I’m trying to do 1500 calories for weight loss
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!
Awesome
.
Does she post workouts to follow along with her as I can’t seem to find any, just videos explaining how to do the moves with weights?
sugar is my addiction how u guys 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.
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!
Thank you
Thankyou
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!
Thank you!!
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.
I either slow the playback down or I listen again and IF need be, I listen again!!!
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.
.
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!

In a similar boat!! Thank you for sharing!
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.
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
Amazing information! Thank you!
This video is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for sooo much great info.

I have just restarted mt exercise with the intention to become fully toned.
Thanks to your videos. They will serve as empowering.
Wonderful! Keep it up
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.

Thank you for sharing! I started front loading my protein and it’s kicked my cravings-BIG TIME!
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

Awesome, thank you! Good idea.
I just found your channel. Thank you so much for teaching the how and the why to achieve an optimal diet and optimal exercise performance (from your other video "my 6 exercises I do daily"!!
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing such valuable information!
As you were talking, I was somewhat drawn to the area where I believe that the thyroid gland is. I am not a doctor, but I had my thyroid checked because my doctor thought it was enlarged, and that thought came to my mind as a watched your video. Just thought I should mention it here, for what it's worth. Thank you, again.
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.
Very good information. It's the best, the truth and i need to get back to basics. 3 healthy meals a day, no snacking, sleep well and get rid of stress
She's AWESOME! Fabulous information!
Thank you!
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 🎉
One of the best videos
Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
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 ❤
Ms Michelle, how did you finally learn that you had an egg sensitivity?
@@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 😅
How did you supplement to increase hormones?
@@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 🙏❤️✨
@@michellecherry888, thank you!
Hi JJ
I love your videos! Just found you.
Do you offer a group course on Nutrition and Exercise? Thank you
great questions
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.
This is exactly on! I learned all of this years ago and lost 80pds. But she puts it into words perfectly! Very impressed!
Thank you.
Excellent! ❤🙏
Thank you!
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.😊
Thank you for watching, Julie.
Great job and valuable advice. Any recommendations for a clean protein powder?
Hi Joy, you can read JJ's blog on finding a good protein powder here! jjvirgin.com/guide-to-protein-powders/
Every protein powder I’ve tried gives me a gut ache and gas.
Agree with you ini principle for most ages, as I used to do what you preach in my 20-70's but now with bone on bone knees and more age, and no access to sauna, it is not possible to do hit, and sauna after dinner! Please remember we are not all your age, any longer, alas. Nor do we have the resources...maybe an amendment to your recommendations? Thank you.
You could charge money for this video! It was so thorough! Thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
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.
I completely understand! It can get so challenging as we age. We're here for you Carly, glad you're here and thank you for watching :)
HINT: Carnivore way of life solves all illness / weight issues but
DO NOT cook with OIL ever use fat.
Agreed!
@carlyyeslinger, hi, Neisha Berry on YT is Dr. Ken D Berry wife. She healed her hoshimoto with diet.
Thank you
God bless you
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...
I’ve been working out for over a year I have tons of muscle in my legs and arms . Just need to lose my stomach fat and back fat
What's your view on the connection between creatine and hair loss? Thank you!
How do you feel about the Total Gym
Everyone says to walk after meals but what it I do a hiit or strength training workout instead? Would that be more beneficial?
Very good video. I have too much muscle in my opinion. I just would like to loose bodyfat and even a bit of muscle. Any recommendations?
Can you go into more detail on measuring skeletal frame?
not sure about that one either
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.

I agree Dr. Mindy Plez
New listener… subscribed !!!
Hoping I can hang in there!😊Awesome advice. Thank you.
Great, thank you!
Okay so it’s not true that hiit is bad for you year 35 and up? I heard it triggers your stress hormone which in turn holds onto fat? Also great video thank you so much for all of this information!
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
@@user-yp2rj3ze5owe 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.
I have 4 kilos around the belly. Insulin résistance, not easy. I'm on a lo carb diet. Keto.
Your thoughts on Orgain and Fairlife protein drinks?
hI, how much berberine daily and also what enzymes are best? Any suggestions out there? I'm not one to buy 'run of the mill full of fillers' low quality, keen to know the more quality brands.
