I learned something new today!
Thank you for pointing out these common mistakes! Losing weight after 50 really is different — it’s more about habits, hormones, and mindset than just calories. This video is a wake-up call.
WTH is with the Book plug-in every other comment???
I make my own dressing! Start with a base, olive oil and red wine vinegar. Then add some wine mustard, garlic powder, a packet of stevia. You can add or change ingredients up. So easy and so good!
The front desk girl and I are friends and we both were talking about how we gained weight and we had a record here so we really weren’t outside very much and then we were watching this wonderful TV show called. Call the midwife.!!! ❤❤ well she gained significant amount of weight this summer and I was wondering why she said she loves to snack at night she’s single and she gets really bored and lonely and I was like wow OK I don’t snack at all. I should be super skinny, so yeah I guess that was a huge eye-opener to me that people eat munchies snacks, all kinds of little things in their cabinets junk food. I think the best thing to do is not start. Just don’t buy it. Don’t bring it home.
Wow this is so cute to do. Thanks for sharing. Have fun and keep the sparkles on. Lovies Yetta💕
You look Fantastic and I'm inspired by you
I'm 58 and I'm bad with eating I Thank You for giving me common sense to carry on with all the damage I've done -great video
Thank you Dr. Becky for mentioning that our body is more efficient at making fat over night and will kill that low BG reading we need in the morning.
First of your videos I’ve ever watched and I loved it! Love the healthy information and your cool and calm style. What’s the rush, right? 👍
How does one know they're insulin resistant? Thank you for your time.
I’m bald
Great video Dr.! I have found that avoiding snacks especially late at night made a huge difference for me. Of course, my wife and I are eating a Keto diet, only eating twice a day, and practicing intermittent fasting. I have lost over 20 lbs in just 6 weeks.
Dr Becky, I know this video is a year old but I have been binge watching some of your older videos. I was just wondering about protein shakes. I see what you are saying about the cookie and the broccoli and how the cookie breaks down and goes straight into your blood stream. If a protein shake only has 3 Total carbs, would it still do the same as the cookie? Not sure if you will read this question but I thought I would ask anyway. Thanks for what you do.
When it comes to snacking sometime, None is better than some! I love that. Thanks for the video.♥
I am 53 and work 4pm-midnight. Should my work schedule be considered when planning my eating window? It seems every book or video is geared for people with more of a 9-5 lifestyle.
How about this…. If it comes in a box, skip it. Eat whole foods, if it's processed skip it.
My favorite bedtime snack is celery and then apple cider vinegar and lemon juice!!
Thanks for your advice!
Over 60 is even worse
None is better than some is my new motto – can’t believe the number of large bags of snacks (6-8 serves) I’ve consumed in one sitting – I won’t bring any of that stuff into the house anymore
56 yrs old (1967 baby too) and 20lbs down in a couple of months, thanks to Keto, intermittent fasting and the wonderful advice Dr Becky and others give ❤
Thank you for this being explanation! 🙏👍
you look great but I was conceived in 1947 and enjoy the look of you
You are fabulous!
Hi there! My husband has high cholesterol and was diagnosed with insulin resistance. All of his weight is around his stomach. The dietician put him on a low gi plan which went ok for a while. My 14 year old daughter was also recently diagnosed with insulin resistance. I feel that a low carb /keto plan will benefit them both and that low gi has no nutritional value. Do you agree? I don't know if keto will increase his cholesterol. Really need any advise please!
I have watched a few of your videos now and I have to say it is so refreshing to see someone give a no nonsense take on weight loss for my age. Okay you're one year younger than me. 😁 I'm heading to check out your website now but wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge with us.
Thanks for this video. I am keto and i feel great. I love your video. Keep it up. ❤
Hi Dr 😊Becky I would like to try your Freedom program but I ha e gried multiple times to enter my credite card and it keeps getti g rejected! I'm getting frustrated. It's taken me a lo g time to finally realize I need help. I've been watchi g your videos for years. I ha e stopped eatting sugar for over two months, eating only two mes aday,no nighttime snacking and recently cut out all gluten. In tht period of time I ha e lost only two pounds! Help please.
It's not the fat, it's the sugar. The big Gulps, the candy handed to children early in life. Get them started early on sugar addiction. Alcoholics don't eat sugar. That's because they get their sugar with alcohol.
