The joys of being a woman!!!!! I feel your sadness as I too have hit the beginning of menopause…. Insomnia, hot flashes, etc; I started doing the OMAD & it has made a huge difference for me; As I too had put on almost 25kg; I have lost almost 10 now (in 6-8 weeks) I have been walking (just a steady pace NOT power walking) of 6-8km 6 days a week as I have struggled to exercise (no more boxing or swimming) & keeping my caloric intake @ 1200- 1500 a day…. As I said this is really working for me; You can do this & perhaps some info might be of benefit???? I wish you all the success on you wellness journey & of course from one Meno to another; MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU….

PS. I thought my journals were on a private setting for me to express myself. It was not meant to be shared.

Hello; how are ya??? OMAD is one meal a day; I eat in the caloric deficit range so my one meal is 1500 calories.
I am also doing intermittent fasting, I include LOOSELY: Keto, Carnivore diet, very low carb; NO ALCOHOL and take BLACK SEED OIL daily… basically everything else you can think of in regard to fitness and health I’m doing I walk 6-7 km 6 days a week also l!!! After 4 weeks of this I do a VLCD for one week which is 1100 calories 3x meals of 350 & back to OMAD; I love the OMAD & IF plan it’s great for mature woman and has had many success stories though like most “DIET” plans I’m not sure it is sustainable indefinitely long term I eventually would like to do TWO meals; of 750 calories- that’s at least 6 months away…. & only indulge in things like alcohol or cake, sweets etc for celebrations & not just because it’s Wednesday- 😂
I wish absolute success on your health & lifestyle journey and thank you for the opportunity to connect- 😊😊😊

I’m very sorry I just saw that your journal entry was supposed to be on private; that’s awful- I hope it has been rectified now???

Have a look into Barbara O’Neill with her videos on YouTube. You might find some useful information regarding menopause, healthy eating etc

I’m going through the same thing and have put my self on a 1200 calorie diet and do not weigh myself, i try to go by the way my clothing fits and i try to concentrate on health. I try it focus on fibre and protein. It helps.
