May I just say, ”Thank you” for making these videos,and compliment,your beautiful skin:)
Thank you so much for getting some this out there. Most women pretend it isn’t even happening.
Anne! So proud of you on your recovery from sugar. I work in the field of addiction and have been 24 yr sober and clean. It’s not an easy task at all, once again your honesty and willingness to speak on issues women don’t discuss often. I applaud you. Happy New year and thanks for your posts. Glad your back. ����
Every woman who has been through menopause I’ve spoken to said their doctor said “dont even try to lose weight. No matter what you do, it won’t happen”. Hormones play a huge role.
Nonsense when your body can no longer make estrdiol and estriol on it’s own it relies on estrone as its replacement. Estrone is stored in your fat cells and cues your body to hold onto more fat. Biodentical hormones balances and replaces hormones like estradiol so that estrone is no longer dominant. Once estradiol and smaller levels of estrone are back in harmony you will be able to start losing weight again.
Hello Anne, I’m glad you’re back! Thank you so much for doing this video! I struggle with sugar, I am 61, I’ve put on 25 lbs in the past yr. I so need to do this! My mother is diabetic and is on dialysis. I dont want to be in the same boat.
I have been addicted to sugar my entire life and also a binge and emotional eater
thankyou so much. you do help me a lot. please keep making this kind of video
You possibly can lose 10 pounds in 2 months safely & naturally even if you haven’t lost weight for long periods
Ladies this is a great video to share lets face it we are all getting older and we need to take care of ourselves to live a healthy active life.
Hello Danny, I am Joyce from the Netherlands. Thank you for doing this and sharing all your recipes. I have made some of the recipes and felt super proud because I never baked or cooked before. I always used the steamer because I was always really busy. Now with your recipes I also can cook and bake. Thanks again
I know I should cut sugar. It is so hard. So well done! For sport: I lift weight to tone the body and to avoid losing muscles. And I walk my dog a lot:-)
At approximately 21:09, you mentioned to Dr. Garrett that there are 3 types of testing and Dr. Garrett mentioned Dutch testing but the other 2 weren’t mentioned. What were the other 2?
Follicle (granulosa cells) produces inhibin that blocks the FSH secretion (not estrogen inhibits FSH production) and estrogen inhibits LH production. This is the accurate physiology but maybe you explain it in this way to simplify the process. However, it got me confused! I think it’s better to mention it….
Thank you ever so much for the video. I have booked an appointment with Dr Anna and can’t wait! in the meantime, what could you suggest for when I feel my heart beating faster than normal and sweat and cold feet, which was the case this morning and i had to just concentrate on breathing in and out slowly. If you have any other ways I can cope I would be thankful forever. P.s. I’ve just bought the book
You aren’t speaking from experience and you don’t seem to know the physiology of hormones and weight loss. Calories in/calories out doesn’t work after a certain age is many menopausal women. We should get diet advice only from menopausal women who have overcome their weight problem or those who have studied the science.
Hi Barbie. Just started watching, saw u with Dominique. I’m a rectal cancer survivor, who has had surgery, chemo and radiation. I am celebrating being cancer free for a year. My doctor is poo pooing any hormone therapy. I am miserable. He put me on an anti depressant. Used it once, and hated it. I’m looking forward to going through all of your videos. Thanks so much for doing them!!
I enjoy many of your recipes. I just noticed with the almond pancakes you were using a non-stick pan. That was 6 yrs ago, so hoping you no longer use those (I stopped using them yrs ago, along with the “microwave”). Thing is, “menopause” isn’t a disease and, like so many things with women especially, it shouldn’t be treated as such. It’s sad that so many of us are in this bubble of giving so much of our power over to “doctors” (actually translates to “teacher,” but not represented that way in our cra-cra world). FYI, I only watched 5 mins of this video, so… But being a woman who hasn’t been to a mainstream doc in well over 20 yrs, and still have all my lady parts, my advice of course is to avoid mainstream docs like the plague. Stop using crap like non-stick pans, and all their other toxic stuff. Like dairy products. Like toxic soaps, deodorant, cleaners, hair dyes, etc. Don’t let ’em squish your boobs (causes the big C) and don’t put your feet in those stirrups (that regular horror would have to greatly contribute to stress/anxiety=disease). Don’t let them cut you at least until you’ve researched/tried natural ways of healing. Research natural birth control. All of this (and more) is what makes “menopause” more like a disease. Living a crazy unnatural life pumped up with all the toxins (air, food, water, cosmetics, personal care products, utensils, clothes…but there are alternatives). Uh, yep, I’ve done the menopause thing, no white coats present. Don’t remember the day it started or ended. Had a few “hot flashes” here and there, but as I recall I was drinking some herbal tea that greatly reduced them. I still have my natural hair color (no white or gray…unheard of at this age). Um yeah, mainstream crap is a killer, and being treated like cattle (stirrups, are they still doing that?), is very aging. Women, take back your power, and your body. Know that you deserve so much better, a non-toxic life at the very least. You’re just a cash cow for them, whether per their ignorance or just blatant greed.
This is a normal part of the course of my life. How do I want to feel about it and handle it. I love this.
Menopausal weight gain is hard! I am having to make some adjustments to my diet. I have never had a belly and it creeped up slowly. I saw a picture of myself from Christmas and I looked pregnant. I made the decision to start taking care of my body regain strength and eat healthier. Sugar had to go I said goodbye to it a few days ago. But do not try to take my cream away with morning coffee ☕️
I have thought for a couple of years I was perimenopausal, I am 43, but kept being told I was too young. Thank you.
Great information.I cant rely on my mom for info because she had a hysterectomy in her 40’s. I totally agree with you that now at 51 I am putting myself first.
I just started watching your videos. Wish I knew this 10 years ago. What can I do to find a Dr. To listen to me about how I feel and do what is necessary to make my menopause journey the best part of my life. I live in Fayetteville NC and it it so hard to find a Dr. Who will listen to you. I simply gave up and have been miserable for 10 years. The process of finding a Doctor is very time consuming and expensive. Trying to get in for an appt can take from 3 to 6 weeks. I have good insurance and live a very comfortable life.
My husband does not understand he always says well you are not like you used to be. He jokes that I have been going thru menopause for a long time. I am at the lowest point in my life now when I should be enjoying life. I am existing not living.
Since my hysterectomy at the age of 47 I have not been on any HRT. Every Doctor I have seen does not want to do anything. They have their biased opinions. I just quit going to them and almost gave up until I found you thru Angie Hot&Flashy. Now I have hope that things will get better.
I am going to watch all of your videos in order. I am on number 5 now. But what can I do when I am empowered with the information you give me in finding the right Dr. In a timely manner.
Thank you so much for doing these videos. You Absolutely ROCK!!

This is a very dangerous statement. Balanced hormones are ESSENTIAL for weight management during menopause. Without balancing hormones, no matter what you do, the estrodone that is created after menopause is used to store fat. Without rebalancing all major hormones the body will only continue to gain weight as it has nothing to stop it from storing fat.
What a quack.
I grew up with a ‘healthnut’ mom (ie: very little sugar, no soda pop, no fast food, etc) very similar to you and would go crazy with junk food and sweets when I was away from home.
I am definitely a sugar addict and know it. I try to avoid it as much as possible (but I didnt do so well during the holiday!) and like you, I can’t just have a little bit of sweets. It’s all or nothing for me. It’s true that once you stop eating it you do lose a lot of the desire for sweets.
I’ve done Whole30 several times and it’s a great way to re-set. I applaud you for staying away from sugar almost all-together. You look terrific btw!
Just the other week I declared that I swear that when I’m pms’ing I’m also experiencing premenopausal symptoms! I turned 40 two days ago so I wasn’t sure if it was too early for this to be true and maybe I was just crazy! Thank you for discussing this topic!
Perfect discussionI’m 52 and just was declared post menopausethe weight is what I struggle with and your sight keeps me interested in new food plans and I’ve enjoyed changing everything I eat I feel great but the weight is slow to go!
so knowing that most obgyns don’t t have the knowledge necessary about menopause which professional specialist should we see to manage peri menopause and menopause?
Thank you for doing this interview!!! It was so helpful. I can’t wait to read Dr. Anna’s book!
Dani, thank you…thank you! This is so helpful and I am so glad we’re not hiding this part of our lives…it’s natural. We need to communicate and know we are not alone. I’ve found acupuncture, yoga, and an excellent naturopathic doctor very helpful for perimenopause.
When i was teenager and 20 my weight was 69 kilos when i was beetwen 40-50 my weight was 5455 kilos now i am 50 my weight is beetwen 5657 kilos i gained 1.5 kilo
I heard this woman a few years ago that she got menopause at age 65 and she take supplements and take good care of her health. I got menopause at age 53 and never had hot flashes. Just try to eat healthy and avoid sweets. Not taking any medication at age 66. Thank you lovely ladies for this video. God bless you both!
I have been postmenopausal for 8 years, and I am 32-years-old. My doctors are clueless. I went through it alone. I was 25 years old and my VA doctor constantly stated that my case is so “fascinating” my fsh and lh levels are unheard of and off the charts by 100%. I know that doctors think about becoming the first to do this and that, but hearing how “fascinating” it is, while I was suffering, did not receive help or advice, and found out that I was barren really hurt.
A Male talking about menopause…………..Something went wrong:(
This is great Dani. I am on her email list-she has wonderful information.
Hi My Name is Tammy and I am a SUGAR ADDICT….I am the same, one piece starts the binge….I cannot have it in the house…SUGAR is my trigger food. I do enjoy my berries and apples…these do not set me off.
Eat less move more. Wow. I would have never thought of that.
It’s finally good to see women talking about this. Last year for me was the worst year of my life because I thought I was in peri menopause but when I found the right doctor I had already went through menopause. I’m only 45 so it was a shock for me. It took a whole year to get me physically, mentally & emotionally whole again. The right doctor is key because my obgyn made me feel like I was going crazy when I knew something was wrong. So if one doctor won’t listen find another one!
I have found several times that doctors simply do not know a lot about women‘s bodies after menopause. It seems somehow not interesting. So thank you for your interest.
Happy hump day! Today I am sharing a follow up interview with my friend + health expert, Dr Anna Garrett. Dr. Anna just launched her new book: Perimenopause: A Savvy Sister’s Guide To Hormone Harmony (you can pre order here: https://youtu.be/iu2cHBGdtgw) is committed to helping women become their own health advocates! I hope you find this info insightful, I know I sure did! xo-Dani
Hi everyone! It’s so good to be back. I filmed this before Christmas. I wanted to save this video for after the holidays because I know how hard it is to even think about getting healthy during the holidays. In the next video I’m going to talk more about what I eat. As I said in the video I’m not an expert I’m just sharing what works for me. I’ve been able to keep the weight off. The biggest change is making this a lifestyle change. I hope that you find this helpful. If you did please share this as I know how frustrating it is the lose weight and this would be helpful to many. Next week I’ll be starting my new series. I hope you all enjoyed celebrating the holidays. I hope this year brings you good health and happiness.
Wow. Congrats on your success and thank you! Sugar is my addiction too.
I have got to stay away from it. I need to find some exercise too. Thank you
One good thing is that if you were pear shaped, as I was, the gain goes elsewhere and you feel more in proportion. I have gained on stomach, bust and arms.
It is estimated that in 1998, there were over 477 million postmenopausal women in the world. That number is projected to rise to rise to 1.1 billion by the year 2025. A study of menopausal women revealed that 80% experienced no change in quality of life. 62% felt positively about menopause. Ten percent of women said they were irritable, fatigued, and had feelings of despair during the menopausal phase of their lives.

I love watching these types of videos. I started into a premenopausal state at 27. I had a vaginal hysterectomy, but got to keep my ovaries. The Dr said I had another 35 years of good use of them left. We’ll now that I’m in my early 50’s, my weight has increased. But I believe I’m an addict of sugar also. And chocolate, girl I’m a chocoholic! This video has truly inspired me. And I believe I was meant to see this to help me begin my weight loss journey. Thank you for being so blunt and so real. That’s extremely helpful to ppl like me. I believe if I cut out those things I’ve been eating that I already know are “bad” for me, I will lose the weight I need to. I have always enjoyed walking too. However a motorcycle accident that broke my right foot and leg, changed all of that for me. I still enjoy walking, although too much of that causes my ankle to swell and I have to keep it elevated and iced for up to 4 days each time. So I have to do no impact workouts and that my dear is difficult for me. But I am truly inspired, and I know that once I set my mind on something, I will achieve it. Thanks again Anne, you’re the best. Much love to you. P.s. I will try to keep you posted as to my journey successes and fails. Xoxo Laura Ann��
Brilliant information! Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos and educate myself on menopause! “It’s all about me” Thank you!
A small metabolic workout, even 7 minutes, to raise your heart rate at least 3 times a week helps boost metabolism. I do metabolic everydaybfor 15 minutes and it really boosted my metabolism
Going gluten free and stopping sugar, dairy and artificial sweeteners removed all my cravings
I am addicted to sugar. There I said. I get soooo tired at times and I have to keep on going. I go straight to the sugar. I literally feel it coursing through my veins. You are motivating me again.
Im 52 and have been lucky my whole life as far as weight goes. The last year I have been eating, not so good and it is starting to show in my belly. I used to walk almost every day, but live in Maine and its too cold. An excuse! Ive got to start eating better and moving more. Thanks for inspiring me to do so.��
Great video!.. Food for thought, but, not sugar and carbs!������.. I am 63 on the other side of menopause, I hear ya!.. i need to cut out the sugar and carbs as well!.. thank you for such an awakening!., you are awesome!.����������
U r video n teaching technique all r fab sir but i want to need videos on more topic like
1-contraception
2fabroid/ polyp
3 puberty
Etc…….
Have you found a makeup foundation that is best for sebaceous hyperplasia? I love sugar, as the same; “ill just eat 2 mini candy’s and would eat 10 and hour later 10 more….I am a vegan. Was on a 100% plant based diet for 10 months. Lost a whole 6 pounds:(. I did it for anti inflammatory reasons. I as a vegan; eat many carbs. And even veggie and fruit carbs. I find chocolate now gives me headaches, so I find carbs are my next go to. I love to walk. I need to shed 20 pounds. This is not easy. LET ME KNOW WHAT FOUNDATION YOU LIKE.
should talk about LH since this is what causes ovulation. (LH surge)
Thanks Anne, I was a walker for 10+ years and really loved it! I am also in a neighborhood with lots of hills, so a great high/low impact workout. I was walking 6km about 4 miles every day. Some days I was up to 10km. Then I would work 4 days a week, on my feet for 8 hours….I ended up with two stress fractures in my right foot. No more walking…no more working for 8 weeks. Needless to say I stared gaining weight. As soon as the Walking cast was off I started walking again, but my knees started to hurt. And the weight kept packing on… I finally talked to my Dr and she prescribed Ozempic (insulin) it has reset my metabolism, curbed my appetite and I have lost close to 30 pounds. With the weight loss my knees feel better and I can start to slowly work out again. This worked really well for me, but obviously only with Dr supervision.
Thank you so much for such an inspiring story, Anne! ��I gained the hell a lot of weight because of sugar addiction and I’m noticing that all these unhealthy extra kilos make me look much older than I really am. I’m not even gonna mention the health issues that follow. Your video came out exactly when I’d started considering to ditch sugar completely. Thank you for motivation! Do you eat any sugar substitutes like granola sweetened by maple syrup or something? I don’t believe much in sugar substitutes but just wanted to know your opinion ❤️☺️
I love walking also, however my Dr. said the older we get we have to incorporate some type of muscle training and stretching too. Loved the video!
Oh Anne, you look stunningly beautiful. I love this look on you! I too am addicted to sugar. I’ve managed to lose almost 20 pounds in 18 months due to lifestyle changes, but I still eat some sugar (and I need to lose 5 more pounds). Like you, it zaps me of my energy. I desperately need a change but I can’t imagine life without chocolate (thus the addiction). Thanks for giving me some renewed motivation. PS I just had Lasik eye surgery so if my spelling is wonky, this is why.
I love doughnuts, pastries, etc and thankfully, I’ve always been pretty thin. I haven’t been a big one to work out, either…I get my workout running around being a postpartum nurse and chasing after 4 grandchildren! I know I need to do a bit more in the way of cardio and strength training, but I also have 2 rods the length of my back. That limits flexibility and I’m in constant stiffness and soreness. Takes a lot out of me. However, with menopause came about 10 lbs, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but with my frame, I can tell when I’m up or down 4 lbs!
Anne you look great. Can you address cellulite or did you not have any?
#vaidjagjitsingh gives ayurvedic and herbal medicines which helps in treating any problems related to Menopause. You can take appointment and visit centre.
I would add that working out can help greatly with post menopausal sleep issues. ��
Hi Barbie, I have ordered your book so that I can follow along but I would like the outline too. Where can I find that? Thank you from Colorado! xx
The word “diet” should refer to the foods we eat normally for me and my family it’s lifestyle change. We cut sugar out. We are mindful of what we eat. No fast food. We meal prep. Lots of veggies and lean protein. Water is our main drink.
We also use a few tools. My fitness pal app is free, made by under armor. I love my Fitbit.
I also believe exercise is key. I strength train, do yoga and cardio. I went from 145 to 125 and I feel it’s something I can maintain
Also, I live with pain in my hips and knees and I have an old shoulder injury. At 55 and in menopause, I can say I’m in the best shape of my life.
I don’t like to exercise. I don’t think anyone does. But I love how I feel. I love being able to do the things I’ve always been able to do.
What I’ve encountered is obgyn want to put u on birth control and medicine for anxity
I discovered this a year ago! When I lived in Grand Rapids I went to someone who put me on hormones and I never felt better in my life…then I moved to Chicago and new doctor did not believe in hormone therapy and took me off. I went downhill fast….I then took my life back and went back to GR and put myself back.. I am back!!!
Thank you. I never thought of the sugar issue as an addiction until today. Will be working on it. Happy New Year
Hi Anne great video thank you for sharing what worked for you for both weight and menapause, it’s muchly appreciate all the best Mary ��
Wow Anne, this lipstick looks stunning on you!!!! I love your whole makeup in this video. Tutorial please ��❤
So glad I watched this. I’ve definitely have been experiencing symptoms and it’s an eye opener
Oh me oh my! How wonderful to have you in my life to guide me in this unknown phase of my life. Thank you for instilling knowledge into me at the tender age of 50. Thank you ����
Yes I’ve gained a lot of weight in the last 6 months, it’s very discouraging. I guess I should cut sweets out, it’s just so hard.
Thank you for your video, it’s very welcomed.
Than you for these videos, my biggest issue is with mood swings
What an excellent topic. I tend to separate the goodies from the teens.
You could be sharing my story, Anne. I started Keto four months ago and have found that not eating sugar everyday has stopped the vicious cycle of wanting more sugar and carbs. At 51, my pouchy stomach has finally gone away. I feel less foggy and tired all the time. Unfortunately, I ate sugar over the holiday and saw how easy it could be to get back into it. I’m impressed that you have been eating this way for five years! You go girl! I’m glad that you are back! I missed you while you were gone.
Me too! I started keto in nov. cheated a bit over Xmas and unfortunately tonight as well. Back on it tomorrow. I feel so much better when I’m doing keto/ low carb and no sugar
I can understand your giving up sugary stuff. I don’t make a habit of sweet stuff, I can live without it but I do love bread, but good stuff, not the commercial stuff. I eat things in moderation. I also hate exercising but I do love to walk. I did put a bit of weight on since going through menopause and am working on taking some of it off. I try to eat healthy but allow a treat every now and then. I am also cutting back on the alcohol consumption.
Girl. U just keep changing my life! First the concealer and under eyes and now SUGAR! Sigh. Im gonna do this. No more yo-yo’ing. Was healthy and fit. Then has my first child at 31. Second at 35. And haven’t slept since. I’m turning 38 but I’m done. No more!!! I’m done. Was clean for a month and then we just had Christmas and it’s Jan 3 and I haven’t excercised in 3 days and I’ve had sugar since Boxing Day. Thank you so much Anne. No more! I think u are �� right this is an addiction! Need to do what makes me feel good and strong, not tired and weak.
Thank you, I love your videos. I have an issue with my feet but, the pain is more in the heels and the middle of my feet. It happens off and on. Not while I’m standing though. It happens when I’m resting.
Me too, sugar is the devil… lol.. i truly crave sugar too and really limit the amount I eat but I am not that person that can eat one cookie, i want to eat the entire bag!!!
I have been doing a lifestyle change since October and have cut way back on sugars. I had 1 lousy cupcake last week around 7:00 in the evening good grief I was up till 5:00 in the morning. I couldn’t believe how my body had changed so much in a short amount of time. Big hugs and love. Xoxo ��
Thank you Eileen for this highly interesting video!
I have warm to very hot foot soles, which are red, kind of a burning sensation. At its worst when having a hot flash, so could there be a direct link between the two? Thank you kindly.
Hi I’m from UK and the lovely Manager in my Health food store where I was buying products to help me through menopause (on a particularly bad mood swing day!) alerted me to your site. I think you are wonderful. So easy to listen to, positive and upbeat and very informative. You give us hope that there is a solution to this chaos! I am so glad I have found your tutorials and have recommended you to my friends. I’m only 3 videos in and listen to you while I eat breakfast in the morning. God bless you and have a great day.
I so get you. Alcohol and sugar are the same substance metabolized in the body…both are sugar!! One is a plane and one is a train leading to the same destiny. I was a sugar addict for most of my life. I am 62 and don’t like it anymore. I don’t crave it at all. If I am at an event and do eat something with sugar, I feel terrible several days after. I think in 2019, I hate sugar 3 times. The cleaner I eat and better I feel, I run from it. I do get Trader Joe’s 100% cacao bars with zero sugar. No one in my family likes it because it is bitter. I really enjoy it. Never want or could go back to eating processed junk food. My health is my wealth.
Hi Anne, I’m addicted to carbs and sugar as well. I’m not over weight, but it’s something I do have to be conscious of. I’m curious I live here in central Florida too, how do you manage to walk in the heat?
I definitely applaud you!! I’m definitely a sugar addict!! I’m trying to do better it’s a constant battle.
This video brought back good memories when you and I collaborated on this same subject a year ago!!! We both are such sugar addicts and the pain is real my girl!!! Happy Friday. xo Laurie
Your tutorials are simply the best. They just make sense. Thanks
Hi Annie, thanks for the awesome video. I gave up sugar and Diet Coke completely 6 years ago and I lost weight, felt better, my skin was clear. I am/was completely addicted to sugar including straight out candy. It really hadn’t been a problem but after a hysterectomy my metabolism changed and I started gaining weight so I had to go cold turkey.
Sadly, I lost my son less then 2 years ago and grief has caused me to return to sugar. I’m currently trying to get off sugar once again. I know it won’t help my grief but it’s a start in giving me back some control. I enjoy walking too. It’s great for my mental health. Thanks for being a kind and good voice of reason on YouTube.
Oh girl, I know exactly what you are talking about!!! I am a little older than you so thankfully I have already gone through menopause!!! I feel you on the weight gain as well, but “in moderation” has always worked for me. I am like your husband and daughter, I can take sugar or leave it, I enjoy it but I have never craved it. My doctor gave me a 3 day diet to try and it worked for both me and my husband. Now I just incorporate different things in it and both of us have kept it off. I like to walk as well but had knee replacement surgery last year and I am having the other one done this year. It has slowed down my ability to walk but I still watch what we eat. When we go out, or at someones house I eat what I want, but I don’t do that everyday and it works! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!! XO
thank you so much it’s just perfect made it all clear ��������❤❤
Hi Anne! Happy New Year! You are a strong, committed, determined woman. It’s great that you took control of your health. I see a nutritionist who has helped me with food choices (it’s tough since I have Crohn’s disease which limits many “good” food choices) and having been on steroids at different times has been challenging as well. I eat things I enjoy in moderation and I’ve lost 24 lbs since July. I had also gained after having my thyroid removed…just another thing to add lol. I work out 6-7 days in my home by doing fitness-walking DVDs with HiiT training, light weights & resistance bands. I’ve gained more muscle and feel stronger than when I went into forced menopause. My stubborn area is my lower tummy and having gone through 6 abdominal surgeries (two from C-sections), my doctor says it’s more challenging to lose in that area so I keep working at it. I have about 25 more lb to lose…slow & steady works best for me. My blood levels are all good and my doctor is very proud. He never criticizes but always encourages me. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story Anne; what you did is amazing! ����
Natural is the best way to go, especially maca root https://www.etsy.com/listing/764567570/menopause-vagina-dry-moisture-wet-vagina
Thank you for getting back!!! I just started your videos but, it feels so good to have you here thanks from Rhode Island

Hi Anne! Happy New Year! Yes, aging is not an easy task! Unfortunately. Great video, thanks for sharing with us. I totally agree with your commentary. Carbs and sugar, are not a favorable vice, but every day…is a new opportunity to change your life!! xoxo Robin in Florida
Hi Anne lovely to see you back. I put 2 stone on during menopause. I changed what I ate. I cut out sugar and now eat more fruit and veg and lean meat and fish. It was more of a lifestyle change rather than a diet so it is second nature now. I have now lost it again. It took 18 months. Hubby and I love walking. We enjoy days out with our cameras and can walk 10k most times and I have just ordered some dumbbells as I really do need to work on my bingo wings �� ❤️ xx
I’m not even a big sweets person, but I know when I do eat them-I want more. And more. I enjoyed this video very much. I like the idea of treating the bad foods like a disease-you just can’t have them. It also helps me to treat myself as I would a child. Would you let your child eat a tub of ice cream and unlimited cookies? No.Take care of yourself as you would a baby. Can’t wait to see more about your weight/health journey.
Naturopathic DRs know so much more about hormones and how food can help regulate your hormones. They are a great resource and compliment to your MD.
Hi Anne. I love sweet things. Nothing is toooo sweet for me. Let’s say I’m a chockaholic. I am taking nuskin tegreen tablets. No sugar. No carbs. Yes it’s not easy. So for breakfast and lunch I have a protein shake. I eat fruit but still lots of coffee where I should be drinking water. I work non stop in the house. Every day all day. That is my exercise. Walking here is a no no. Way too dangerous. But also work in the garden. Glad this was your video. Gave me more inspiration to do what you are doing. Many thanks. I take my hat off to you. Glad you are back. Have a wonderful weekend and keep on walking. Till Monday. ������❤️
My addiction would be Potato chips. I can’t have just one. Walking is the best exercise for weight control that is low impact. Love walking the hills myself even with my 30 year old bunion, lol
Anne this is a fantastic Video.
I was always a “big plus size girl” especially after the birth of my son (he’s 28 now)
I didn’t start losing weight until I was diagnosed with diabetes and it became out of control.
Currently now I’m a UK size 12-14 but my chest has gone down to a size 16.
I cut out Carbs for a whole year it worked and now I try and minimize my carb intake regularly.
Still a diabetic but under control.
Just started watching your videos today. I already love you.:)
I am hitting 50 this year and going through the symptoms for the past few years. I love all the information you are giving us and I love your personality. I try to dress nicely in the office too. I am sooo glad I found you. Could you recommend any docs in the Los Angeles area? Thank you for everything!!
I am diabetic and have lost 30 pounds since March 2019. I am needing to lose another 20 and am finding it hard hit a plateau. I need to increase my physical activity. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more about how you eat
Hi Anne, I totally get the sugar addiction. I also had to be drastic regarding weight loss. I am 58 and while I lost weight years ago in my 40’s (WW) during menopause. Everything, and more returned. Because I, too am addicted to sugar and carbs, I turned to the Keto Diet. It removes all sugar and all delicious carbs. The benefit is that you can eat lots of fats, like butter and bacon and avocados, etc., but you have to use sugar substitutes like stevia and a few others. The hardest part is giving up pizza and pasta. Keto is getting some traction, so now there are some pizza places that offer Keto friendly pizza crust, but generally, my only carbs come from vegetables. The good part of Keto is that you can still eat chocolate (and drink wine or have a cocktail!), but it is sugar free dark chocolate and it is very limited. I have lost 33 lbs, at this point, so I do allow a “cheat meal” once in a while. I like Keto for the same reason you like your eating style. It totally removes your sugar cravings and that really helps me stay in control. I was a lifetime member of WW for years, but every time I reached my goal, I would fall back into the sugar trap and gain everything back. Just a cute story about “rewarding yourself.” My mom went on WW and every time she lost 1/2 a pound, she would “reward herself” with a jelly donut. It took her 3 years to lose 20 lbs. LOL
I just started a Keto diet, it’s tough but seeing results. Sugar and carbs were my vice ��
HELLO ANNE. HAPPY NEW YEAR. I MISSED YOU!! You look amazing. I actually gained 35 lbs. and it’s from yrs hormones and meds (steroids) I have lupus so the meds hold weight. Well, I said ENOUgh!! Now I am battling. I wa always a size 4. Now. (Cough) size 12. I hate it. Everyone said I was too thin. Well. This is insane and I won’t have it. It hurts me more. But sugar. Yes. It’s my thing. I am trying!!
I would love to see a video where you give us some sample menus of what you eat in a day. I need to get away from salt and sugar also. You have motivated me to focus on better eating habits.
This is one of those times that I miss my home state of Florida…its so cold here in Illinois. Brrr
Absolutely Annie! When you stop the sugar and in my case sugar and carbs you DO NOT CRAVE them….and when you do have sugar for like a special occasion or something it’s like an explosion for your body with the bloat and GI discomfort….which in turn just clarifies to me that sugar is literal poison for the body turning on an inflammatory response…..If I eat a pasta dish(which I love) I feel sooo bloated for the next 24 hrs…it’s CRAZY….
I just stay away from that stuff for the most part….when I eat chocolate it’s 70% or higher dark chocolate….I really like it and it staves off any sweet tooth I may encounter(sugar/carb addiction is a real thing) Thanks for your experience sharing❤️❤️❤️
Happy New year too!!!
I think you are right about sugar free if I go very low carb I feel very ill after a few weeks because I am on a large dose of ssri antidepressants and they effect carb metabolism can cause weight gain so some people may find very low carb/sugar makes them feel dreadful but for most of the population itis the way to go well worth the abstinence which is easier over time love elaine Lincolnshire uk
I am the same, if I have one bite of dessert I am going to eat the whole thing, and more. I have to stay away from it. I also do not do pasta, mostly due to gluten. You stated it perfectly, a smoker can’t have just one cigarette. A sugar addict can’t have just a bite. I unfortunately failed New Years day and am just getting back to my detox phase. No sugar for a good 2 weeks, no bread. I didn’t notice a weight gain after menopause, but I was only 38. I did notice a decline in muscle tone, and my weight shifted.
I love what you are doing!! I do want to know how you have such beautiful skin!!!
For me sugar wasn’t the issue, its been the salty, bready foods. I cannot have chips in my house. AT ALL. I will eat an entire bag, no matter the size. Even if I think I don’t like it! I can keep tortilla chips in the house. Those hold no appeal to me in bingeing. When I was in my early 40’s, I bought the book Sonoma Diet. Because it wasn’t a diet. It was all about retraining your taste buds and portion sizes. That was the first thing that helped me. It taught me to how to make healthy meals that my entire family would eat. And to this day they ask for when home. Real, whole food, with flavor. It’s the flavor part that is key. I eat less and am satisfied. I started walking every day. As I was turning 50, I started noticing weight creeping on ever so slightly. I started paying attention to HOW I was eating, HOW my body was feeling. My entire life I’ve always wanted to skip breakfast. I tested out intermittent fasting. For 2 yrs I’ve managed to keep the weight off now and my body feels great. I generally eat my first something between 12 & 1. Scrambled eggs, a bowl of black bean soup, nothing heavy. Just a little fuel. Maybe there’s a snack of fruit or nuts between then and dinner. Depends on the day. I then eat a healthy dinner of protein and a veg. Rarely dessert. I’ve just really learned to pay attention to my body. I know when I’m needing more fruits or veggies, or when I need more protein, sometimes my body says it needs a few more carbs. Now I only really do it Mon-Fri. Weekends the only real difference is the time. We might have a later dinner out with friends etc. About 6 yrs ago I also added yoga to my day. Some days it’s only 20 min, other’s it’s an hour. One thing I have learned in life is we all need to be paying attention to our body. It will tell us what it needs if we are truly in tune with ourselves. We just need to listen. We’re all different. The one thing that is the same, the ability to listen to our bodies and what it’s telling us.
Thanks for sharing your story. Yes, you have to be ready to make the change in order for things to really happen. I’ve lost 60 pounds in the past year and a half in menopause. High protein and low carb under the care of an endocrinologist have been the trick for me. I have 60 more to go. So happy that you found what works for you. Happy New Year, Anne. xx, Carla

Happy New Year!! Thank you for sharing how you are fighting weight gain during menopause. I’ve always been pretty small while being able to eat most everything. I’ve also been a gym rat most of my life. At 52, I’m not as interested in going to the gym quite the way I used to and I’m finding I can’t eat the same either. I guess I’m ‘pre-menopause’ as I still have cycles. Migraines are a real problem right now and my cycles are semi-sporadic. Just a tough time for women! Anyway, thank you for sharing. I’d love to hear more-recipes, etc. God bless!! And have a great day. ��
I went on the keto diet and in 8 weeks I lost 20 pounds and then Halloween hit and I have been back to my old eating habits.. I’ve gained back about 5 pounds for me it’s time to go back on the ketoo diet it was the only thing that worked I am 54 years old.. And even though I haven’t gained much of the weight back yet I feel awful sitting in front of the TV at night feeding my face and 2 bags of candy I have the same issues that you have I totally understand!
