Post-Menopause, This Woman Lost 6 Pounds With Intermittent Fasting

This woman completely transformed her body and health post-menopause by following this Intermittent Fasting schedule and meal plan.

Tell us about yourself!

I am 56, post menopause female. I had good habits (daily workouts, sleeping 8 hours, and drinking water) in place, was doing IF 16/8 for 7 months but frustrated by a constant creep of my weight. In 2016 I weighed 109, and went through surgery, chemo, and radiation for breast cancer. I immediately went into menopause from the chemo and my body has never been the same. My weight never fluctuated or was a problem. I was 98 lbs when I was 22, 104 lbs at 35 yrs after 2 kids…and it was around 45 that I put on a pound a year that brought me to 109 at 50. I’ve always worked out, so I guess I benefitted from that for years.

Which Program did you use?

I followed the Detox and 21 day plan.

Have you tried anything else in the past?

Weight Watchers, Counting Calories, Daniel Plan, Whole30

Did you have any hesitations before joining the Challenge?

I was worried it wouldn’t work.

What was your Summer Intermittent Fasting Challenge goal?

To feel better and lose a few pounds. Both were accomplished. I felt GREAT within 4 days and at the end of the program, I was down 6 pounds – from 121.5 to 115.5 – and at 5 ft 2 in…you can see it in my face. And I don’t think I am finished!

What wellness goals did you achieve during the Spring Intermittent Fasting Challenge?

Within 4 days the bloated feeling went away, I had more energy, and I felt really good.

What were some of your favorite meals during the Challenge?

Any of the no-grain oatmeals. I often ate them for lunch bc I loved them so much. I also shared them with friends bc they were the perfect way to break a fast.

Did you have a nutrition nerd moment?

I appreciated learning the reasons why my body was responding positively and the education I got reading the bundle.

Is there anything else you would like to share?

I recommend the program to anyone complaining about their gut or weight. Since my friends and I are all over 50 and through menopause…our metabolisms are slower and just cutting meals/calories are NOT enough. Most of all, this was healthy.
