. ☮️ I actually learned this from watching my husband.
Thank you so much for your practical and very helpful advice. I'm 44 and already experiencing some pre-menopausal symptoms. By the way, your puppy is so cute!
thanks sooo much, megahelpful..prly not getting a machine but who knows may be one day. all other stuff i made a drawing of on my fridge. sums it up soo well.
Great info & tips. I have a standing desk. I feel better about standing instead of sitting for 8 hours. I'd like more info on the glucose monitoring. I can definitely tell a difference when I eat stretchy vegetables & carbs.
TIP: 1. Use MOTHERS apple cider vinegar (not plain) 2. 1 tbs. in H2O immediately after waking, half hour before meals, and right before going to sleep. 3. Eat less. 4. Myself, I DID loose a lot of belly fat from sit ups, reverse sit ups, and side crunches. But the key is you must understand the body mechanics and specific techniques of each exercise.
Any vinegar actually works!! You likely lost bloat, not fat, found muscle . Not all (most) should do sit ups, crunches or reverse crunches. “The spine only has so many forward Flexion in it” - world renowned back pain specialist Dr Stuart McGill. We don’t get a warning ⚠️ as we approach. We just get the injury
@@Flipping50TV Okay, you're the boss of me! It must be nice to know everything there is to know. Do you know a guy named Mike Tyson? He does 1,000 sit ups and crunches every day. Im sure he wouldn't waste his time doing them if they didn't work. Oh well, what does he know? He's just Mike Tyson! Good bye, boss lady!!

Debra this video answered my question. I am losing weight overall and I see my fluffly belly and I do not like it. I am going to wait until I lose all the weight then I will do crunches. Thank you for all the important info.
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.
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!
I USE TO LOVE VINGER I WULD PUT ON MOSTLY EVERYTHING VEGGIES AND POULTRY and SALADS UNTIL I DEVELOPED A HEALTH CONDITION WHERE I HAVE TO ELIMINATE ALL ACIDIC FOODS AND That's VINEGAR SUGGESTIONS??
Yes. Even vinegar as a part of salad dressing can be beneficial. This may or may not be useful… there are acv capsules. Or you might benefit from betaine HCl
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.
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
Good that you know this!! For the mouth you can bypass with capsules. I’ve decades ago had IBS. Heal it! That’s not a forever thing.. and then it’s not an issue! Hope you’re working with someone who knows this has a root cause and finds it.
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!
Details right here: www.flippingfifty.com/deskbike It's heavy, well made but I managed to put it together myself in about 10 minutes ... and it is super high quality and QUIET!
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 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. 😁
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.
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.
So I've heard from other women compelled to share negative comments! Dont' care... can't stand something on my legs restricting movement. Let's support each other! Jr High called and wants that back!
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 would prefer to take ACV capsules. How much should I take per day?
You’d experiment and take smallest amount before meals . Bottles should give you that information

I cannot use ACV. 😭 Breaks out the inside of my mouth and isn't good for those with IBS because it's fermented.

@@Flipping50TValso vinegar can’t be used by those on a low histamine diet. I will have to look into the pills.
What is table hiking
Thank you for the concise advice. The only thing I’m not sure about is the carb/protein info. As a vegetarian beans are often my protein 🤷♀️
