On June 1st I stopped eating sugar, flour & processed food. I started eating healthy foods & focusing on protein. I started lifting weights & trying to go to bed earlier. I'm down 21 lbs. Only one more to go to my goal weight. Following JJ got me so motivated I actually kicked butt. You can do it!
. @hakimasaghir9458 If you can make it through about a week with no or very reduced sugar, you'll start to find you don't miss it. But it's also a mental shift, too.
You are EXCELLENT! I’m an RN and everything you’re saying is completely evidence based. Now I want to watch ALL your videos to learn even more and drive this home in my own life! At 30, I looked around at my life and the sick patients I take care of and I realized just how much I did not want to age in that direction. Thank you for your inspiration and expertise!
It seems everything I ever watch is ALWAYS geared towards women who have been blessed enough not to have a female cancer. I had a full hysterectomy(instant menopause) over 6 years ago, along with other body parts removed and 16 lymph nodes. Stage 4 ovarian cancer. Now hypothyroidism due to Immunotherapy. One leg has bad lymphedema I can’t seem to control. Pant leg no longer fits. Shoe on that foot no longer fits. Exercise daily. Eat very healthy(I’ve read it all and adhere). Over weight. Scale never budges. Can’t take hormones due to my hormone driven cancer. Very depressed by it all. Medical community is a joke. I feel lost and alone in this journey. 62 in May. Thank you for the awakening to the effects of GMO foods about 9 years ago. I took corn out of my life and healed my leaky gut. Then cancer hit 7 years ago and on constant treatments to try to stay alive.
@@tamarabeck6350I feel for you. I was diagnosed with Leukemia and chemo pill treatment began...as did the menopause and weight gain. I just keep following what she says and I've finally been losing weight. Slow and sure. But exciting to see the weight and waist disappear! Hang in there and keep trying.
Summed up : Mediterranean diet but increase protein and exercise ! Lift weights gain muscle ! Heal gut use homemade bone broth heal gut . Don’t eat processed food ! It’s not complicated ! Be consistent!
I like something i heard was one mistake smack or meal is not one whole day of going off the rails, it was only a snack or meal. Give your self some compassion.
I'm so glad you mentioned stress and sleep. If you are doing everything right and still can't lose weight get all of the users and abusers out of your life and see how your body changes.
Thank you for all the great, detailed, scientific info in this video -- it is exactly what I needed, super helpful, thank you!!!!!! ❤. I'm taking a notes and putting the steps on my to do list and will DO IT! Life changing, thank you!
Great video! I've been working on my health first because I have multiple autoimmune disorders. I drink about 140 ounces of filtered water with MSM, Himalayan salt, lots of protein, super low carbs to get rid of insulin resistance, doing a liver detox currently, organic foods, etc. This has helped me continue working on our ranch, which is a lot of work. I'm 65 and take no medications. Dropped 40 lbs. already but have 50 more to go. I know I need bio-identical hormones but can't afford them, as they aren't covered by Medicare 😥.
I also have multiple chronic disorders. Started on Keto about 6 years ago, lost 60 lbs., but then had to have 4 surgeries and over 3 years gained about 40 back. I'm 59 now, back on ketovore/Carnivore, fasting, weight resistance training, no alcohol. I've lost 27 lbs. and to reach my goal about 25 more. I also do not take HRT but I am going to have my hormones checked. I'm working harder than I ever have in my life and then will keep at it to stay healthy. good luck to you.
Wow... thank you so much for explaining everything so clearly and not make it confusing or depressing. I can't wait to watch more videos to learn more!
This has been eye opening. Thank you. Hope to see these types of vlogs. For some one that has struggled all of her adult life with loosing and desperate to be healthy thank you.
Thank you for these videos! I have learned from them and also have been reminded of what my lazy self needs to do-my goal is to focus on me-now that I am retired! I have no excuses! I just need help with consistency!
I'm wondering about exercise with a back injury? I can't do HITT training like sprints and all that. I walk on a treadmill at about a 10 incline at a pace of 2.8... trying to get to 3.0. I walk outdoors as well. My husband helps with weight training. I find legs challenging, and can't do squats, dead lifts, ect... I'm sitting and doing leg curls. Any suggestions?? I would like to get a trainer who specializes in exercise for people with injuries but it's unaffordable. My husband knows alot but I feel like maybe not enough lol...
Excellent Video!!! Love that you touched in the importance of food sensitivities. Reminds me of how I was making eggs everyday and having no idea why I couldn’t loose weight when it turns out my body dislikes eggs. Also I supplement to increase hormones at only 30 I noticed a problem with storing more fat as opposed to muscle and correcting this has my muscle mass right back how it was at 20. Good luck everyone! Everything she mentioned is so important, honestly we want to look good but the process actually means we live longer and feel better ❤
@@KJB0001 I took a food sensitivity test. The one I took was really comprehensive and thorough. Something critical that that isn’t common is I also discovered Im highly sensitive to synthetic vitamin E and Im low on Vitamin E. I’m strict about not missing my daily multi so this was shocking. I’ve added natural sources to my diet (almonds) and this helped a lot. The test I took was very reasonable (Check My Body Health) There are several companies however, these results really changed my life. My health is good again, finally at a weight I like, my skin cleared up, and more importantly all my numbers looked good at the doctors. Also I had to address that I have some indoor and outdoor allergies that cause me to put on weight. I do suggest testing for allergies as well. I’m allergic to things like dust and mold but I have no pure allergy to food but the sensitivities are very real 😅 I take Claritin daily now to combat the allergies I mentioned as well. Good luck, I know it’s a lot 😅
@@nataljabaskirova9742 I’m not a medical professional, please keep that in mind. First make sure to have your hormones tested. Your cycle is a good indicator of how things are going. In my case I’m very regular which indicated my hormones are stable however when I looked at my numbers I felt they could be higher. I supplement with DHEA which increases hormone production. DHEA naturally drops as we age, I encourage you to do your own research. To find the optimal dose I kept testing to see how this supplement affected me and what felt best. If your hormones aren’t stable you would need help with hormone replacement which requires an anti aging doctor since needs vary and you want optimal doses of what’s right for you. Good luck as always 🙏❤️✨
I was shocked to discover how out of shape I am. BMI 31😢. I started working out 15 minutes 4 times a week. This is just to start Pulled out my old videos called The Firm, 2 times per week. I am 58. I got lazy with exercising and my diet. I am also searching for my weight loss resistance problems. Thank you for great advice.😊
This video is gold. That's what I need to do (lose 20 lbs of fat). The last few years my waist has gotten bigger. 46 yrs old and Hashimoto's. Need to figure out my hormone situation. It's been a rocky road trying to shed these lbs that have crept on since 2020. In fact, just maintaining is difficult now.
Blood glucose under control, reduced eating window, no sugar, no alcohol, no gluten, only organic foods 😋 it took 3 months to get healthy enough to gain some muscle and vicariously lost some body fat 🎉
How to loose weight in menopause, & my thyroid removed, still have uterus, no ovaries, I’m 51 & enery low and more weight gain than ever! Thyroid meds up and down.
Hi JJ! I just came across your video tonight for the first time, love all your tips! Appreciate it as well. I will pass it on to friends. I only have one request, I wish that you had an attached link to click on to pull up the recipes you mention in the video so I can print them out.
I'm following this advice and 3 weeks in I've lost 5 lbs and 2 inches from waist and hips! Yay! I was always thin until I was diagnosed with Leukemia and put on chemo...bam I got slammed with menopause. This is good stuff in this video. Only thing that has worked for me! ❤ u JJ!
You are so amazing! So helpful! What more can I say? My goodness! Where have I been? Under a rock, I guess so thrilled to have found your channels. Thank you for sharing your channel and expertise!!!
I love the way to explain the proper way to stay healthy. I work out all the time and I am a vegetarian. I gain around 10 pounds, and I think I eat healthy. I am going to do the way you explained it......I never had issues with triglycerides, and they go up to maybe 200 and I get it good again. I am going to pay attention to maybe something that triggers the fat in my body. I look good and feel great but want to get my body leaner. Thanks for your information................MINDY
This video is one of the best I’ve seen. Honest, thorough and up to date heath info is hard to find on the web. I was so impressed with this content I subscribed to your channel. Thank you!
Love her! Great info obvi- But this diet would never work for me! (58yo) Have lost 50 pounds in the past 7 months- doing really good Ketovore WOE- Good fats/protien and under 12 carbs a day! It works!! (Also weight training and walking) Good luck! ❤
My problem is I’ve started having joint pain in my hands, feet and knees 2 weeks out of month. Week before and of period. I’m in perimenopause. So I realize it a hormone issue. I have a migraine disorder that doesn’t allow me to take hormones. So I just don’t know what to do. I started walking last year and ended up with bursitis on the back of my heels. I still have it. I can deal with that but it’s the joint pain that is the main problem. Perimenopause has caused so many problems. I have changed my diet. Can’t lost any weight. I’m up 30 lbs. I’ve always been slender so this just sucks.
I agree with Stuart. Migraines, menopausal symptoms, bursitis, joint pain… all signs of inflammation, which often comes from insulin resistance. Eating fewer carbs and less frequently often reverses these things completely in many people. AND, you’ll lose fat, too, because the decrease in insulin allows the body to release its own body fat. When cells are swimming in insulin, they will hold on to fat. Another great thing is to eat more fat, which is great for healthy hormones (Dr. Elizabeth Bright). That’s why a nice ribeye or some ground beef and butter is great. We have been lied to about saturated fat and cholesterol and sugar.
I also have migraines and they not only didn’t stop me from HRT but improved when I started HRT. I think you need a second opinion or to start alone with estrogen cream topically. If you still have your uterus, you need progesterone as well. When your progesterone is constant throughout the month, you won’t get the migraines. Also, magnesium magnesium magnesium. My first line of defense against migraines. Give yourself 2 months to get on track with your hormones and you will see.
Bioidentical Progesterone. Migraines are estrogen dependant and that's your problem. Too much estrogen to progesterone. Progesterone is going to fix these things. It's estrogen you have to avoid. See a hormone specialist
Great content. I just discovered you. I am working on getting my body back but unfortunately I injured my right hip labrum and can't do squats and other lower body exercises - it hurts too much. Any recommendations? I can bike, but walking hurts after too long. I am doing upper body weights and spinning classes.
Why have I not watched you before now. My mind is blown. I am 52 extremely over weight, hypothyroidism, RA, fatigued pretty much most of the time, an emotional hot mess, have trouble focusing, trouble sleeping and cannot get myself motivated for anything. I have just started pellet hormone therapy. You make me feel like there is an answer and that I am not lazy or crazy. I feel guilty all the time for not having any drive. My poor husband is going to choke if I talk about my weight and health and what new plan I have come up with to combat it one more time. Now I realize I need to do the things to get healthy before the weight or the mind or the rest will come. Thank you
@@CorwinDriskillwe really can do it. On my part, it takes patience. And hugely lowered expectations/ change in priorities. As my health/ weight improved (and I accepted the fact that I need prescription meds to sleep) - so did my depression. And as my husband retired & lowered his expectations of what he needed to do in life - our relationship improved. Now we're working together on a consistently healthy lifestyle, and managing health challenges as we age.
This is great if you already are dialed in with you eating and exercise routine. For the average person this much information is just confusing and paralyzing. Eat more fruit and vegetables, track your protein to make sure you eat enough, cut out junk food and move a little more everyday, especially lift weights, and Track! Your! Calories! I promisse you'll start to feel better in just a couple days and you'll start losing weight
Amazing video.. So much covered and I had to watch it twice and made notes! Would love to see separate videos discussing all of the supplements such as the berberine and your recommendations on protein powder and creatine. What brands and how do you take them? Will watch all of your other videos now. Interested in how to improve gut health too. Will also try to find this food sensitivity test but have never seen one for sale? Thanks so much
What if you wanted to lose a whole lot more? You make great sense to me, I love the balance. I know how to cook and eat, I’m struggling with chronic illness, pain, cfs and the energy to cook whole, fresh food. I hate, hate anything processed it takes like chemicals to me. I have 100lbs to lose….
Hi Cyrus, If you're not sure where to start on your health journey, this breaks it down into manageable actionable steps - jjvirgin.com/roadmap Best - Team JJ
Hi Cyrusromeo. I don't know if this applies to you, but I've been using extended fasting and a whole food diet (prioritizing fats, protein, and various homemade fermented foods) in order to manage chronic pain without prescription medication for several years.. My pain is basically from nerve damage and retained foreign bodies that surgeons could not remove. After settling in to whole foods, fasting, sleep quality, and daily sun/fresh air I gained lots of energy, improved mood, and of course weight management.
New Subscriber here. I will listen to this information dense video many times. I need to better understand why my weight loss on a low carb (keto-carnivore) diet has failed. Thank you.
Hi, I’m 62 years old Vegan I weigh between 135 and 137. I want to get down to 125. I broke my back in 2014 I have titanium steel running down my spine held together with 10 bolts and screws so there’s a lot of things that hurt my back and I’ve been lifting free weights on my own I’m on disability I really really want to improve everything on my body but I’m just having trouble. When I broke my back, everything with squish down and so my stomach sticks out at appreciate any help you can give me.
Yikes, I am 77 and definitely lost muscle. How do I regain it at this age? Had a hip replacement 3 months ago so there are some leg motions I cannot do.

Go eat some lamb chops and steak cooked in butter (ALL oil is poison)
I agree with Stuart. Migraines, menopausal symptoms, bursitis, joint pain… all signs of inflammation, which often comes from insulin resistance. Eating fewer carbs and less frequently often reverses these things completely in many people.
AND, you’ll lose fat, too, because the decrease in insulin allows the body to release its own body fat. When cells are swimming in insulin, they will hold on to fat.
Another great thing is to eat more fat, which is great for healthy hormones (Dr. Elizabeth Bright). That’s why a nice ribeye or some ground beef and butter is great. We have been lied to about saturated fat and cholesterol and sugar.
I also have migraines and they not only didn’t stop me from HRT but improved when I started HRT. I think you need a second opinion or to start alone with estrogen cream topically. If you still have your uterus, you need progesterone as well. When your progesterone is constant throughout the month, you won’t get the migraines. Also, magnesium magnesium magnesium. My first line of defense against migraines. Give yourself 2 months to get on track with your hormones and you will see.
Bioidentical Progesterone. Migraines are estrogen dependant and that's your problem. Too much estrogen to progesterone. Progesterone is going to fix these things. It's estrogen you have to avoid. See a hormone specialist
@@LauraB.335not this easy. I'm lean. I don't have carbs, I have zero energy. High fat... too much saturated fats causes insulin resistance
I just found you
You truly are amazing with this. I feel very blessed to learn from you
Thank you 😊
One of the best videos
Thank you!
Thank you. I knew these things but not why. I’m going to rewatch and give all of this a try.
let me know if it works
I either slow the playback down or I listen again and IF need be, I listen again!!!
You could charge money for this video! It was so thorough! Thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Some of this stuff I have never heard before.
Thanks for all this! I'd heard some before, but a lot was new. And the cause and effect linkages are v illuminating. Thanks for all the good info!
Glad you enjoyed it.
This video is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for sooo much great info.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Great content. I just discovered you. I am working on getting my body back but unfortunately I injured my right hip labrum and can't do squats and other lower body exercises - it hurts too much. Any recommendations? I can bike, but walking hurts after too long. I am doing upper body weights and spinning classes.
Why have I not watched you before now. My mind is blown. I am 52 extremely over weight, hypothyroidism, RA, fatigued pretty much most of the time, an emotional hot mess, have trouble focusing, trouble sleeping and cannot get myself motivated for anything. I have just started pellet hormone therapy. You make me feel like there is an answer and that I am not lazy or crazy. I feel guilty all the time for not having any drive. My poor husband is going to choke if I talk about my weight and health and what new plan I have come up with to combat it one more time. Now I realize I need to do the things to get healthy before the weight or the mind or the rest will come. Thank you
Thank you! It's never too late to embark on a journey towards better health and well-being. You can do it!
@@jjvirginvideos Thank you for your encouragement. I truly want to succeed with my health body mind and spirit
@@CorwinDriskillwe really can do it. On my part, it takes patience. And hugely lowered expectations/ change in priorities.
As my health/ weight improved (and I accepted the fact that I need prescription meds to sleep) - so did my depression. And as my husband retired & lowered his expectations of what he needed to do in life - our relationship improved.
Now we're working together on a consistently healthy lifestyle, and managing health challenges as we age.
Amazing!!! The best checklist ever! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is great if you already are dialed in with you eating and exercise routine. For the average person this much information is just confusing and paralyzing. Eat more fruit and vegetables, track your protein to make sure you eat enough, cut out junk food and move a little more everyday, especially lift weights, and Track! Your! Calories! I promisse you'll start to feel better in just a couple days and you'll start losing weight
Eat more protein. No vegetable seed oils non starchy vegetables n some low sugar fruit.
How do you feel about the Total Gym
Amazing video.. So much covered and I had to watch it twice and made notes! Would love to see separate videos discussing all of the supplements such as the berberine and your recommendations on protein powder and creatine. What brands and how do you take them? Will watch all of your other videos now. Interested in how to improve gut health too. Will also try to find this food sensitivity test but have never seen one for sale? Thanks so much
I’m loving your videos, thank you!
Thank you!
What if you wanted to lose a whole lot more? You make great sense to me, I love the balance. I know how to cook and eat, I’m struggling with chronic illness, pain, cfs and the energy to cook whole, fresh food. I hate, hate anything processed it takes like chemicals to me. I have 100lbs to lose….
Hi Cyrus, If you're not sure where to start on your health journey, this breaks it down into manageable actionable steps - jjvirgin.com/roadmap Best - Team JJ
Hi Cyrusromeo. I don't know if this applies to you, but I've been using extended fasting and a whole food diet (prioritizing fats, protein, and various homemade fermented foods) in order to manage chronic pain without prescription medication for several years.. My pain is basically from nerve damage and retained foreign bodies that surgeons could not remove.
After settling in to whole foods, fasting, sleep quality, and daily sun/fresh air I gained lots of energy, improved mood, and of course weight management.
Great video! Lots of needed information! I just found you and I’m glad I did! Thanks!
Is HITT training good for someone with cortisol issues?
No. But yoga, swimming and Pilates are excellent! 👍🏼
what if your hardly ever hungry ? I have Thyroid problems and I dont like to eat when im not hungry but im still 200LBS so what do you do ?
New Subscriber here. I will listen to this information dense video many times. I need to better understand why my weight loss on a low carb (keto-carnivore) diet has failed. Thank you.
Excellent video, yesterday I discovered your channel and I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Blessings 😊
jj, what scale do you keep recommending? You say it so fast i don’t understand????
For body composition scale, I highly recommend this: amzn.to/3IzidAc
Recently found this channel! Love it!
Welcome aboard!
Can u put muscle after 65? I heard u can't, so I'm confuse.
Thanks.
Thank you for sharing god bless you and your family
Hi, I’m 62 years old Vegan I weigh between 135 and 137. I want to get down to 125. I broke my back in 2014 I have titanium steel running down my spine held together with 10 bolts and screws so there’s a lot of things that hurt my back and I’ve been lifting free weights on my own I’m on disability I really really want to improve everything on my body but I’m just having trouble. When I broke my back, everything with squish down and so my stomach sticks out at appreciate any help you can give me.
Yikes, I am 77 and definitely lost muscle. How do I regain it at this age? Had a hip replacement 3 months ago so there are some leg motions I cannot do.
Prioritize protein in diet and do workouts with weights. Preferably ask a personal trainer to get you started. Correct form is crucial.
Confession:
I’m totally exhausted now listening to all this information
Thank you for a very interesting and informative article.
I'll spend some time to research the BMI scale as I am not sure of the best levels for me.
She's AWESOME! Fabulous information!
Thank you!
I dont have a thyroid. I lost it to cancer in 2007. How do i navigate this now? I take thyroxine but I still find it a struggle to lose weight
Watching with a vanilla shake 😢😢😢. But I definitely need to loose at least 30 pounds this year asap.
6 months left.
ASAP - this is how we want it to happen. But slow and steady wins in weight loss. Wishing you success!
@@positivelyrebellious Thanks so much 🙏
The struggle is real, Hun!😭
Thank you, this is really excellent information we can act on! You have a new subscriber. 😊👍
Stellar intel! New subbie! Thx JJ! ❤
Huge inspiration!! Thank youn🥰
Thank you! I appreciate it 😊
I don’t remember what I did to lose my first 20 pounds. I’m trying to repeat it but I am clueless. I’m down 40.
she is saying the same stuff as my naturopathic doc. (who is both an MD and homeopathic doc)
