I feel like I'm doing all these things and progress is so slow at age 56. In my 20's I could get in great shape in no time and didn't even put in 100% effort. Menopause is so bloody frustrating but I'm in this for the long term!
I've been very severely hurt by people I thought were life long friends. I truly have no actual friends , I have occasional acquaintances. I have trust issues now.
I’ve been fasting thru morning meal, drinking water & after I have taken an ultra berberine, then eat a mid lunch with the best stuff you’ve mentioned, protein+healthy fat+ fibre, and the same way with dinner, but lighter dinner!!! And as far as building muscle, I’ve done military calisthenics workouts that build muscle as I’ve burned the fat! And bed time, my AC has been on 66 degrees, cold quiet, & calm & dark room to rest easier!!! Plus I’ve also been doing a lymphatic system drainage treatment cause I’ve had hypothyroidism my whole life, & a sludgy lymph system makes it hard for my t4’s to convert to t3’s or my reverse t3’s are so reversed, that’s why it’s been hard to lose weight in the past yrs, now I lose faster then I ever have before, & it’s easier cause I’ve taken the lymphoria drops 2x/daily, plus ultra berberine in the morning, chug water & fast in morning! And when I work out I try to hammer down!!!! Even on vacation, I have no excuses, I try to work out as well!!!
I used to be a sheep farmer,when the grass was green and lush they got fat,when it dried up in summer,they got thin.Losing weight is all about quantity and portion sizes,simple.
BUT… for the over 50’s you’ve commented before that this age group of people should EAT first BEFORE walking, to avoid body going into ‘starvation’ mode, and so storing fat?
