BISOUS,
Love you all.....Tammy - Jak na to + styl
Speaking of the my finess pal change. I switched to Lifesum app and macro data is still free.
Thank you for sharing this Jessy!!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing
Thanks!!
❤👍🏻
Firstly, can say your makeup looks fabulous!! We need a tutorial for this look. Or maybe you already have one?
Also, I find that it's what one eats on a consistent basis: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.
Holidays, birthdays, date night or other "once-in-a-while" events are fine to splurge a bit. I batch cook on Sundays so I know what I'm eating the rest of the week. If I'm short on time, then a pot of soup comes in very handy to keep me from reaching for the wrong thing.
Hi Tammy! I just found your channel and thank goodness I did! I am 49 years old and premenopausal, with 40 pounds of weight to lose. Please make this a regular series. The way you break everything down, just makes sense! Thank you so much for sharing your story! 😊
I found hormone replacement therapy helped me with my weight.
What kind of HRT are you on, I’ve been on the Bio-TE pellets and it’s not helping me with weight loss😢
@@BlingyBea I take low dose birth control pill and my twin is on Angeliq specifically for menopause.
Counting macros works! I’ve lost inches, puffiness & my joints feel better! I love it when you share your lifestyle! You have great energy & it’s really motivating to listen to you talk about your experiences.
I agree, they do!
Tammy, when you first posted this, I said to myself, “That’s great, but there’s no way I’m going to count macros.” Well, I made some big changes recently and am now counting macros (especially protein) and fiber and eating more often. I’ve increased my step count and started lifting weights again, and the fat is already going bye-bye. 😊 Finally, getting healthy doesn’t seem impossible!
Meal planning and food prep is hugely important. I pack a lunch everyday and my coworkers laugh, but I eat great salads while they’re snacking on endless rice cakes, cookies and crackers. Nice to hear you talk about weightless and the health connection. Thanks Tammy!
Meal planning is a must....
You'll definitely be the one to have the last laugh
Hey Tammy! I love your wisdom and your honesty.
I have suffered from chronic migraines for many years. I have been a vegetarian and then transitioned to plant based for 14,5 years.
About 6 months ago, I started following a carnivore diet to help with my debilitating migraines.
It’s been working.. no migraines! Cutting out the grains, the veggies, and the fruit made an amazing difference. Additionally my bloating disappeared..
I am feeling at my best!
Would love to see a video of your workout routines..
Have a beautiful day!
BRAVO...this is all that matters...it is working for you...and has taken care of the migraines...
Sounds like you're following the Statton migraine protocol. I get migraines too and that way of eating has helped me too.
Vitamin B2 for migraines works great too 😊
Thank you for this video.
It took me ages to figure out what works now that I’m 45. I was in calorie deficit, ate lots of protein and started weight training which is generally what what’s advised for women over 40 but as great and strong as I felt, I was not getting any leaner. So I had to try something else. I lowered the amount of protein and calories but I eat healthy and I eat foods that are satiating, mostly protein and healthy fats. It was important that I didn’t feel hungry and enjoyed my food.
I alternate between a week of weight training and a week of 20 min HIIT, and I intermittent fast but there are days in the month I don’t. I started seeing results very quickly when I made those changes. Good luck everyone!
Hey Tammy, my fellow Florida friend! 🥰 I loved this video! I would absolutely like to see more “what I eat in a day” and exercise videos. They’re motivating and encouraging! Much love to you and Lou and the girls! ❤️
I am 60 and have lost 18lbs too by increasing protein. I used to be eating around 12-15% each day and have increased to 22% as that works for me. I found it counter productive to push up higher. As you say, find what works for you. I loved watching this while I was on a treadmill getting my steps up. You are so inspiring xx
Thank you for sharing Julie!!
Information is SPOT ON !!
57 and started meno the past 6 months so had to change things up. Looking better than ever Tammy!! Think of how wonderful you will feel by spring !!! We can see you’re already feeling amazing !
Water tip….I use a big tumbler of ice, water, a splash of diet 5 cranberry juice by ocean spray …only a splash to flavor the water…then a twist of lime for a little zip !! Sooooo good !
This has to be one of your BEST videos to date. Thank you for such GREAT advice and combing through so many diet topics to come to a REAL, healthy eating plan everyone can adhere to....the one that is tailored to us! You helped us to realize that we can't go on the low fat, high fat, low carb, keto, vegan, carnivore, etc. diets all at the same time. I tried it and it only left broccoli to eat. You helped us to sort it out. Thank you for being so giving of your time and energy and sharing with us your wealth of knowledge on this topic. You're as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. 🙏
Tammy- I can't express the amount of hope you have given me with this video!! I've been struggling with menopausal weight gain for 10 years, trying all the same diets as you. This Is So Exciting to me!! Thank you so much for sharing your journey!!
I feel exactly the same!! Thanks my friend❤️🙏
Tammy,just love your genuine personality,I am 85 years young and still inspired to look and feel my best.
Good afternoon Tammy,
I really appreciate these videos, so many of us have postmenopausal struggles. Thank you so much ❣️
I hear you Janice...I am one of you...the struggle was and is real...thank you !!
Bravo Tammy. As a lifelong athletic healthy person, the struggle is real at 65. But doable! Just 2 quick comments… Im convinced that if people would track their food consumption on the free version of MyFitness Pal for just a FEW days, it would be an eye opener to why tracking is so important.Most people ( including myself) think they are eating far less calories than they truly are! No one wants to be a slave to diet/tracking/ etc but it really does become second nature once you put in the initial effort. It’s the first step to figuring out a plan that’s livable. Secondly, alcohol. I’m one of those people who like it. But it’s worth the extra research to learn how to track it. Because it’s metabolized differently than other carbs, it’s sort of not just a “normal” carb. Doesnt mean you can’t have it, just need to understand that it’s probably making more of a dent in your macros & calories than you think!
I know you feel the same way when I say this: don’t let the perfect become the enemy of the good! There are truths we can’t ignore if we want better health but beyond that,we are not perfect and we all have to do it our own way. Thanks for your realistic approach. It’s what works for me too.
Are you talking about liquor? I didn’t realize there were carbs in most unsweetened, unflavored liquors?
@@Scarlet-qg1xi correct, no carbs in hard liquor. The problem with alcohol in general ( even those containing carbs) is that there are no other nutritional components listed. So for people who track macros, that can be misleading. If you enter vodka into MyFitnessPal, it will show calories but 0 for carbs, fats, protein. But because of the way it’s metabolized, and because the liquor industry is not required to list any other components, it’s not really as “0” as it seems. You can find better explanations from reputable sources online( I’m not an expert!) but I believe for macro purposes, it’s supposed be counted as either a fat or a carb, using a specific formula for alcohol. Of course if you’re just counting calories or cutting carbs, my long winded explanation is irrelevant!
Excellent points!👌🏻
❤ I stopped drinking any alcohol when I learned how much junk is in all of it AND that alcohol helps your body store FAT! WELL, I certainly don't need help storing fat!😂 I spend.a good amount of. Money buying quality foods and I was pouring poison into my body via wine and liquor. This is my personal journey. 😉❤
Do you have any suggestions for macro trackers other than MFP that allow input of recipes? I’m searching for a new app
I’m so doing this ! I”m so happy you are showing you can lose weight eating 3 meals a day… not intermittent fasting… or strict keto … I’ve tried both (and everything else) and none of it worked for me. My husband, of course , lost 40 pounds doing keto … and doesn’t understand why I can’t stick with it and I’m like I need to eat some fruit! I feel like I’m shriveling up inside! Anyway… thank you !!!
Not all diets are created equal...this way gives me the pleasure of eating and my nutrients...I just had to figure out how my macros should be...it is so EASY once you get the hang of it...
Great video Tammy. I use to use My Fitness Pal too but switched to Cronometer because it calculates macros but it also calculates your micro nutrients so you can easily tell if you're getting enough vitamins and minerals - so helpful!
I wonder which program is easier to use? Fitness pal or the chronometer?
Loved your video! I'm 42 but had a hysterectomy 7 years ago and pretty sure I'm post menopause. I lost 42 pounds and still going and eat 1800-1900 calories right now and my macros are 50% carbs, 30% fat and 20% protein. I was eating more protein but found out it was dangerous and I had 6 weeks of kidney stones. I lowered my protein to 20% and no kidney stones for a few weeks now thankfully. I had horrible joint pain (and hot flashes, etc.) but found a daily cup of soymilk cures it for me. If I don't drink it, joint pain comes back. Australia actually prescribes soy food for women who can't take HRT.. I wish US would get on board with these natural options.
I’ve read oxalates in veggies esp uncooked can cause stones . I’ve never had a problem eating high protein but everyone is different .
@@lynnsalberg5647 Yes, oxalates can if you don't consume enough calcium to bind the oxalates but in some people, they even cause stones no matter what. But that's only one kind of thing that can cause kidney stones, there are actually 4 different kinds of kidney stones caused by different things. High protein increases the acid load and then overworks the kidneys - great study done on PubMed about this. Finding the answer for me really helped! I also had to increase my calcium to a moderate level because my levels were too low. And lastly, drinking a good amount of water a day helps.
BTW, nuts have oxalates as well and definitely something to eat small portions of - I aim for a tablespoon to 1/4 cup at a time, not anything more.
The struggle is real…and this journey has been real confusing! I’m still discovering what is working for me, so, I really appreciate this approach. I’ll definitely be applying this, along with incorporating more weight-training to my daily workouts. Thanks, Tammy! So happy for your success!!!
Love this video .. I’m 41 and a mom of my first 2 year old .. trying to lose 10 kg’s and build muscle and tone up. The muscle mass info was completely out of my mind … I’m inspired by your videos to plan properly and execute better. Thank you ❤
I just came across your channel and I love it already. I'm 56 and weighing 135 at 5'6". I workout 5 days a week and yes I count calories! There's no way around it either. I stay under 2000 calories a day and do not count the calories I burn daily. That's what's works for me and I'm able to maintain my weight. It's good to see someone monitor their eating. That is what it take! Again love your channel. Looking forward to watching all of your videos!
The macro journey is just beginning and it’s a bit tricky but I’m trying to figure it out!! Thank you for all you do!! We appreciate you and I’m grateful to have found you!! Congrats on your fat loss which is my goal as well!! I’m healthy but menopause has left me with 23lbs to get off. I’m starting 1/1/23 and never looking back!! I’m a Ballroom Dancer for over 30 yrs and I’m adding yoga and walking as well as weights. I’m 72 but people think I’m maybe 50🙌🙌🙌🎉🎉🎉🎉 I WILL succeed thanks to you!! Looking forward to this journey with you!! Happy New Year Tammy!! 🎉🎉🎉❤🙌🙋♀️
Yes you will...Keep sharing with us...I have a good friend who is also a Ball room dancer she is 75 years young......Happy New Year Joyce...
@@TammysAgelessBeauty GREAT!! Praying for our Country that this New Year brings God back to EVERYONE and with His blessings we ALL continue to live the best life we can and reach our many goals and love one another and help one another!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TAMMY AND EVERYONE❤️❤️🙏🎉🎉🎉🙋♀️
I love the fact that you take no crap, eat what you want and basically tell people ever so nicely to keep their opinions to themselves because you are going to to what YOU are going to do. Love it!!!!
Love your channel! You look amazing! Love your motivation! I'm a fruit eater. Avocados, bananas, grapes, mangos and raisins. Bigtime into fresh foods. I'm 56 years old , 5'6" and 136 pounds. I was very large 10 years ago! I count calories and exercise 6 days a week. I love my body. So so important! Especially as we age. Got to keep this size too! Loving how you are helping everyone! Again! Love your channel!
You are literally a lifesaver!!!!! I have read every book on diets and what you are saying makes so much sense. 56 years old and you have encouraged me so much with this video. Thank you.
Thank you Tammy, I’m finally eating in a way that agrees with me (I’m 62). I can’t believe it took me this long, I’m carnivore two months and feel great, never hungry and I’ve lost my sugar and carb cravings (I’m Italian so it was the way I ate and loved my bread and pasta). Everyone in my family is diabetic so that was a concern for me. I’m losing only about a pound a week which I love. I’m doing weight bearing exercises, no cardio. I’ve always love fatty meats but felt guilty eating meat and was on high veg, lean chicken and fruit and nuts. My weight wouldn’t budge and would never be satiated. You’re right you have to find what works for you
For me, I have to watch I don’t eat too much protein, I eat more fat, lots of butter. I’m curious what my numbers will be when I go for my physical 🤞. I can’t believe it took me this long to be happy and feel good about what I eat!!
Better late than never Maria...congratulations!!
Maria c - sounds good!
I would try to get most of my 'healthy' fats with olive oil, though, rather than butter.
As I'm sure you are aware butter is a saturated fat, which could affect your lipids in an unhealthy way. (you may be unpleasantly surprised in your lipid profile with your upcoming labs.)
Whereas, olive oil being monounsaturated, plus having some heart-healthy plant phenols in it - does, imo, make it a better choice than butter as a primary fat source.
But, yah...your choice of lean chicken (ugh, the worst, for trying to lose fat tissue!)
Your body was desperately trying to hang onto as much fat tissue as possible - sounds counter-intuitive, I know, but that's the way the body wants to work for us....while we unfortunately view it as working against us.🤯
I actually consume both butter & olive oil. But based on what I've been recently reading (& watching in online health podcasts) I've upped my olive oil consumption & lowered my butter intake. I do feel that's a healthier choice, for me, at least. Maybe for most, idk.
Just a suggestion😉
Mah, iam trying Carnivore but damned, since i did it, i have enormous Cravings on chocolate. Only chocolate. Not bread or other stuff. Not Fruit. Only Chocolate. It pisses me Off, because i love carnivore. And no iam doing it not wrong. Have an Eye on fat, protein and salt. I Give this carnivore a chance but when it doesnt work i Switch back to Dr. Gundrys Method.
Your comment interests me because I tend to eat high vegetables, fruit, nuts, and lean chicken too and my weight won't budge either. Hmm, interesting. I am going to go keto because I am doing a program that used it to achieve better health of the cells but I am very skeptical. I worry what the fat will do to my body. I would be interested in hearing if you had your physical yet and how you did.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 So is a fattier chicken piece better than a lean chicken breast? I am struggling and trying to think in a different way to understand what I am doing wrong.
Yes I do enjoy all this type info… 63 here too and things are changing and I’m so confused. You are making good sense that is clearing things up for me. It doesn’t make me feel overwhelmed but I feel encouraged and ready to begin. Please, share as you can I need the info and encouragement. Thank you!!
I started this three weeks ago & I have lost 5lbs, so far. I still want to lose 10 more. What I like the best about this is that I don’t feel hungry. Thank you for these videos. So helpful to me.
I applaud you for losing weight and sharing it with us. It can be so daunting for many of us, but you explained it beautifully...plus the visual of what you eat. You are beautiful, funny, classy and real. Thank You! and yes, more of these types of videos.
Oh man, I’ve just lost control of myself. I’ll be at my son’s the next three weeks. But then I’ve got to turn this train wreck around. I’ll be mentally preparing myself while I’m gone. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love this video. I am in the same age group as you and I desperately need to lose some weight. Eight years ago, I gave up sugar and lowered carbs, and forty pounds fell off me. Now it is all back with a little extra. I was put on a statin a year ago, and that seems to make it harder to lose weight. You are very inspiring and I am going to give it another try. Thanks for sharing your weight loss journey.
You are stunning!! I needed this so badly, turning 66 fighting Twenty pounds for the last three years, and ready to cry over the fight of fat😢
I'm 51 and the menopause spread landed fast and furious and need to get a handle. Thank you for the tips....
I am so happy for you! I am 10 years younger and also follow my macros using the LoseIt app. I feel strongly about committing to a healthy lifestyle and if I had to sum up what works best for me it would be CONSISTENCY, eating plan AND working out. I love HIIT workouts, walking and movement throughout the day. Thank you so much Tammy for also sharing your meal plan.
You are an amazing woman & such an inspiration!!
Yes, Tammy! I definitely want to hear more about your fat loss journey, meal planning, recipes etc! I NEED the motivation, because I've really felt like it's a losing battle & had just pretty much given up. You don't have to be an "expert" you just have to be YOU! A REAL person, someone that we can all relate to & trust, who's getting REAL results! You're making me believe that it is possible!
I just have to find the Will & commitment to follow through!
Me too. I need ideas of what to eat. If I can come up with a few staple meal ideas, I can then make adjustment to change them up. That’s why I loved Jenny Craig but it’s gotten too expensive.
Excited to have found your channel! I'm on a similar journey. Turning 61 in February and trying to be at my best. So glad you list everything in the description box. Congratulations on your very big accomplishment. 19 pounds is hard. I'm down 20 with 14 more as my goal. Each pound really likes me & wants to stay. :)
Hi Sara, so happy to have you with us..Congrats on your weight loss...keep it going, you are worth it!!
Just came across your video for the first time, and though I rarely comment, I felt compelled midway through your video! Thank you for sharing your experience!!! I appreciate your balanced perspective and honest candor! It’s so refreshing to hear a beautiful woman who isn’t denying a passion for foods that are “taboo,” in pursuit of an ideal….the key is that you are conscientious in how you navigate the holiday meals! As someone just passing through menopause, for the first time in my life, I’ve gained weight despite intermittent fasting, keto, Mediterranean, vegetarian, & paleo diets….everyone has their take on the best way to promote healthy weight loss as we age and it can be overwhelming! Your experience shows that while there are some common denominators (eg cutting processed foods, monitoring macros, consistency with what works, adequate water intake, cut sugar, increase protein, reduce gluten, variety…), the minutia varies for each individual…one size doesn’t fit all! Your words are inspiring!!! ❤
Being accountable is key. I track everything every day and follow WW, combined with intermittent fasting. For me at the age of 65, I found that I feel my best when I limit the carbs and sugars. I include lots of protein and vegetables in my diet every day. The protein keeps me fuller longer and helps with muscle retention. If it works don’t stop, everybody finds what works best for them. I am not perfect and I’m constantly tweaking things. Thank you for your inspiration!
Thank you for inspiring all of us aging beauties ❤ we all have different bodies and lifestyles but your journey inspires all of us to age gracefully 🥰
Love these videos, they have really made the difference in fat loss. Weight training is fantastic! Was decorating the house for Christmas and missed going to the gym so I carried all the heavy boxes up from the basement ,some two at a time and felt great afterwards !
Hi my name is also Tammy. I’m from Miami FL. I’m 46yrs old & premenopausal since the age of 43. I’m starting my fat loss journey tomorrow with a personal trainer & will be counting macros. Thank you for this great & motivating video.
Thank you so much for these videos! We eat very similarly except I’m only 5’2” at 61 so I can’t go over 1,000 calories or I will gain weight, struggle is real!!😳 You are a rockstar in my book, you look amazing!! Merry Christmas and God bless you sweet lady❣️🌹
Yes please continue these type of video what you eat in a day and the continuous lose of fat. Tammy you had said in one of your earlier videos you would share your exercise routine with weights. Will you be sharing that with us as well? Looking forward to my fat loss!
I am waiting for a slow day in the gym...I feel kind of weird recording myself lifting...and I must respect other peoples privacy...I will eventually ...but I am not a professional...I just research and work around my ailments...thank you Maria!
I'm in menopause started young at 49 ...I'm 53 now, I've just had a year of bad health, my body can't eat the same thing...your great, just found you?..praise God...PS your so beautiful
Thank you for doing what you do for helping all! I will be 63 in May. Stand 5’11 and wish I had seen you all the mess with my health went down. followed some advice from Robert Morse and he said to clean up you only eat melons & grapes cause protien is hard on your kidneys! So for 2 months I did that but lost too much weight, was 148 now 133 lost muscle so in the building stage now!
Lovely really enjoyed that just turned 60 a week ago and have recovered from cancer surgery. I've been frustrated at how long it's taking to loose weight . But what you said was spot on . Thank you
First, you look FABULOUS! This was a great video and refreshing to see women talk about eating and enjoying life. I can’t imagine cutting out holidays, doesn’t sound like living to me, lol 🤷🏼♀️ I appreciate you talking about eating various food groups, I’ve seen ALOT of women lately preaching about eating one way and one way only. Do what works for you, yes I completely agree, but they push it on everyone like it’s “the best” way ever. I’ve tried multiple ways of eating, and have ended up very sick and in pain because of it (carnivore for example). Have a great day Tammy!! 😊
We all have to find what our body prefers...this is good for me...mentally, I know I would never be able to go without things I love...it would trigger me to binge eventually ...so for me to be successful...I. must still enjoy and participate in life...
Greetings from Bordeaux France. A retired 66 y/o American here. First let me say your hair is stunning! Then, merci beaucoup for this eye-opening video. I have been on perhaps every diet possible. Some have worked, until they stopped working. Have been tracking my macros for a couple of days, and had no clue how truly protein deficient and carb overloaded my daily intake was. Hope to be as successful as you have been. Congrats and thanks again for the info and the insight.
The way you eat is call flexible eating which is the best way to eat for weight loss. It’s the best because you don’t feel deprived. Nothing is off limits as long you hit your macros and don’t go above. I love My fitness pal. I used it before when I was tracking macros. Unfortunately it changed(now they charge) Another good one to use and it’s free is .Cronometer. I haven’t tracked macros in a while. Now I can look at a portion and kind of know the macros but I might start again to be more accurate. Want to loose some weight for my 67 birthday in 3 months. I really enjoyed your video. Best wishes ❤️
What a great video! I am 72, have been very disciplined and athletic my adult life. I gained weight around eight years ago, and could not get it to budge, regardless of consistent exercise. I am very disciplined, eating. This past August 1 I began intermittent fasting 18/6 on average. Also I've eaten low carb. Finally I am losing weight! I'm down 16 pounds and hope to hit -20 pounds by January 1. Intermittent fasting has been a godsend for me I would like to lose 20 more next year, I will continue the fasting though because of the health benefits and I'm less hungry then I am eating throughout the day. Everyone is different, but this has been such a blessing for me.
Calories do matter as Tammy said. The intermittent fasting really helps with this.
Oh Tammy - I needed this today. I lost 40 lbs through Weight Watchers and Covid brought 20 back and I just haven't been able to get back in the "zone". So, thanks for this chat !
You can do it Melissa...just think about how good you felt and get back on that train
Moooooo! Cause I love it. Funniest line you said. You made me laugh hysterically.
First of all you look fantastic. But more important you look like you feel fantastic. You are glowing and you can see it in your eyes.
I was skeptical to listen to your video. I thought, oh great another older woman doing something that hasnt worked for me. Your intro about all of the doctors say this or that hooked me on because I have listened to them all. Lol.
I am 53 and went into surgical menopause in 2015 and been post menopausal for a while and have tried many things to lose weight.
Last November my metabolism was messed up. Too much fasting and not enough eating. I wasnt even hungry. I felt horrible. I decided to start eating 3 well balanced meals a day and started feeling better within a week and sleeping better. Now I did also put on weight but I refused to believe that eating 3 meals a day was a bad thing for me when it made me feel better each week. I am also counting calories/macros and using MyFitnessPal App which has helped me a lot.
My goal is to workout for My Old Lady Body. I want a strong body, dense bones, and to be able to think. I want to live an active life, to be able to pick up my grandchildren when I finally get some, and just to be able to live a healthy life.
I also find it important to enjoy the food I eat and not obsess with the macros too much but to focus on carbs, healthy fat, and protein at every meal. I am with you, protein is the most important.
I am still not losing weight but continue to feel better. I am encouraged by your video because it is similar to what I am doing. I have not figured out my macro percentages yet that work but I believe persistency and determination are key.
Thank you for this.
I would love to see more of your fat loss journey.
Many thanks. I feel like I’m banging my head against a brick wall at 58. I am going to try this journey you are on and I appreciate all you share. I am also a creature of habit and a VERY picky eater. 😘
Im also 58. Lots of fiber. Bean soup helped me lose some. I have little money for food. I also eat half portions. Picky eater also. I have bad knees, feet n back so if I want to keep walking I have to lose. I try to not eat much at all on my off work days.
This is a very good, informative video. The best message is that you have to want to succeed, and you have to eat what works for your body. At 65, I finally found what works for me. I'm strong and at a healthy weight, enjoying life with no restrictions. I have finally stopped emotional eating and look at food as fuel for my body to stay strong. Thank you, Tammy!
Needed this video today, currently 48 and in menopause and definitely on the struggle bus for sure 😢
Exactly! You are so right. People need to figure out what works for their body. Too much fat and too many starches makes my body hold onto fat. Rigorous workouts also don’t work for me. Long walks do wonders for my body. I follow keteovore because it works for my body but… I indulge at the holidays with no guilt. We need to have those indulgences sometimes and live life. Love your attitude!
I love these videos! Your "What I eat in a day" video was excellent, as I am a picky eater, too. Thank you for the time, energy, and great deal of effort you put into your videos. We can't help but feel your true love and care for us and our quality of life for ourselves!
Love this video - please do more! I’m also on the same journey and counting macros so loving this for ideas ❤
I love that you have found your way to better health & fat loss. The foods you presented in this video look so delicious. I need to find that chicken! I am several years older than you (71) and started my health & fat loss journey in 2016. I am 5'7" and at the time I weighed 160lbs. I was pre -diabetic and my stomach issues were just horrible. My doctor simply told me that carbs were not my friend. That day, I began my search for better health. I chose keto. It has worked beautifully for me. I am 120lbs and have stayed at that weight since I changed my diet. Like you, I do indulge during the holidays and my birthday. I enjoy every single bite of food. I learned which foods made me feel yucky and I avoid them. I'm so happy for you. I appreciate that we are all different and must find what works for us as individuals.
YAY...Lou has no problem with lo carb...I tried with him, I gained...more proof that we must all find our own journey...One thing is for sure...muscle matters for a healthy life...protein is a must...thanks for sharing Judy!!
@@TammysAgelessBeauty Well said!
Tammy, you are an angel. I am 69 years old. I am really upping my protein, and it is working. I am losing weight slowly, but a little every day. When I am tempted, I say "I am all in," just like you do. I want it badly enough.
Tammy you are gorgeous, as always, I am really loving the hair! 💐 thanks for sharing this. 🙏I think it is inspiring to share and help each other and give information, and to each her own, whatever works...I am doing it differently but I am always open to learn more and tweak things, I agree about the sustainability part, that is the real moment when things get tough for me. I have already lost weight many times in the past, with different methods, but the issue is when I am overwhelmed, in crisi mode, stressed out, etc, I just revert back to not being able to follow whatever I am doing and the weight comes back on....any way this time what has been working so far the past 15 months is healthy keto (lots of veggies, only berries, no grains, no processed carbs, no starches, healthy fats, proteins) plus intermittent fasting with some longer fasts sprinkled in...I am also following a protocol for autoimmunity, so I am mixing it all together...I did loose a lot, but slowly just like you are losing, and I agree it's the way to loose it well....now I still have some to loose but even more I want to loose more visceral and subcutaneous fat, I also bought a similar scale after seeing your last video and am monitoring...I need to find how to continue loosing fat and how to be able to sustain this long term...it's not easy to forgo pasta and a glass of red wine, chocolate ice cream...I am guessing if I get better I can allow myself something here and there, as a treat....I still have not solved major health issues, and will be going to see a doctor in a couple of weeks...I have major depression and chronic fatigue and I have been researching so much around these topics but have still not found a way...I am also perimenopausal at 51, which is not helping...sending you lots of Love and Light baci bellissima Tammy....
The most important thing is to keep your muscle mass...this keeps our bodies BURNING the fat....we need muscle!! You are consuming the protein...make sure to put it to good use by lifting as heavy ( with good form ) as you can....Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
@@TammysAgelessBeauty thank you Tammy, I usually do a lot of almost daily walking but have not (yet) been doing any weights...will be adding that asap
Truly it is a mind set and discipline. Experience tells me it seems like a lot at the beginning but eventually it becomes daily routine and good habits.
Tammy said for us to write a note of what has helped our health (and fat loss). I like to eat well for health, however, hubby and I were hooked on large servings of chips at least 4 times a week. I was stocky and bloated with high cholesterol and other elevated lipid levels. Well, we cut out potato chips without changing anything else, and I lost 17 pounds in 3 years. And the LDL, cholesterol and trigyceride all fell from red flag levels. Like you, I had many light bulb moments over these past 3 years.
Struggling with postmenopausal, so glad I came upon your channel. Just getting over an upper respiratory infection and lost like over 10 pounds, just eating soup and fruit. Just want to keep the weight off and continue adding more muscle.
Hi Tammy, This is a great video. Thank you so much for sharing your weight loss journey with us. I'm a week in and lost 2lbs. It's only 2lbs but I can see a difference in my face. Not as puffy. Counting calories and macros makes sense for me. I'm so grateful that you had success with it and that you're sharing it with us. I get to eat what I like but with portion control and a concentration on protein. Measuring my food has been eye opening. I'm a healthy eater but I was eating huge portions and consuming tons of calories. It feels so good to be in control and not have life and food control me. I truly appreciate the time you are taking to educate us on this type of eating/diet. It's definitely a lifestyle. I also love that you're being real and enjoyed your Thanksgiving meal without guilt. We do have to let loose at times and enjoy holiday meals but then get right back at it. Please continue to share what's working for you with your weight loss, then maintenance and recipes. Love this content. You're the best!!
Don't say ONLY 2 lbs Mary...say YES 2lbs...and pat yourself on the back...some weeks I will lose .02...I walk out and tell Lou how much I lost ...every single ounce makes me happy...KEEP GOING
Tammy I am new to your fan club, Congratulations on your successful weight loss. I just started my weight loss journey. I quit smoking and gained almost 30 pounds. I was already 20 pounds over weight. I am so glad that I found your channel. Thank you for helping me, I was getting quite desperate. I think you will be very helpful for me on my weight loss journey.
Congrats on quitting smoking....that weight will come off...I quit about 30 years ago....I gained a little but it fell off over the years until menopause I really was able to maintain my weight with diet and exercise...after menopause that all stopped working...very frustrating...until I started doing this...now I am 2 lbs from my goal weight ( the weight I was before menopause )...YOU can DO THIS
I loved this video. I want to thank you for sharing the details. If it's not too much trouble, I would love to see a full week of meals.
You look gorgeous, hair and makeup are perfection.❤️
Thank you Tammy! I've tried keto, I've tried low calorie, and failed. I did the work, but it didn't work for me. Now I'm going to do high protein. I highly recommend viewers watch your first video, as it too was super informative, as was the girl who explained the macros. I'm feeling hopeful as I'm post menopause and can't lose weight as I used to do. You give me hope and encouragement. Thank you!
What do you mean when you say you tried keto? Were you in ketosis? And did you give your body enough time for the insulin to lower, so that it could let go of body fat? If insulin is too high, it becomes literally impossible to burn body fat (Dr. Ben Bikman).
I’m not saying you did this, because I don’t know, but I see all sorts of people who say they tried keto and it didn’t work for them. Most of those people, when I ask, are just following a list of foods without actually knowing whether they’re in ketosis (or fat-burning mode). If you are not in ketosis, then you are not following a ketogenic diet. And the only way to burn fat consistently when not eating, is to be in ketosis. I’m also no suggesting you don’t try high protein, as some people (Dr. Eric Westman) suggests more of a high protein keto diet. Although, for us women, fat is also very important for hormone, brain, thyroid, and overall health.
@@LauraB.335 I got into ketosis at least the test strips said I was, sort of a purple color I think. I logged everything for 3 weeks the last time, and I just don't know why it didn't work. It should, but for me I tried everything, bought and followed numerous books going back as far as Atkins and all the many versions. I don't understand it either. Since I made that post I have lost 60 lbs with low calorie and high protein and not limited sugar.
It’s about time we see women of all ages represented on CZcams and talking about these topics! This is beautiful!
Your no-nonsense delivery and information was captivating. I have a short attention span yet viewed the entire video. Lastly, you are angelically stunning!!! My gosh! I praaaaaay I look as stunning as you at the young age of 63!! Thank you for your realistic approach to weight loss!!!
Wow, thank you!
For me eating Whole Foods not fake ingredients is the way to health. Great video. Everyone has to do what works for them!
I totally agree....my diet consist of Whole Foods 85% of the time...the rest is living! I also keep in mind when I am doing these types of videos...the majority of people are more about quick...I cook mostly every meal we eat...some don't have time...!!
Oh try the aloha protein bars, coconut almond chocolate is like a healthy almond joy! My peloton instructor I love uses them. I went to Whole Foods and bought some then I loved them so much. They often have discount codes and I’m on auto delivery so what I want something sweet I reach for those. Trust me they will not disappoint you.
You inspire me! I need to lose 10lbs. Doesn’t sound like a lot but I can’t master it. I tried carnevor but my Dr. said No! Your setting yourself up for cancer! And since I’m a cancer survivor I listened! We need the nutrients from fruits and vegetables he said. I’m following!! Thanks 🙏
I’m 39 and your videos have been the most freeing and helpful (and I’ve watched a lot of videos)
I’m tracking macros and making sure I’m getting my protein daily has been life changing.
I’m not hungry. I have to decide to eat so I won’t crave junk later.
My hormones balancing.
I feel great, I’m not at my goal but I look 👍🏽 good.
And furthermore I’m not bloated.
I’ve been using My Fitness Pal. I haven’t seen much difference yet…but if I’m being honest, I have not been disciplined. I’m getting there, but I’m not there yet. You, my dear, are an inspiration.
You are so beautiful! I love how you are wearing your hair in this video. Do you have a hair tutorial on this same look by chance? ♥️
First of all, you look amazing and beautiful. Second, thank you for the thoughtful way you present the information. Please continue to share your experience with us. Love your channel.
Three weeks of following macros….still not reaching my protein goal. Increased my activity. No weight loss but belly down slightly and I’m hopeful that if I continue and start reaching my macro/calorie goals I will start losing weight. These first few weeks was more about seeing where I’ve been so I can plan where I need to go. Thanks for going over all this and sharing your “what I eat in a day”…if you can get 150 grams of protein in a day surely I can find a way to reach my 120 gram goal.
Macro Friendly is the only way to go. Calories in calories out. I am 55 years and menopausal. I also like Remington James, Jack Perez, and Zach w/If it fits your marcos youtuber too. All young but the food is delicious and you don't feel like you can't have any foods. So happy you popped up on my recommended. Thank you and looking forward to watching more.
Thanks Tammy. yup! 15/18 pounds is the amount of fat I want to remove permanently. I know I can do it with Keto, however, it is just not sustainable as the weight comes back!!! Sooooo please do a video on how you found out your macros. I visited the woman'w you tube channel and just was not clear to me. Cheers and hugs, you are a great inspiration!!!
Tammy, Thank you for this video! I would love to see more of your fat-loss journey! More about how you figured out the MACROS, more of what you eat in a day, and what your exercise routines each week are. You look beautiful, and especially, you look HEALTHY!
Hi Tammy, I loved this video b/c it's very helpful. You gave us the information, but then the visual . . . awesome. I am so happy for you and your success eating this way. The macros have always been hard for me and even while doing keto I just couldn't wrap my head around it. You are so transparent about everything and even make this topic so much better. You look great! Love your videos;-) thanks
This is the route I know actually WORKS for me! Fell off the wagon a year ago and need to get back on track. Very motivating!!! Thank you and keep posting videos on this topic please.
Oh I do want to do this! It's the first way of eating that makes sense!! My daughter is vegan and I tried it but couldn't stick to it. To restricted for me. I just need to keep watching you (which I always do anyway) and figure this out!! I am 66 and 40 pounds overweight and miserable. Thank you Tammy for sharing this with us ❤️
I've recently changed my medical group. After 12 years of being with the same Doctor I felt like she wasn't giving me her time anymore nor listening to me. The new medical group has several nutritionists for different stages of life, health concerns, etc. At one time I was very active yoga, pilates, weights, walking, zoomba, etc. Then health issues and surgeries prevented my lifestyle and of course pounds started creeping up. I have through my new nutritionists & physio therapist started MACRO & T'ai Chi. I am down 8lbs. I'm a pescatarian , love avocados, berries, greens, chocolate that little dark piece that melts on your tongue. I've never cared for soda and in Germany we had Spring Water delivered to the house. I order water off of Amazon. I appreciate you sharing your journey with us & would love to hear more. I don't just see a difference in your weight, but your skin has a healthy glow.
Hi Tammy my blood pressure is going up and up with menopause so pleased about this video🌺🙏
Walking will help you...you can do this !!!!
I feel good because you do the EXACT same program as I do. I use the renphro scale and my fitness pal. They have both been such great tools for my success.
Would love to see how you achieved your hair style in this video! Gorgeous 😍
I'm so glad I saw this video. It's a wake up call for me. I just moved to Florida and my things arrived after 3 weeks. I've been relaxing my diet and eating off plan. I follow a Keto diet and I need to get my focus back.
I finally stopped with keto after trying 6 years. If you can't stick to it, it's not sustainable.
@@CarisaRae I've been able to stick to it no problem. It has helped me lose 20lbs and get my A1c back to normal so I don't have to take meds. I'm just in a new environment and started tasting things. It's just time to get back to normal. I hadn't even weighed myself until today. I've only gained 3 lbs.
@@LydiaMoodyinFlorida ohh you "eating off plan". Thought that meant you can't do it forever.
For me I’m eating more meat and I added fat . And I cut gluten out completely. My Hashimoto went into remission, I am off blood pressure medicine, and I no longer have arthritis pain in my hands. If I try to add gluten back in the pain comes back it’s amazing what food can do
Looking FABULOUS, Tammy! I’m loving the silver hair, and your makeup complements it so well.
Tammy, you look better than ever! Nice work! I haven't seen your videos in a while. I'll be checking out your previous videos. Need to get on a program myself.
I use myfitness pal too. The macros can be edited to suit your preferences. I replaced one of the macros with a fiber macro as this was my weakest one. It has made a world of difference in my weight loss journey.
PLEASE PLEASE do a tutorial on your makeup it's GORGEOUS
I am loving this content and also recently started with macros. I use the Lose It! app. I read Jordan Syatt's book called Eat It!, it was my light bulb moment and totally transformed my way of eating and how I viewed dieting. I was always chasing this diet or that diet and was getting so confused and unsuccessful. This book and the way you are eating are exactly the same. I have found it so liberating. Can't wait for the fitness video. Side note, beautiful hair!!
It has to be a sustainable way of eating or we are setting ourselves up for failure...
Totally believe this would work for me. When you read the first list of food it was exactly my diet. Haven't eaten red meat for 60 years, other than minced beef - sear it until the life has been cooked out of it make Bolognese sauce put into freezer bags & 500grms made into sauce lasts months. Have begun eating chicken as know I need protein but at moment twice a week is enough but can up that amount if need to. Just have to go back to you initial vlog to get the link to the macro "girl"I also found her speech so fast that it made my head spin but will persevere. So worth it & have no issue eating the same food daily ie breakfast. Frankly find it easier than thinking of what to choose. Find reading food labels easy to follow & it amazes me how people have no idea as to what they are eating. I used to be the same, I now read & some foods horify me as to the carb content in a simple thing like noodles. Here in Australia the laws governing contents are pretty strict. Got to get a hold on this Macro counting as need to loose about 8 kilos no more as not a good look at my age. Just looking at your skin & eyes is an indication of how well this is working for you. You are glowing. Thank you for sharing all this information, the content etc must take ages to edit. Know this is health motivated, don't believe you have a vain bone in your body Just lots of caring sharing ones (all of which are benefiting from the protein) proteins always been my issue as well. Again, thank you.
Great job GF, I love that you’re tracking everything. Tracking makes us accountable ❤😊 Looking good
Hi Tammy thanks so much for sharing you are so lovely and articulate. I really appreciate you sharing your health journey. I’m am 62 years young and trying to be as healthy as possible. Keto is not working for me anymore so I want to try this. Be well !
I think she said something that I’ve been doing for a while keto 3 years and just kept falling off as I would miss some foods so now usually low carb but some days I’m not but I do IF 16:8 18:6 20:4
Thank you so much for sharing your the best!!! I started to track my macros as you suggested on your past video a week before thanksgiving. I’m also 63 and no matter what (I exercise 5-6days a week) I could not drop an ounce to save my life. I don’t have much to lose 10-12 lbs but it just wasn’t happening. I’m happy to say that since I started figuring out the macros etc I’ve dropped almost 5 lbs and that to me is huge. I know it’s not much but going from not losing an ounce to losing already 5 I couldn’t be happier. Thank you thank you for helping us and sharing your success. Keep sharing you motivate and educate us tremendously ❤❤❤ I’m 5’1” and currently weighing 121.9 can’t wait to be under 120. When you’re a shorty like me every lb you lose or gain makes a huge difference. Please share your weight lifting routines. Love you and you looking fabulous!!
This is amazing...so happy for you...keep sharing your journey with us...it will surely encourage others...YAY!!
