As I mention in the video I am not a nutritionist or a qualified fitness instructor and you should always double check with your doctor before starting any new diet or exercise routine. Especially if you have any health conditions. I am simply sharing my diet and exercise routine I've been doing and how I’ve managed to get back in shape post menopause and on the road to the kind of fit and healthy body I’m after:)
MY DIET
WHAT I EAT FOR BREAKFAST
Watermelon. Canteloupe. Boiled eggs. Strawberries. Blackberries. Blueberries
Omelette
Spinach
Bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms (No beans or toast and obviously I wouldn’t have this everyday!)
Smoothie with all the berries
(I’m careful with the juices I drink. I avoid orange, apple, pineapple juices and stick with a nice cup of tea or water with a tiny bit of sugar free cordial)
WHAT I EAT FOR LUNCH
Tuna
Chicken
Or cheese Salad (For dressing I use a little bit of Extravirgin olive oil and a tiny splash of balsamic. I avoid pre-made dressings as they are often high in carbs)
Cucumbers
Celery (I often have this with cream cheese as a snack)
I snack on Almonds and walnuts
Avocados (no toast)
Omelette (If you haven’t eaten eggs at breakfast)
Soup- Chicken, Broccoli and stilton, leek, Tomato and Wensleydale- I just try and make sure the per 100g is below 4g of carbs.
DINNER IDEAS
Broccoli. Asparagus. Green beans. Leek. Spinach. Kale. Cauliflower- (Or cauliflower cheese)
Mushrooms. Courgette. Cabbage
(Essentially, I try and have a really good variety of these vegetables every day)
Chicken
Salmon
Seabass
Steak - (We only have this once per week max)
Pork
(I’m careful about sausages as some brands like to ‘fill them out’ with carbs:/ Again I just check the ingredients)
MY EXERCISE ROUTINE
My workout now that I'm after menopause. Start with the weight that is right for you and just build yourself up slowly.
EXAMPLE WEEKLY EXERCISE
Day One
15 minutes arm exercises
15 minutes abs exercises
Day Two
15 minutes legs
15 abs
Day Three
15 minutes arms
15 minutes abs
And repeat throughout the week, alternating between my arms or legs with abs. I try and do 5 days per week of this 30 minute routine, but whatever spare time you have is better than nothing at all.
A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE EXERCISE VIDEOS ON TH-cam
I love the YT channel @Mrandmrsmuscle Their videos are often 15 minutes, they get straight to the point and I feel like they help me work all the different muscle groups.
This is one of my favourite routines for my abs • Lower Abs & Obliques F...
Legs: • Slimmer Thighs Workout...
Arms: • Toned Arms Workout // ...
@fitbymik also has some great videos.
I particularly like this arm workout • 15 min STANDING ARM WO...
I follow Caroline’s circuits on Insta and she’s just launched a youtube channel too • Caroline's Circuits - ...
And for when you just want to dance like no-one is watching @PS_Fit are really fun to just shake it all off!:) • 30-Minute All-Levels C...

Hello, hope you've all had a wonderful week? It's been half term here so pretty busy with the boys and watching far too many action packed movies I wouldn't normally watch haha! So today's video I finally got round to my easy and healthy diet and exercise routine plus my favourite skincare products I've been using. I feel a bit nervous putting this one out there as it's obviously very personal, but if it helps just one person along the way then I'm happy:) I struggled to fit everything into the description box so I shall keep adding tips and points I forgot to mention. I really, really hope you find this video helpful and it gives you a little bit of inspiration, it will be the last time I attempt filming those exercises for a while I think haha! Big hugs everyone, looking forward to hearing from you all:)
A few more tips and links I couldn’t fit into the description box!
. I think it’s really important to never go hungry. If you decided to try out what i eat in a day and your hungry you’re not eating enough. You need to keep your metabolism going to be able to lose weight so keep piling on the green vegetables and try not to skip meals.
. I’m not about fad diets. Been there, done that, and sadly got the t-shirt! And I know from first hand experience they don’t work. Not long term anyhow. It has to be a sustainable way of eating or you’ll never stick with it. It’s the same with exercise too, make it work for you and your lifestyle and you’ll find like I did that it’s much easier to make it a daily routine for good.
. If you have a blowout don’t beat yourself up. A cake is just a cake, it’s really not the end of the world! Spoiling yourself from time to time is good for the soul, I just make sure I don’t let my whole week of eating plan fall apart because of it.
. I don’t really weigh myself much. I know what I weigh and I might pop on the scales every couple of weeks to double check I’m headed in the right direction but I’m certainly not on there every day! I care more about how my clothes fit and what I feel like. Because after all it’s the feeling good bit that’s the best bit of all:)
.I forgot to say, yes I am now on the hrt patches. After a little back and forth with the dosage I'm getting on fine with them. I don't think it's 'one size fits all' when it comes to hormone replacements but in my experience after a little trial and error I got there in the end.
A few outfit links I couldn’t squeeze in:
I’m Wearing:
Spotty shirt bit.ly/3TfkCDQ
Blazer bit.ly/3MC9tuw
Jeans c.klar.na/al/7vUK/
I get a lot of my gym kit here, this sports bra particularly is so soft I often wear it as a normal bra. bit.ly/3fgvPFE
Sweatshirt I’m wearing. Love this brand and the whole aesthetic c.klar.na/al/86J9/
I’ve been a Beauty Pie member for about eight months now and found it paid for itself very quickly. I forgot to mention earlier but they’ve just launched a new Youthbomb cream which is amazing:) bit.ly/3DIDS7m
Wow. I loved this. It must have been so scary to go through a major surgery and then life change like that. Bravo for being brave and putting yourself out there. It’s really inspiring. As a 37 year old woman, I’m always looking at your as my slightly older sis about how to gracefully and beautifully age. ❤
You are such a kind and inspiring person! Thank you for your positive and gentle advice. Do you do any aerobic actvitiy as well (walking, dance?) and do you have any favorite stretching videos? I’ve started with the current videos you shared and loving them so much!
@@BriLamberson Aww that's a sweet comment thank you so much Brianna:) Hope you're having a lovely week x
@@rabiajaffe710 Thank you so much for your kind words:) In all honesty I don't tend to do cardio. I have a heart issue which I have a pacemaker for so cardio makes me too dizzy unfortunately. But I guess nice to know using weights can work just as well for your body if that's the way you decide to go too:) I started using them to tone up, I didn't really think they'd make me lose weight too so that was a happy bonus:) x
@@FashionStyleEdit of course dear. So appreciate you. So far the week is going well. Jessica and I start our Parisian Style 10x10 challenge today on Instagram. 🥰🇫🇷 wooo. Wish us luck.
As a holistic nutritionist who works with “mid life” women, I love how you’ve found the right way of real food eating and moving that is satisfying and works for your body and lifestyle. Well done! 🎉
(PS. Don’t let the “anti-diet culture - body positivity” police shame you into filtering your honest truth and experience. I’ll take honesty and realness over edited political correct conformity any day. We’re all on our own unique journeys and it’s your channel 💕).
Much love to all. 💗
Oh I could cry with that lovely comment Evelyn, thank you:) I really do appreciate your kind words of support. I feel the healthiest and happiest I've been for a long time so I do think that's something worth celebrating. Happy Sunday lovely x
Couldn’t agree more!
Evelyn, so well-said. Body positivity has been miss-used , sometimes even as a weapon to shame people try to encourage healthy lifestyle and try to get fit and a more ideal body weight and image. The other day I just got a comment from a comment I posted several months ago talking about doing exercise to tighten my ab muscles as they are not as flat as before I had my daughter. The person commented said you can be fat and fit at the same time. There is no reason to wanting to be skinny. I actually don't try to be skinny. I just want my stomach to be toned and tight, not fat and flabby. Wanting to be better was considered wrong/un-necessary for some reason.
@@littlelady7843 I think there’s a group of women who want the easy way out. It’s not easy to stay in shape and take care of yourself. It requires dedication and work. The older we get we require more of each the way I see it.
I know there will be women out there who would find this difficult to watch, my mother (who is not too much older) eats a diet very similar to this, exercises as much and does not get anywhere near the same results. I think it’s good for us to remember that this is how Jess has made this routine work for her, very generous for her to share this particularly in relation to the hysterectomy. I had imagined that to keep feeling fit and healthy she would have been making much bigger interventions in her life. Happy and relieved that this is not too onerous routine and she still has a happy fulfilled life despite recent health challenges. Thanks for generosity Jess.
This is a very honest and relatable video and I think it’s very body positive and encouraging, not body shaming in any way. Keep up the great content and work, Jess.
Thank you so much Monica, I really do appreciate that:) x
Dear Jess. I also have been noticing that you look leaner and more toned and was wondering what you’ve been doing. Thank you for being vulnerable and letting us see your diet and exercise. I have so many friends dealing with hormonal health or menopause issues (including myself) and I love that you were so open to talk about it. You’ve inspired me to really look at my diet and see where I can improve! Thanks again! ❤
Hello Daniela, thank you so so much for that lovely comment it means a lot 🙏 U think a lot of women are going through the same thing so although I wasn’t sure if I should talk about it, hearing it might have helped in some small way definitely makes it worthwhile:) For too many years in my 20s I did silly unsustainable diets and tried really hard at exercising but always hated it🤣 So to get to the stage where I wake and look forward to working out is actually a bit of a revelation for me! I never thought I would be that person and it’s exciting to be in such a healthy place both body and mind:) I’m wishing you the best of luck with your own healthy plan and if you ever need any help or advice I’m always happy to share what I’ve been learning along my the way x
Good morning, Jess. This was a wonderful video to inspire us all to keep a structured routine each day so that we can have a healthy and fulfilling life. When I reached menopause at the age of 52, I looked pregnant. I worked with a dietitian and discovered I was eating foods that affected my middle area and my gut health. It was an eye-opener for me. I have a petite stature and never had problems with my weight. I worked out 5 days a week at the gym, but nothing was helping. When I changed what I was eating, it helped tremendously. I too, worked out during the lockdown with a wonderful instructor on TH-cam. It is called Nourish, Move, Love. I no longer go to the gym. I love waking up each morning to head downstairs (and I am retired) at 6 AM and placing out my mat and computer, just like you, to begin my 25 to 30 minute workout. I also take walks three days per week in my neighborhood. I am 65 now. I have gone off my healthy eating just a bit, so this video comes at a good time. You inspired me to get back to eating healthy for ALL my meals. However, I am going to NYC next week and it will be difficult to avoid the wonderful food they have. I am trying to convince my husband to eat healthy, but he loves to cook and eat. You are just so lovely and helpful. I am glad that you are feeling your best.
I had a forced hysterectomy this year too (cancer) at 41 and I’m in need of a reset after that whole ordeal. Thank you for the motivation! ❤ just heading home to the states after a 10 day trip thru Ireland, ready to get back on a healthy schedule. Definitely craving it!
Hi Jamie, so sorry you’ve been through such a tough time, I hope you’re coming out the other side a bit now and feeling better. I have found that following this routine has been as good for my mind as it has been for my body. Just having something to focus on that’s just for me and setting myself the challenge really. I actually find it quite therapeutic and it’s a great stress reliever. Sending you big hugs and do let me know how you get on with your new healthy schedule after your travels 😘
1 avocado with a little balsamic vinegar and one egg. Hard boiled or poached is VERY healthy for you. Skin, lowers LDL, it lowers blood pressure. Buttermilk is also very good for your skin and is high in calcium among other benefits. I found flavored balsamic. Blackberry Ginger Is my favorite.
Elemis is the skin care I use. Elemis is from London. Its a wonderful product.
This is just a suggestions to change up your your breakfast.
loved watching this. I went through menopause. I am very dedicated to fitness. I have been working out consistently since I was 28. Itreally is a lifestyle. I cook from scratch so I know what goes into things. I am a pescatarian and lactose intolerant. By living this lifestyle I was able to avoid the mid section spread. It's not easy, I replaced excuses with results and like you, I work out first thing in the morning. It keeps the calories burning longer and it gets it done so I can get on with my day. I won't lie, I work out roughly 3 hours a day seven days a week. It's not easy. But it needs to get done.
So sorry you had to have surgery, but congratulations on your eating plan and obviously successful fitness program. You look great 😊
Thank you Debi, I really appreciate that:) Now that I'm over the initial recovery it feels so good to start feeling fit and healthy again and actually enjoying the exercise has been a bit of a revelation for me! x
You look amazing, thanks for sharing !
Wow, wow wow! I had no idea! I had noticed from your videos that you were looking particularly gorgeous lately but didn’t know about the hysterectomy, although I remember you had an op a while ago. As you say, personal choice as to whether to live this lifestyle but I’m in the camp that ‘nothing tastes as good as healthy feels’. I totally love your honesty and you proving that you don’t have to pile on the pounds after menopause. Guessing you are taking some sort of HRT though which is slightly different than for those of us further along the journey without that benefit.
Thank you for sharing and total respect for going for what you want whilst juggling work, children and running your gorgeous home. Lots of love xxx
Thanks so much Julia, it's certainly been a funny old year I know that much! But in a good way I guess, after the pain of course, but I feel healthier now than I have for such a long time and maybe the operation was the nudge I needed to be more determined. Work, kids, house, bills just life in general is hectic isn't it but I think before I didn't leave a space just for me which the exercise part is filling nicely:) I am on the hrt patches, goodness knows how hard it would have been without that so I'm thankful it's been so promoted recently. Right oh, I'm been shouted at to make sandwiches for hungry boys as we speak! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend Julia and thanks again for watching x
Jess, thank you sooo much for such an honest and very personal video. Your tips and advise are really helpful and you give them in such a motivational way. This was your first workout video but I hope it’s not the last. Well done you👏🏻👏🏻💪💪🥰🥰
I so appreciate that comment Rosanne, thank you:) I feel like I've bared my soul a little bit in this video so I was nervous putting it out there. I'm just happy people seem to be finding it helpful Though I think this probably will be my last ever workout video haha, it is so complicated to try and film that bit! Happy Sunday lovely and thank you again for your kind words x
@@FashionStyleEdit Really enjoyed this content too x Happy Sunday Jess. Caro
@@carospinks Thank you so much to you too Caro, so happy you enjoyed it x
Love this. I'm floundering a bit having hit 52 and got overweight due to injury and now hormones (I'm lucky to have got to this age without issue) for the first time ever. Your "diet" is exactly how I like to eat and I'm realising that consistency is key now.
I love this, thank you so much for sharing Jess! I’m saving this video for whenever I need motivation (which will be a lot 🤣) You look fabulous ❤
Hello gorgeous, always lovely to hear from you:) So happy to hear you enjoyed the video, seemingly not one I could squeeze into 10 minutes haha! But so happy to hear you found it motivational, big hugs lovely x
Such a sensible, down to earth program, Jess. I’ve been meaning to tell you for some time now how wonderful you are looking, so well done you!! after suffering an injury in July, I have been told to let it heal, and the inactivity has been horrible for me. Almost at the end of that period, so looking forward to getting active again. I love your exercising advice, truly the best way to approach this change. I’ll be taking on a lot of your tips. Hope you are feeling as great as you look! Thank you for your honesty in this video! 🥰👏
Thank you Jess for such an honest and motivating video. I am 69 years old, My eating style is very much like yours and has been for 40 years, but I have been ignoring exercise lately, this is the motivation I needed to put some exercise back into my routine. Have a wonderful week ahead.
So happy to hear I’ve motivated you a little Barbara😘 It gets like that for us all sometimes with everything really, from a style rut to our healthy lifestyles, sometimes just a friendly reminder of how good it feels is all it takes x
Thanks so much for this Jess. I beat myself up if I don’t exercise for an hour 4 to 5 times a week, and you have made me realise that half an hour is much more doable, and clearly works for you. You look amazing.
Hi Andrea, oh I know that feeling, that’s what I used to be like! Always disappointed with myself that I hadn’t done more exercise! But honestly just that half an hour 5 times a week is all I’ve done and I can really feel the difference. I’m thinking perhaps it would have gone quicker had I done an hour each day but I know I’d have given that up pretty quickly:/ Slow and steady wins the race with this I think😘
Congratulations on finding a combination of diet and exercise that works for you as it clearly shows! My hubby and I started our health journey about 2 years ago by following a clean, simple diet almost identical to yours. We both feel amazing…have lost weight, have more energy, and sleep better. I also follow and love Caroline’s circuit training too! Keep us posted on your progress😊
Good morning Lori, hope you're having a lovely weekend so far:) I'm so happy to hear you and your Husband have found a similar diet you enjoy and just how fantastic it's making you feel! It's lovely when that happens isn't it. Years of trying silly diets and then finally you hit upon a really simple idea that makes you feel amazing! The sleeping better is a huge help too isn't it, when that runs smoothly everything else is soooo much easier. Big hugs Lori and I'm so happy to hear you've enjoyed eating like this too x
Totally agree! Little and often, nothing daunting. I commit to three exercises max per workout and anything extra is a bonus. It’s always at that 6 week mark of trying something new that you start to see the difference.
I’ve just started Pilates and can’t wait to see how it sculpts me in a few weeks. It’s so gentle, yet tough to do what you think looks simple. The hollow hold and 100s, my word, they work the transverse abs like you’d never believe!
I workout from home too.. if I went to the gym, I’d spend 30 mins making myself presentable to the public, drive to the gym, workout, drive home, shower, get ready for the day and that’s 2 hours at least gone. Just not practical! Whereas at home, all of that is condensed to 1 hr tops. And I can do it in my pyjamas or underwear with a hair mask in! 😂
On days when I really don’t feel like working out or my body is sore, I’ll either go for a walk or watch a programme and do steps on the spot at home. That 30 mins of cardio definitely gets your heart rate up and lymph moving. Steps are so underrated. Especially a little while after a carb heavy meal. It’s great for dispersing the glucose around the body into your muscles rather than sitting still and letting the excess turn to stored body fat. I also love ‘exercise snacks’ which are quick bouts of movement throughout the day without even getting changed into workout gear. Whilst the kettle is boiling, do 50 body weight squats all in one go and feel how breathless that makes you! Definitely will put the metabolism into active mode! Or whilst brushing your teeth, do calf raises. Whilst chatting on the phone, do arm circles.
It’s now such a habit for me and has does wonders to my self esteem that I just know I can sustain it for life and will never be sedentary again.
Good video, thank you. I'm going to try to get started on some exercise.☺
Thanks so much for watching Tammy:) I've actually now made my private 'workout' playlist public so everyone can see the videos I'm doing. It might be helpful to get you started x
Well done for not giving up with the exercise and doing what you can. It's amazing how a little goes a long way. It doesn't have to be all or nothing hours in a gym or not worth doing anything. Makes you feel good at the start of your day too!
Thank you so much. I love this upload. It is so real and good for healthy.
That was a great video Jess - really inspiring. I'm amazed at how well you look after going through such a major operation. I'm 20 years older than you (now 62) and went through the menopause at 54 and it definitely affected what I could comfortably eat and drink without putting on weight. I'm happy with my weight at the moment but need to do some more targeted exercises in order to tone up so will have a look at your video suggestions. There has been so much negative news about the menopause recently with so many "celebrities" cashing in on "my menopause hell" that it's good to get a positive take on it from you. (I know some women suffer a lot but you've shown it's not all doom and gloom)
Thank you Jess, I have started exercising since May and lost a stone now which feels amazing! I am still very much on my journey to the perfect weight and everything you said - really makes sense. Thank you as always for inspiration! 👍❤️
Good for you Vicky, it sounds like you're enjoying the process as much as I am:) So happy to hear you liked the video x
That white half zip sweater was beautiful ❤️
Thank you Jess for making this video as it took great courage. I applaud you for your honesty. I have noticed all of the slim ladies over 40 follow this same low carb lifestyle. I am 48 and I will be incorporating more vegetables into my diet. Thank you again 💓 😊
I’m inspired, no matter what body shape, we all have issues we are working through, and these videos will push me a bit, even if its just running for .85 miles every day 😊
That's so true, some exercise is always better than no exercise:) And I can't tell you how much better I feel since doing it. So happy you enjoyed the video and thank you for letting me know x
LOVE this video, liked and saved in "Jess" folder! Many people say they hate veggies but look for recipes online to spice them up and you will start to crave them. In the US everyone wears a nude lip and I love your pop of color so will try the orange red. Also, lululemon is so popular here but expensive so I found dupes on Amazon for half the price but still amazing quality. I agree about the scale and we should celebrate the non-scale victories like better mood, better sleep, better fitting clothes, and a healthier, stronger vessel to move through our day. I surprised my brother by lifting his very heavy suitcase. Thanks Jess and have a wonderful week!
Just wait…… when I turned 45 the weight just starting sneakily added on despite exercise and a decent diet. I’ve had to go keto and exercise like crazy to just maintain and if I let up in the slightest it sneaks back on. I’ve never had a weight problem in my life! I’m almost 49 now and this depresses me more than ever.
You inspire me so much. Thank you for being honest and open about a sensitive topic for many. You are a lovely human being. Keep up the great work. You look amazing! ❤️
Aww thank you for that comment Cee Win, I really appreciate your kindness and I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Big hugs lovely x
Hey Jess, thanks for sharing this, it is really inspirational. I am going through natural menopause and am finding some symptoms make it hard for me to find the energy/ enthusiasm for exercise.
It’s good to hear someone saying, “no, I’m not going to give in to the thick middle etc etc.
Just one little gripe. You often say that you can’t show bits of your body or you “aren’t there yet”. Trust me, you are there! I can’t see anything about your body most women wouldn’t kill for. It’s just quite hard for people like me who struggle massively with weight and diet to hear that from someone so fortunate with their figure/ looks.
I hope this makes sense?.. I loved the vid but wish you would celebrate how great you look! 🤗
Great video, thanks for sharing. I think you always looked great and the 'new you' looks even more fabulous! Keep up the good work!
Aww thanks Heather, I appreciate that:) x
Really enjoyed this video, just the inspiration I need. Thank you
I'm so happy to hear that thank you Deborah x
Thanks for talking so generously about that topic. You're very inspiring. This video is surely very helpful for many women !
Well done you ! Honest and open, I applaud you for that. Not easy having menopause thrust on you so young. It’s important to feel happy in your skin, which is what you said throughout the video. Many of us found lockdown gave us new ways of staying fit, like you I use utube classes first thing in the morning and it’s the first time I’ve stuck to an exercise regime , which wouldn’t have happened had it not been for lockdown. Thank you for being so open , your brave and strong. X
Thanks Jess. I will admit, though I eagerly look forward to watching your videos on Sunday mornings, when I saw this topic, I was not excited. However, today (Monday) I decided to watch it and am so glad that I did. I have noticed how fabulous you look, the toning is really evident. Your eating tips were practical (though, I don't think that I can eat exactly like you), I am focusing more on protein and vegetables, however, do have an addiction to chocolate as well. However, portion control really helps me. I also started doing an at home 30 minute TH-cam routine 5 days a week during lockdown. However, now I am back at the gym a couple of days a week and just need to add more cardio. The key take-away that I got from your workout was that you focus on abs every workout. I will be adding this to my routine as well. Thank you very much! xo
This is awesome, Jess! Your hard work is paying off: you look radiant and so trim and toned🌸 Fantastic tips too: you’ve inspired me 🙂
Dear Jess, thank you for being such a great example of self control and self awareness!!!!! And proving me one more time that our stomach shouldn’t be our master!!!!! One day you will be a great role model for your daughters-in-law ;-)❤ thank you so much for this video!!!!!!!!!!
A very inspiring video. Thank you for sharing this. The half an hour tip is so true! You look great
Aww I really, really appreciate that thank you:) Half an hour is so handy isn't it. People told me I'd never get toned on that but it was all the spare time I had and I'm finding it really works for me. Happy Sunday lovely and thanks again for popping by x
Bravo on this video. Medically induced Menopause is no joke. It gives me hope that it is possible to maintain a healthy weight. HRT not an option for me unfortunately and the non hormonal options aren’t great.
It was incredibly tough in the beginning, and yet somehow I kept filming videos in just a month afterwards, goodness knows how I managed that! I wouldn’t stress about the hrt, if it’s not right for you it’s not right. You’ll find the best route that suits you it’s just a bit of trial and error to get there. What about herbal remedies, have you tried any of these options? x
@@FashionStyleEdit yes exhausted all herbal routes so now on prescription non hormonal meds one at a time till I find one that helps. Menopause isn’t for the faint hearted unless you’re one of the lucky ones who breeze through it.
Thanks for this Jess. I’m having a total hysterectomy in December and have been dreading the side effects of hitting menopause abruptly (I’m currently peri). This has given me inspiration and more hope that I can get through it ok. Thanks again.
Hello lovely, aah I'm so happy I could help a little ease your worries. The side effects are obviously different for everyone but it certainly didn't feel as drastic for me as everyone made out. I've had to work harder than before for sure, but not impossible at all. Go easy on yourself and remember that it will all feel so much better in the end:) x
Jess been low carb, no sugar for over 2 years and in the process discovered my forever eating routine. Good, timely video as I’m trying to add more exercise. Absolutely loved your scrambled egg analogy, spot on.
Haha I forgot I said that! Yes! It made perfect sense in my own head so I'm glad someone else knew what I was talking about! How do you find the no sugar? Do you literally do zero sugar or do you allow yourself the odd bit from time to time? That's something I've wanted to do too for health reasons more than anything but I just can't seem to banish them completely:/ x
@@FashionStyleEdit I only eat sugar if we go out to dinner for a family birthday, I will have a bite or two of desert. (Reading the ingredients on ALL products with a nutrition label is important. Here in the US there is some form of sugar in most all products.) Interestingly the less sugar you eat the less you want. Probably two weeks to a month of no sugar I no longer had sugar cravings. And that is a common comment from those following keto eating. And finally, I too am/was a chocoholic. If you get serious about no sugar but need a substitute occasionally for coffee, tea, etc good options are stevia, monk fruit and erythritol blend and allulose if you can tolerate. Good luck.
To think that induced menopause put you in this predicament (in a good way of course) is mind blowing! You always looked amazing but lately I was noticing this transformation of abs, a glow and all around a difference in your appearance. Thank you for sharing your personal and very motivational video, of this incredible journey of gorgeousness!! 😉Definately a routine I can try! Can I idolise you any more!! haha 🤩
Hello my lovely, thank you so much for those kind words:) I know right, bonkers really! I have a trail of failed diets and exercise routines behind me and the one time it actually works is when I'm forced into the menopause! So happy to hear you found it motivational, that makes my day hearing things like that. And all these lovely comments have made me realise it was the right decision to share my story. Happy Sunday hun x
You look fabulous, and so youthful, your skin is glowing…❤
Thank you for sharing your journey, I'm into menopause and frustrated with weight gain. I think I'll try the half hour...again thanks for sharing 👍 🙏 😊
Hi Suzette, it is a strange and often frustrating time isn't it, but it does feel nice to finally be enjoying exercise and I think a lot of that has to do with making it a lot more manageable to fit in with my lifestyle:) x
Hi Jess, I’m a fitness trainer & it’s great to see you fitting in your exercise & staying consistent. Since 2020 I moved online teaching 30 minute classes & ‘bitesize’ sessions that are 10 minutes a day which although short are super effective. If I could offer a little advice it would be to ensure you are having good fats & complex carbohydrates for energy & ensure the classes you are following are taught by a qualified instructor. Many online are ‘fitness influencers’ teaching their own workout which may not be suitable for everyone. Ultimately we need to find what gives us joy, makes us feel good & keeps our
body & bones healthy. Lifting weights is essential for muscle mass & bone health , mid thirties & beyond. Hope this is helpful, have a great day.
This was great! Can you link your gym kit items please?
Thanks so much Heather:) I had to link everything I’m wearing in my comment I pinned to the top as I ran out of room in the description box x
Greetings from Arizona 🌵
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching Ruth, hope you enjoyed it😘
Thanks for another great video. I'd love to see a recent hair/makeup tutorial video :)
My pleasure and yes I could do with filming a new one of those:) x
This is really inspiring Jess, and you look incredible!!! I’m 45 and we’ll into peri menopause and have been meaning to start some exercises for ages now (you know how it is😂) and you’ve really given me the push to get on it! So thank you!💗 xxx
Aah I'm so happy I've given you that little nudge of motivation Lynsey, I think we all need that sometimes:) Once I got into the exercise and got over that initial ouch of doing it I started looking forward to it! Such a revelation for me as I don't think I'd say I had ever 'enjoyed' exercising, I slugged my way through it haha! But this time it's been different and I think part of that was about setting aside a reasonable amount of time to it that I could stick with much better. Wishing you the best starting out with it lovely, as my friend said to me in the beginning, you'll never regret the workouts you do x
@@FashionStyleEdit absolutely, I think the setting aside quality time, and especially early before everyone else wakes up, is definitely going to be the way forwards for me. I’m planning on getting up an hour earlier tomorrow morning to kick start things. Thanks again Jess, I absolutely love your content, you’re one super stylish lady! 😊 xxx
This was amazing- thank you!!! I went through the same thing at 40. I had a complete hysterectomy and I gained 25 pounds- argh! I have been really struggling to lose the weight and get toned. This was very inspiring and I plan to incorporate some of your tips. So much gratitude for you Jess 🙏🏻🫶🏼🤩😍
Aww I can’t tell you have happy I am to hear you found it inspiring 🙏 40 is very young to go through that isn’t it, and such a mixture of emotions that when you throw in the weight gain it doesn’t help you feel yourself does it. I can honestly say I feel better now than I have for many years, all those tonnes are vegetables are definitely agreeing with me🤣 And a little bit of exercise really can go a long way. Do let me know how you get on lovely and if you find any new tips I’m always happy to hear x
I'm super happy for you that you found something that works for you. As a nutritionist I do hope you can find a 80/20 balance and enjoy some treats here and there :). Hope you add in enough healthy fats as well and be mindfull about missing certain micronutrients. Sorry , can't help myself wanting to give some tips 😂. Enjoy your day 🌞
Aah a nutritionist, we need your expert advice 🙌🏻 Please tip away my lovely, both me and I’m sure the other subscribers are always grateful for the advice. I’ve started taking some multi vitamins now too just to help capture anything I’m missing. And yes you’re absolutely right about the good fats. I struggle finding fairly low carb fibre if you’ve got any ideas on that? Perhaps to add into the mix at breakfast time so it has time to burn off throughout the day x
You look amazing Jess. Thanks for sharing. I’m menopausal and struggling with my weight so to know I can make a difference with just 30mins daily is great.
Thank you Jess. Much like yourself, I was thrust into menopause 6 years ago due to having a full hysterectomy too. I have hereditary Lynch syndrome. Long and the short I have an inherited gene mutation which increases my chances of developing colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer. My chances of developing either is upwards of 70%. Since I was no longer going to have children,I had a preventive hysterectomy. I had everything removed. Now don’t be jealous, I also have colonoscopies annually. Avoiding belly fat is very difficult once you are in menopause. Despite living an active lifestyle, I found myself gaining weight. When my daughter became engaged last November and set a wedding date for this coming June, i decided this is it. I have to take an honest look at my diet. As with most mother of the brides, I want to appear more Baywatch than whale 🐳 watch. In any event, my diet was crap. Now I follow a very similar Mediterranean diet and I have seen an improvement. I’ll never be as thin as I was in my early 20’s, however I have a lot more energy. I’m back to being able to cycle 20 miles in 58 minutes. With that said, thank you for the video suggestions. I need to incorporate more weight training into my workouts. It’s so important for those of us in menopause. On a final note, I may not have eaten bread since Easter. However I do allow myself one small piece of dark chocolate daily ❤
Wow!!
Good wow or bad wow? Hopefully the former! Hope you're having a lovely week Paula x
This is a fantastic video, although I wasn't thrown into menopause, I did go through it at 51. Since I had been strength training at the time, I never needed hormone replacement therapy. I believe even Dr's are still guessing at it, so muscle strength is helpful for almost every ailment I have read about. You are right, exercise is cumulative, and the outcome is ongoing, and always in motion. So true, doing SOMETHING, is better especially almost daily, than doing nothing, also good for our state of mind. At 65, I have learned that this is all a part of "loving ourselves" a lifelong course!
I adore you and your channel Jess I have to say this is one of your very best videos, thank you. I have adopted a low carb high protein eating regime also including some intermittent fasting - in 5 weeks I have close to reversed my diabetes lowered high inflammatory levels and lost 18 pounds - just need to improve my sleep. I’ve also taken up Pilates and strength training. I will try Beauty Pie
Loved this video. Great to see you doing so well after a huge surgery. I think it is great that you take the time for yourself to workout. You look lovely as always.
Adore your channel, Jess! And love this video in particular❤ how long did it take you to reach your perfect weight eating this way?
Thanks so much lovely, so glad you enjoyed this little chit chat:) It doesn't take long tbh because when I have a bit of a splurge and put on a few pounds it takes a couple of weeks eating like this again to get back to where I was. The exercise routine made all the difference. I wanted to look toned from it but of course the knock on effect was losing weight which I hadn't really thought about. And it made me lose weight from areas that had never really shifted before? Just all round feeling so much better really so if you do it sensibly it can make you feel great:) x
Morning lovely, yay you did it!
You look fantastic and it’s great when you feel so wonderful isn’t it.
Really helpful, thank you 😘
As you know I’ll be in the same boat regards the hysterectomy, hopefully in the next few months. Since loosing all my weight, still want to loose half a stone, I’m trying to tone now.
Mrs Muscle definitely burns 😂🤣 but in a good way haha!
Have a great Sunday and a fantastic week ahead lovely. Take care xx
Boho beautiful is great if you like yoga, I try and practice 3 times a week.
Also meditation, although not “exercise” is just as important and learning how to use your breath is just the best gift you can give yourself xx
Good morning lovely, you know I was nervous about posting this one but I did it! And by the sounds of it people are finding it helpful so that's reassuring:) Mr and Mrs muscle are fab aren't they! Though I see less of the Mr and more of the Mrs haha! You are doing so incredibly well lovely on your new health kick and I'm so happy for you. Onwards and upwards lovely, I hate the saying but in this instance it's very true, you've got this:) x P.S. Love the tip about the meditation, I think I might introduce a sprinkle of this at bedtime to help me wind down x
Great video. I had a radical hysterectomy at 33yrs and hit menopause hard. Than again in my 50s it hit again but not so bad.. thankyou it is good to see your video again now we are back from our Bali trip.
Oh wow Freda that is so young, that must have been tough to go through. It’s a strange and consuming time isn’t it but thankfully you’re out the other side now by the sounds of it. And wait a minute, Bali!! Whoop whoop, very jealous! I bet that was amazing wasn’t it x
Absolutely a wonderful time was had by us. We bought lots of wooden carved statues and carved masks . Of course lots of silver jewellery beautiful handmade pieces ❤. You would love the country as the people are really beautiful. I had to let my children 2 and 3 go live with our parents for six months as the op was major in the 80s .cut from side to side 😖 awful .
Thank you, thank you, thank you! After all the videos I have watched on weight gain after menopause, yours has finally made sense. This is actually doable and I can’t thank you enough ❤
Oh it’s my absolute pleasure Sandra thank you ☺️ I’m so happy to hear you found it helpful. In the beginning lots of people told me 1/2 an hour would never be enough but I can really feel the difference and it works wonders for your mind too:) Do let me know how you get on if you try out any of the videos, they can seem tough at first but they do get easier pretty quickly x
Thank you for the inspiration!!!
Hi jess, I admire your energy and and 5 daily routine regime and sticking to it. You eat healthy and it shows. I am 58 , and thick around my middle , I am a present trying to be good , but it is hard to get motivated. I need my clothes to fit me comfortably.!!!!
Thank you for this Jess, it is very inspirational. I feel like I could squeeze in 30 minutes a day but I really need to know that I am doing the right exercises for me with my hip and feet problems. At 63 I have started to walk (stagger) like a much older person and I am sure that with the right help I could improve this. I'm seeing a physio this week so this could be the first step on my journey. Great video.
Dear Jess! Loved this video. I am 47 and had to reduce my carb and sugar consumption a few years ago in order to maintain my weight too. I do exercise 4 to 5 times a week and I love it. It makes me feel healthy or like a scrambled egg 🥚 😁 .Anyway thanks for the great video and your honesty 👍
Haha my scrambled egg analogy was so random but at least you got what I was on about! It's a nice way to eat just generally isn't it and although I've used the word diet in the title I actually think it's a healthy way to eat for life. I could probably do with a bit more fibre which I'm trying to work in but other than that I actually love all the veg:) It sounds like you have a good routine too, 4-5 times a week exercising is brilliant. I often find if I have a few days off it's harder to start again, do you find that? So in some ways it's just easier to keep it going rather than having to start again! Happy Sunday Shital and thanks as always for stopping by x
@@FashionStyleEdit It's totally a healthy way of eating! Nuts, flaxseed, chaiseeds, oatmeal are a great source of fibre. I eat them with my fruit in the morning, soak them overnight in coconut milk or kefir.
Yes.... it is not easy to start with exercise after a break. I try to avoid a longer break 🙃 You know I am always going to think of you when I make my scrambled eggs or when I am lifting my weights! My muscles are turning into scrambled eggs 😁 Have a great week Jess!
Wow, most inspirational video I’ve watched. I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you so so much:) What a lovely thing to say and I really do appreciate it x
Hi Jess, as i am going to try this way of eating im really looking forward to it, can you tell me the sauce that was over the chicken in the recepies you showed and also over the fish please, would love to know ! As im ready to get going !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Many thanks x
I've been watching now for about a year now and love your style and admire you. So this was great. I like the English breakfast platter idea and a reminder to cook fish! I always a like to have something sweet with my coffee, like a pastry but just need to grab some fruit.. plain and simple. I think some people need to know and maybe just be reminded that toning down and getting Healthy is WAY more than looking good.. its to prevent injuries and disease. I'm a nurse and worked more and exercised less and ate less healthy over the last two years, put on 20 lbs and have trochanteruc bursitis, tendonopathy and labrel tear and can barely walk after being an avid hiker, tennis player and golfer.. so thanks for this video, you're one of my mentors, this with a large supply of Voltaren cream will be on my way back to the driving range😄🧘♀️🚴♀️ or at least be able to walk soon.
I had a hysterectomy about 36 years ago and have never gained a pound! I eat anything I want, in moderation and feel bad for women when they're told there's a good chance you'll put on weight! Maybe just as you're waiting to heal. Then just live your life! God bless!
Love this jess... I am 10 years older than u and I had same experience.. So I decided I wasn't goin to let the menapause get me down. Simple tweeks in my diet and exercise plan... I healthier than I ever been and my weight hasn't spiralled out of control. I feel well. So i completely get u on this. 😊
Absolutely loved this video. Thank you Jess xxx
Thank you so much for the inspiring and motivating video. I am ready to slowly start a routine similar to yours! You covered so much info that I feel is in line with my past experiences. Can you share the range of carbs you eat in a day, or maybe you don't have to count due to the clean diet you follow? Really appreciate your TH-cam channel - fashion as well!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video lovely and found it helpful:) It’s just a really honest reflection of where I am right now and I guess how stubborn I was about wanting to get toned 🤣 I am really careful with the carbs I eat but obviously do still eat small amounts. The majority coming from the vegetables I eat which I try to have lots of so I get the fibre in my diet too. I eat a lot of strawberries too! Especially when that sweet tooth comes knocking a bowl of strawberries has become my go to🙌🏻 I’ll often have strawberries and melon in the morning too, especially once it starts to get warmer, feels a nice fresh breakfast to start the day with. Best of luck on your fitness journey, I’m always here for any help or encouragement if you need it x
This video is so inspiring to me!!! Thank you for all your shared and your encouragement. Going to try you suggestions this month and see how it works for me
This is Brilliant thank you!
Thank you so much Gillian:) x
This is so helpfull and just in the correct moment! I need to pick up myself, at 61 year I look young but do not feel fit and need to shed a few kilo's as well! you just motivated me, thank you for that!
Buongiorno 🤗 fashion and style edit ti auguro una splendida domenica sei bellissima. 🙌🌄 baci dalla Italia 🇮🇹 Xoxo muah 😘💨💕
Grazie mille Stella:) Spero davvero che il video di oggi ti sia piaciuto e che ti abbia dato alcune idee e tanti adorabili prodotti per la cura della pelle. Buona domenica x
I find you diet to be very healthy and balanced. I eat very similar to you. My downfall is good ice cream but with my husband being diabetic I make myself walk to the ice cream store rather than bringing any into the house. That said, it’s a four mile walk so I think I can have one scoop now and then. Now…… that being said, when I’m in England I have to have fish and chips because no where near where I live makes them like the Brits
Haha that made me giggle! It reminds me of my best friend from school... she used to treat herself to a bag of crisps and ate them while running on the spot! Haha, terrible for your indigestion but there was a method to her madness! I have a sweet tooth too Gretchen, I like to think it's good for the soul though:) And if we're careful and healthy elsewhere a little ice-cream won't hurt will it:) Thanks so much for watching lovely and hoping you're having a wonderful week so far x
Loved this vid, instantly clicked on it when I saw the thumbnail as I've always admired your figure and style! That's a great tip to focus half the daily exercise routine on the part that we most want to improve, thanks!
This is so helpful Jesse thank you!
It's my absolute pleasure Joanna:) x
Hi Jess I really enjoyed this video and I’ve got to say I love your vlog style videos which you used to do a lot more of 😊x
Thank you so much Alex, so glad you enjoyed it:) The vlog style unfortunately opens creators up to so much criticism which is hard when it's our personal lives so that does make me think twice about doing them too often unfortunately. Not the best day at work being told I'm not a real woman after such an honest and heartfelt video:/ x
Oh God I understand , I look at the comments some people leave and I’m flabbergasted to why they even watch
Rise above and don’t let them get to you which I know will be hard because your a nice person ❤️xxx
Thank you so much for your video. It is very helpful. ❤
It's my pleasure Ewa, thanks so much for watching and letting me know you enjoyed it x
I did the same years ago but it actually caused lots of issues. When you get older you need enough calcium for bones. I gave up milk for the diet, big mistake. Need to take enough supplements and vit D
Aah yes I should have said I do still drink milk. Not copious amounts but tea just isn’t right without a little milk! Though not exactly low carbs I didn’t find having milk or no milk make much difference overall and like you mention the calcium is actually helpful x
Love watching your styling videos!👢 But I also enjoyed this video. I am on a weight loss journey of my own and I am trying to get more healthy. So I found this video helpful. Thank you!💛
Thank you so much for sharing this Jess! I didn't realize you had such major surgery last summer. You just inspired many of us to put our minds towards better living. The way you've broken down the exercises to small chunks is a great idea. I am not sure I can get rid of bread, but I have recently managed to banish chocolate and cookies at least. I do need the disclipine to exercise early enough to make sure I get it done. I have been very focused on my mom but have let some of my good health habits suffer in the meantime. I am going for washboard abs now! ❤
Ooh I'm jealous you've managed to banish the chocolate Karen, that is something I struggle with! I've really cut down but I do still need it from time to time:) So happy to hear you found this video inspiring, that was all I intended to do:) Big hugs lovely x
Thank you so much Jess for sharing such personal information to help us all. 🙏🏻 Great tips for us all I think. Well done for making the changes and most importantly for being happy with your routine. ❤ Thank you for the links to your fitness playlist. I’ve not heard of Caroline’s Circuits before so I’m definitely going to check her out.
This was amazing, great information, i am definitely going to take lots of your tips and put them into action ! You really do look fantastic. Thankyou x
Aww so happy to hear you enjoyed it Tracy and hopefully you found it helpful:) It's been an interesting year of change but I'm so happy to be feeling like myself again only a happier, healthier version:) x
Thanks for great content. Was wondering if you have idea suggestions for snacks between meals (this is my biggest challenge:-)
Hi Annabelle, yes the snacks are a little trickier eating like this I must admit. However I would say if you eat properly and really fill yourself up at meal times you shouldn't want the snacks as much. Saying that I always keep a bag of walnuts, almonds etc handy and I love a bit of celery with cream cheese. Anything like that that's really easy to have to hand when you're on the go always helps. x
So proud of you ❤
Aww thank you:) That comment warms my heart x
Absolutely 🤗 looooved it X You are an inspiration....
Thank you so much Mandy x
Great video and message , its about doing what makes you happy in your own skin, i believe in you are what you eat and the days i eat healthy delicious food i feel better than the days i eat junk , and i do have junk days ! That always leave me feeling like ive had a junk day !! , And being post menopause i know the importance of keeping my body strong and supple , but your right , it has to suit your life and the time you hsve or its undoable !!! Is that a word ??? Thankyou for great inspiring tips 🌼
Morning Jess, I ABSOLUTELY ❤️ this video , I am inspired to go dance like no one is watching 😂, even though I am standing on my feet for 9 hrs a day in the shop I still feel I need to move and stretch more ….I have subscribed to your faves and going to get moving more so thanks a million for inspiring us…And you look amazing so don’t be so hard on yourself lovely , it’s good though to feel strong in yourself as we age for sure , we are superwomen 😂😂😂…. Sending love xxx
Aww thank you gorgeous:) Those dance routines are soooo much fun! I mean, I look a complete plonker doing it but I'm having a lovely time haha! I don't know how you do it standing all day in store would hurt my back a lot so yes I reckon a bit of jumping around afterwards would probably relax all those muscles again:) Happy Sunday Shelley, big hugs x
@@FashionStyleEdit Don’t know how I do it either 😂😂😂😂😂
Great video…obviously all works as you look amazing ❤
Hi Jess, thank you so much for this video, iv just started eating low carb and I love it, but I don't really exercise so this has motivated me to use my weights and start, you look absolutely amazing and it shows all your hard work has paid off 🥰👍
Hi Jess! Keep it up, you got it! 💪 Heather Robertson here on TH-cam is my favorite instructor. She is the best!
This is such fun! Great to keep one's shape and to maintain one"s self. Who could afford a new wardrobe all the time? Broccoli and Stilton soup... Sounds great!!!! 🌹🌺Xo J
Thank you.. this was very inspirational 👍
Thank you for this video
Thank you so much for watching Nata x
Jess I’ve noticed you are looking so toned gorgeous as always xxx
Aww thanks so much Therese, it's felt nice to finally start enjoying the exercise:) Have a lovely week x
