Why Women Can't Lose Belly Fat After Menopause

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.

1. Short exercise 2. Sleep 2. Not to exercise long times 4. Focus omega 3 5. DEGA supplements 6. Massage 7. Low carb IF 8. Magnesium , Collin potassium 9. Aswaganta 19. Herbs Summary Triggers parasympathetic nervous system Great video

My mother is 90 and looks 20 years younger. She lives alone and does everything by herself. She never did any formal exercise but walks everywhere and carries heavy groceries home. ( Doesn’t drive). She ate healthy and never any fast food or junk food. She’s about 4’10 and weighs about 100 lbs. She eats 3 healthy meals a day and no snacks.

I gained 25 lbs , my anxiety was out of control!! I stopped sugar and carbs., all junk food, increased my veggies, healthy fats and protein along with intermittent fasting. The results were miraculous. I have maintained this lifestyle for tens years now.

OMG! I have been in perimenapause for 5 years and finally hit menapause last year. I gained a full size around my midsection. I have been working out like a crazy person! That always kept me slim. Not anymore. I've even gained more weight! This video makes sense and I dont understand why more doctors dont tell you the truth! They want to push HRT. I started estradiol 2 months ago and Im sleeping better but the weight is not coming off. I've wanted to pull my hair out and never felt so awful and less sexy in my life. Im going to put all of these steps into action and see if the inches fall off around my waist. I just want my body back! Aging for women is a cruel joke! I hope this video is life changing! 🙏

This is amazing. So when I sprinted, then walked until I completely caught my breath and the sprinted again, I lost the most weight. I didn’t even understand what I was doing. But it worked.

I'm almost 67. In May of this year I weightv165. I'm 5ft 7 in. I hated it. Felt heavy,had to buy a larger size. Decided that's enough. I fasted,no breakfast,no sugar,bread. In a month ,no lie I lost 20 lbs. I'm now 143. That's as far as I go. I'm active with my house outside and inside but I really think it's the sugar and processed foods. Hope everyone just has the determination. It feels great!

My ENTIRE life my periods were SO PAINFUL. At 57 all of a sudden IT STOPPED. No hot flashes, no mood swings, NO NOTHING. FANTASTIC! I deserve it. I DO need these tips about the belly fat though 😊

I have virtually no body fat. My doctor while doing his yearly exam commented that I am underweight and have 0 body fat. I have been sick for the last two years. I am struggling with gaining weight. I am the complete opposite. I also weight lift 3 days on 1 day off, I cycle, roller skate and hike daily. My health is my #1 priority! Being active is the key to my sanity!

Wow those symptoms .. anxiety, nervousness, low tolerance to stress, hard to stay sleep ... all me right now!! Also explains why I don't lose weight despite working 12 hr nursing shifts where I get exhausted. Thank you!

I'm passed my 70s. I followed your instructions and my belly is almost flat. Without exercising. I was never aware of just how much sugar I was consuming till I started keto. I still cheat and have chocolate, don't touch my chocolate or I'll murderlize you. I get excited looking at my almost completely flat belly. Thank you Doc.❤

Dr Berg, I'm 53 and have my 32 year old body back, thanks to you!

This is pure gold and it explains so much. I was running up to 5k 4-5 times a week this summer. I was so exhausted, my legs felt heavy and weak, my weight would come down slightly and then go up. I sprained my ankle and told myself there must be a good reason why, well here it is. Thanks so much Dr. Berg!

I went through an early menopause (aged 44) that coincided with being treated with steroids for Crohns, and developing arthritis. We didnt have this type of quality of information available. Fast forward 25 years and Im so glad we have it now, and hope that many women are able to take charge of their lives.

I'm 62 now and im so blessed that i don't have menopause or weight problems. I eat clean, carbs maybe 2x a week. No alcohol, sweets, walk, lift small dumbbells for tone and strength my waist is 29-31, weight at 136. 5'8. In my late 20s- 30s i was at 216 pounds. Feel and look way better now.

This channel has been so helpful for me after surgical menopause. It has been a rough couple of years physically and mentally with little support. 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.

Some good information. I wish I had known this when I started Menopause. I had Adrenal Exhaustion because life was full and busy. Had to learn to totally relax with meditation. I am past it now, but Menopause information is needed. Thank you Dr Berg👍🏽

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❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for the upload, I needed this info, I watch so many experts but you are the one that not only gives clear succinct info, but also good clear rationale that makes the advice actionable for me. And you're right your content no longer shows up as itt used to.

Thank you Dr Berg . I think this is one of the most informative video for menopause that I have had the opportunity of learning. I have not found this information anywhere else.A massive thanks for this 🙏🏽
