In this video, I’ll explain the most common reasons women over 40 struggle with stubborn belly fat, body recomposition, and fat loss despite eating healthy and exercising regularly. Learn how menopause, muscle mass, protein intake, stress, sleep, NEAT (daily movement), and strength training all impact belly fat loss after 40 and what you can do to finally see results.
If you’ve been wondering:

Pelvic tilt is real.
I have multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and extreme nerve pain. I haven’t been able to exercise in 5 years because of how much pain I’m in. I’m 49 in menopause and I’ve gained 25kg, so without exercise I think it’s just downhill for me 😢 i’m looking into doing retatrutide peptide to try and reduce the inflammation , so I can at least try to exercise. But then I read that the peptide can cause muscle loss, which defeats the whole object. I do need to reduce my calories, I’m 5f8 and at the moment eat 2000 cal a day . For lack of a better word, I feel completely screwed
Hey can I do my bmr and tdee while trying to lose weight as a 16 year old black girl that’s 200 pounds and 5’0?
Nothing worked until I stopped prioritizing protien and started prioritizing fiber.
Mines not even that fat, more like juicy moomin troll bleb from the belly button down 😫😢
ok ❤
I got it down now, it’s working for me .I do a calorie deficit but I’m making sure I’m eating enough protein every day.
All I’m losing right now is fat and actually the guideline for the amount of protein you should have in a day is a little bit lower .
I always make sure I don’t miss any of my workout , I’m doing weights three times a week and power walk on my rest day.
I’m trying to get fiber in with protein, fiber is my challenge without fiber supplements 🤦♀️
Please do a video for SI joint pain
I'm not doing anything right, but yet I'm still wondering why I'm fat 😂😂😂

I keep hearing step count. I need to increase mine. But it’s summer in Phoenix and I can’t go outside right now. And work from home 2 days per week. I need to figure this out. I only get like 3k.
At 50 and fully menopausal now my main concern is gaining muscle . I used to be ruled by the scale and now I only weigh myself once a month. The only cardio I do is when I’m lifting very heavy squats or walking . With doing all of that I noticed my belly pouch go down . It’s so freeing not chasing a number in the scale now ! ❤
That is why I like to walk, it helps me.relax. thank you for explaining this. I like how you did that.
Just picked back up on my steps especially after meals
I’m 43 now!!! Being in peri menopause I no longer fast. Strength training and body recomp is my only goal. Not losing weight… when I gain on the scale ..I look and I can see I gained that in muscle 💪🏾 . GAINS 🙌🏾
Very good info to keep in mind. I think my body recomp is going good. I've ditched my smartwatch during weight training sessions and focus on reps or train to failure. I also had to eat more calories to sustain energy for weight training then I noticed more lean showing up on my body. Keep more tip vids coming Michelle 🎉🎉🎉!
Exactly I'll be 43 this summer
