I’m 53 and weighed 185 lbs, all of it around my abdomen. I was having hot flashes, night sweats, dizziness, mood swings, sleep issues, irritability, and bouts with anxiety. Last May I was fed up with those symptoms and decided to try keto and intermittent fasting. It has certainly been a journey with a lot of course corrections, but I am now 150 lbs and feel so good! I have eliminated all the symptoms and am determined this is the lifestyle for me. I’m in maintenance for a bit right now, but am now starting to add exercise to get stronger. The main thing is not the weight loss for me … I never want to feel the way I did before.

Ate breakfast at 10:30, 2 eggs and half whole wheat English muffin with little butter; at around 3pm had a yogurt and green apple. For dinner have some sort of meat, 2 vegetables and a salad. My husband is Italian so we do have a whole wheat pasta dish about once a week. During Covid got a pasta maker, make my own pasta now. Now I do intermittent Fasting, varying the time from 16 to 22 hours. Since my first meal is now in the afternoon, I don’t feel like eating fried eggs, so I have a couple hard boiled instead, then some cottage cheese and indulge with a small measured amount of popcorn, then normal dinner.

If you are past menopause… high intensity for short periods of time only! When you are older cortisol will Jack you up if you do cardio for more than 10 minutes. Cortisol (from stress) causes the insulin response and insulin stores fat. Most people don’t understand that fat loss happens with metabolic hormone control… not with long exercises.

Speaking as a real woman who is over 55, there are several ways you can lose weight, from head to toes. My experience. Eat enough to fuel your body. So that may differ because we are all unique. Walk every day. Stop adding tons of sugar to your coffee/teas. I stopped adding sugar to my coffee, years ago. Stop eating at night. Drink less alcohol. Don't be a couch potato. Stop watching so much tv. Be more active!!! Do lower pelvic exercises ON THE FLOOR! The floor is my best friend. I no longer have high blood pressure as a by-product of the changes i have made. STOP eating junk food! Just STOP! NO SODA! INSTEAD MAKE ginger root tea with lemon, tumeric and REAL LOCAL honey. AND LISTEN TO DR. BERG❤❤❤❤❤

I can by experience, tell you that this advice is so accurate. I was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer and given 8 weeks to live, I actually beat it and I wont go into the details of that, but in the aftermath my body was just so broken. I was a runner and weightlifter prior to this so I knew it was all about the load that my central nervous system could handle each day. So I started with a 5 min walk and had 2 days recovery (thats how bad it was). Over 4 years I built up to being able to train in zone 2/3 for 2 hours (I love trail running) 3 days a week. I also, via some intermittent fasting and zone 2 training adapted my body to metabolise fat during these low heart rate zone workouts (very handy! lol) I can also weight train again, and I am building this up slowly, and once I hit the target for that specific workout, the workout is over. I figure, my CNS got the trigger for the adaption, so I go right into recovery mode. As part of the medical side of things I has a full hystorectomy and overnight the shock of having no ovaries (on top of everything else) really hit my system. However by doing little bits of training and then recovering properly made me feel so much better. I think that prioritising peace, good eating habits and prioritizing recovery in order for the adaptions to take place is a great investment in our health. It took 4 years to get to this point via consistent work and consistent rest, and I have learnt this: Slower is Faster. In terms of fat loss, this is a stress on the human body, so be gentle. Dont look at all the lies on social media of people saying "I lost 2 kg per week blah blah blah". Its not sustainable, messes with metabolism, increases cortisol etc. Walking and making a nutrition plan and throwing in some more challenging workouts here and there in a sustainable way is a much healthier long term strategy. If you have to start with a 5 min walk like i did, there is nothing wrong with that. It only gets better!

The foods I eat are from the following: Nuts, beans,legumes, seeds, a lot of veggies - esp the green ones like spinach, broccoli, kale etc.I use potato and sweet potato lots. I really like fruit especially berries and watermelon. I use olive oil and coconut oil in cooking/baking. I dont have any processed foods. Im actually plant based so I supplement with Vit12, Calcium, Iron and Iodine. To meet the protein needs I have tofu/Tempeh and I have a protein powder in shakes with berries and banana. I really love kimchi! I think that prioritising protein and then having lots of vegetables etc is a great general direction to go in. I do have to plan ahead but I like cooking so its fun. For snacks I like oat bars- they r really simple to bake. I made a soup yesterday that has: sweet potato, brocolli, green peas, chic peas leek and garlic. So yum! For fat loss I eat the same things but make a calorie deficit. But not a large one. Just a gentle 300-400 one. I think if i do more than that I feel stressed. So, slower is faster. When its a weight lifting day or big running day I try to get the 100g protein and add in more fats like walnuts or peanut butter. But Thursday is Apple Pie day! The farm I get all the veggies from has a cafe and make this epic apple pie and a great latte. So I smash that happily! YumYum Yum!

This is valuable particularly for women like me who have worked out for years. In the last 6 months I’ve gained 15 lbs all from stress. I worked out like a beast and for years my body looked great. Out of nowhere the weight gain started. Took a month off and weight kept coming…I decided to switch up my workouts. note: I am a powerlifter. I now go no higher than 20lbs on free weights and 45 lbs on the machine. I do 10 mins of brisk cardio per workout at 4 times a week. I always did intermittent fasting so that wasn’t a problem. I have lost 4 lbs in the last week. I shortened my workout to no more than 45 mins. I do some sort of ab exercise in my workout. My stomach and waist have come down. I am not heavy or fat, I’m very muscular but that 15lbs was a huge red flag. I also realize that it doesn’t take much to tone up. You don’t need heavy weights. Low weight high reps work perfectly. My one takeaway was to rest more between sets which I rarely do. We have been taught to keep that heart rate up which is still true but it’s the length of time that makes the difference. Thank you so much Dr. Berg!

I find low carb eating and doing HIIT (high intensity interval training 1min on, 1min off, or 2min on, 2min off etc for a 20min workout ) and weight bearing exercise is beneficial more than cardio. You get a bit of cardio from weight training anyway. Also do stretching Yoga and Pilates moves too, and I dance to disco music on my rebounder! Eating protein and healthy fats and concentrating on toning muscle as muscle is metabolic, is beneficial as it burns calories. I was never overweight in my life until menopause.

I've gained 35kg just this year alone and have struggled with depression and anxiety intensly. It's been a huge learning curve and there is no where near enough help and support. So I thank you for your content, it's really helped me take charge of my health.

Same here ! I had a historectom years ago ., and within days felt I'd lost myself . Put on so much weight . In the past, losing weight had been easy for me but not any longer . There's a continual creep up the scales . Also, an immediate loss of strength and stamina. That was so horrible as I had a job and family , house and garden to manage . I'm going to look into adrenal support now . Hope you're feeling more in control after watching Dr. Berg ? I know I am

@JW-yt7lr Me too! It used to be so easy to lose weight, and now weight loss is non-existent. I just had a bout of gastro and not even that shifted the scales. There is nowhere near enough support post hysterectomy. I feel doctors put us all under one big menopause umbrella, and that's just not how it is in real life, especially those with endo and adhesion pain. We're all different. But anyway, I've watched so many Dr Berg videos, he explains everything so well.

I didnt get fat around the middle until I lost the progesterone & the estrogen. The day the egg basket shuts off you lose 100% of your progesterone and 80% of your estrogen. If your adrenal glands are still working you still have testosterone, that's why you grow facial hair, hairy arms, shriveled stuff, dry stuff. The Progesterone comes from the release of the egg. No eggs, no release. It happened in One Day! I had no sleep. Night Lakes soaking 2 King Size Pillows. My body went into fast motion and started killing me! Truth! Good Lord. I weighed 112 when it happened one day. I had tons of testosterone. People go to work. People just try to live, get sleep go back to work. Sleep all day? Ha. I froze 5 One Gallon Freezer Bags with half water & half ice and packed myself in them in bed each night...after 5 years of this. HRT I got figured out. My Mom took Estradiol shots every month from age 38 to her late 60s and only switched to Premarin because the doctors said the other was dangerous which is what the pharmeceutical companies want. In her 80's her testosterone had dropped so they put her on Estrotest. She lived to 96 on HRT. 38-96 on HRT. I couldnt keep up with her. This is Awful.

For the past 3 years I've been in menopause. Work out 5 days a week. Never had belly until now. I look at food and it seems I'm bigger the next day. 🥺 Depressed, high adrenaline which makes me jump. Anxiety, which I have NEVER had before. I eat about 2 pm and then am full and have no appetite until the next day. My specialist tried me on metformin to lose the fat. Made me sick.

I have ALWAYS had a flat stomach up until 2 years ago when stress levels skyrocketed whilst going through perimenopause (4 years and still counting 😠). Every day I wake up bloated, sometimes painful. And when my stress levels increase, so does my stomach. I could fast for days and it wouldn’t flatten out! It’s creating a lot of self conscious anxiety too which only makes it worse! I’m convinced my nervous system is disregulated and I need to start looking into where to start to get it back to “rest and digest”. This video is right on time!

HIIT is really good, true. Just one thing concerning “jogging“ => most people exercise on a pulse that is too high because their oxygen-threshold is so low. My pulse threshold for 5 min sustained running is at 170-175. If I exercise at around 125-135 pulse that feels relaxing to me. If I go for a 10 km run and aim at 150-160 continuous pulse that wrecks my sleep because my heart feels jumpy. So, the distance to the sustained pulse rate is important in strengthening the parasympathetic nervous system. Feeling relaxed while exercising moderately over an hour or two can be beneficial, too!

I've been "sick" for over a decade. I'm 39 years old. I lost no weight on keto after 5 months other than the initial water weight. I have lived on omad or 2 meals a day most of my life. I had a job walking 30,000 steps a day. I was still unable to lose weight without killing myself working out at home. I usually take long breaks between rounds and sets because I have always needed to, and notice absolutely no difference (other than wanting to die from exhaustion) when I don't take long rests. 3 years ago I started jogging with my kids because I was homeschooling because of covid. My activity went up, and my diet didn't change. I gained 20lbs in a month. It was NOT muscle.... very clearly it was FAT. I was so stumped by this for 2 years. Recently my research brought me to cushings. I think it's extremely underdiagnosed based on the Facebook groups and research I've seen. Getting doctors that actually know how to test for it and will is so much work.

Up until menopause low fat diet is what we have been told for decades, and it works for many people, younger people, and younger women, but for us menopausal women, it’s the opposite now - keto or the easier version - low carb - is what shifts the weight. We often become insulin resistant at menopause, and muscles deplete and waste away if we don’t do weight training to keep them. Muscle is metabolic, that means it burns calories. When you eat keto/low carb, your body shifts over to burn fat for energy, as there are less carbs for it to burn through. Once your body gets through the carb energy first, it goes to its second energy source, fat. Then you lose fat weight, hurrah, that’s what we want 🎉

@@nickiemartin5614 Carnivore is very extreme and keto is still quite hard to sustain for a long time, especially if you want to eat out or on the go. They’re both ok for a jump start but I do low carb which is much more manageable and sustainable for long term, and I stick to 90-100g carb a day. I never go over 100g. I still have a bit of bread and eat daily veg and fruit, berries like raspberries and blueberries are lowest carb, potatoes are quite high carb but as long as you count carbs you could have a small scoop of buttery mash or half a baked potato with cheese and chilli etc. I eat more greens. Carrots are high carb, so just a small portion. I count the carbs! So just count the carbs, having some is fine. Low carb doesn’t mean no carb. Getting your macros inline is a good idea. Your macros are made up of three food things, protein, carbs and fat. We want to eat low carb, as low fat doesn’t work for us menopausal women. It did when we were younger, but now our hormones are the opposite, so our diet has to change too! Look up free macro calculator online, that will help get your percentage right. Go to docs and get your HbA1c blood test done, the all rounder blood test for many things. Ask to print it out. You could be prediabetic or type 2 diabetic which comes along with menopause (it did for me) you could also have under-active thyroid. I take a multi vitamin and multi mineral and a few other supplements for joints like glucosamine, cherry, rosehip, curcumin, and I notice if I don’t get enough water, my joints ache more, so I try to drink more, I like mint tea hot or cold, a bit better than plain water. I also use Apple cider vinegar, that has many benefits, look it up, see if you want to try it.

I then removed all sugar, all processed food including condiments, potatoes and all starchy vegetables and started the keto lifestyle the hot flashes stopped immediately and sleep returned to normal quickly. I didn't have another menopause symptom. Exactly one year later I no longer had a period and lost 40 pounds and managed to keep it off. I am now carnivore because with keto and all the "treats" I started to put weight back on.

We did a study in the late 1990s on fat distribution in peri and post menopausal women. We found one group of women, relatively well-off, who exercised at least once every day, dieted rigidly (also ran food diaries) whose greatest accumulation of fat was on the belly and just could not get rid of it. The one thing these women had in common, and which distinguished them from others in the study, was that they had been children in the UK and Europe towards the end of WWII and the early post-war years of food rationing - so, chronically stressed and probably underfed

Ok so here goes....turning 60 in Dec, I am 5 feet 5 inches tall and petite, weighing 120 lbs my entire adult life besides having my 4 kids. Never overweight and hit hard with menopause. I watched your video and I tend to do it all naturally! I looked at the supplements... I do not run or jog. I ride an indoor bike and walk. I do stretching but no hard on your body exercising and I get proper rest and really do recover as you say. I have a flat stomach and I am said to be very healthy....however here is my problem ....its sleep~~~ Why can't my body sleep on its own? As in, I can watch the sun rise unless I take something....now I would love to know how to fix that! I don't have issues otherwise!!! My hot flashes come up sometimes but not a problem. I get all the nutrition you state and have been doing that for years! I mean what else can I do?

That is exactly me. The only real menopausal symptom I have had is insomnia. And that has caused weight gain. It took quite a while of no sleep before my body started putting on weight. I’m sick of it! I feel that if I could get regular 8 hour nights, I would drop weight quickly.

I put a pinch of sea salt every time! I make sure that I have enough salt during the day as well. I've upped my intake of natural vitamin C mostly through oranges and tangerines but also through acerola, cherry and rose hips. It has been a godsend to me....I also added bananas only in the morning (yes I know it's not keto friendly) You may want to try that. It calmed my symptoms alot...

Dear Molly, I experienced the same. I was in a car accident leaving me behind with head and neck injury. Because of this my body experienced a physical trauma. Therefore my sympathic nervouse system was constantly switched on (fight/ flight modus). One of the symptoms is that my digestive tract / system shutted down ( when you are fighting or fleeing you have no time for eating). You then have less stomac acid (your body stops producing). Theory is that bacteria have more chance to come into your small intestines. Result can be SIBO. Dr. Berg has video’s on that subject. Important is to get your stomac accid and your bile going again. Further, your system has to learn again how to switch to parasympatic system. I did a lot of meditation, yoga and tai chi slow motion. Took months but now I can easily switch between the 2 nervouse systems. My digestive tract is better. Just have to stay away from junk food, sugar and to many carbs. Hope it helps you.

Thank you Dr. Berg. The alarming thing that I am noticing is that women, who are way too young to be experiencing menopause, are showing signs of disproportionate body fat in their abdomens as if they are already menopausal. As of me writing this, I am a 46 year old male, and I am seeing women who are in their late 20s and early 30s whose abdomen's protrude out like their a middle aged beer drinker. They are not really obese, and seem petite in other areas of their body, but they have the shape of menopausal woman. I rarely, if ever, saw this when I was in my 20s.

I do Keto and take around 25 different nutritional supplements a day (including some of Dr. Berg's supplements). One thing that I have found that works for me concerning hormone balance is DHEA. I have been taking it off and on for at least 25 years, and with some experimentation with different dosages, I have discovered that if I don't take it for a month, I have no energy, tired all the time and irritable. Since we are all different, each person has to determine what works best for them. I just LOVE Dr. Berg's channel. It is my "go to" place for all health issues.
