Ep. 436 Midlife Weight Gain: When Your Body Isn’t Cooperating (Yet)

The Meat: What is the gist of what we’ve been saying the last couple of years? 

• Bring back the hormones (BRHT): The health fat loss can take time, when you’re on BHRT. Sometimes you gain first, when you’re on estrogen, for instance. 

• Get the carbs back (Celebrate Carbs!): When your metabolism is healing, there’s a bit of bounce back. You gain some weight, and then will lose later. Trust the process. 

• Eat your protein (25 grams per meal): The muscle to fat ratio is changing when you start increasing your protein intake

• Go get in the gym (Lift heavy!): This journey isn’t about being thin – it’s about being STRONG. But you are becoming a burner! 

And someone just told us: “I’ve been doing everything you’ve said! And I’m gaining weight, not losing. What do I do??”

And our message is: You’re on a healing journey. Emphasis on the journey. It’s taking time. You don’t always drop weight immediately. Sometimes you gain first. Don’t give up. Embrace the uniqueness of your body
