Hi,
My 2 cents - I think generally exercise does not have much to do w/ weight loss - you can lose weight w/out exercising at all. But I do think that over-exercising (and this is individual - there is no one size fits all) may increase inflammation and stress which could make it more difficult to lose weight. Also, if your exercise increases your appetite that is also another way exercise could cause you to gain weight. Ultimately, I think it all comes down to d*et, unfortunately, and it is more d*et the older we get. That being said I think it is worth changing up your exercise to see if it makes a difference - your body may feel less stressed, your inflammation may go down and/or your appetite may decrease as a result of more moderate exercise. Pahla explains that for women of a certain age, our declining estrogen slows down our recovery from intense exercise, so that results in the inflammation and stress. Carol - that is so awesome about your weight loss results! Donna |

I need to write down what I’m eating. I often wonder if it’s not enough. I cut out all snacks recently. It’s just so hard not being at home in my own kitchen. Puts a damper on things. Yes the acronyms are Beachbody. I loved the 9 Week Control Freak. I am definitely going to do that again when I get back in my own house. Maybe I’ll do the Pahla B until I’m able to move back home. Carol - I’m sorry for your diagnosis but congrats on the weight loss Thanks!

momofcha - Pahla talks about all of what I said on her You Tube channel. I think for the most part it is all individual as to what works, but if you have been doing intense workouts and not getting the results you want it is worth it to try to see if working out moderately is the ticket.

Pahla revamped her website and the first page explains her theory on weight loss in the peri-meno/meno time of life:
https://pahlabfitness.com/ I have to admit, I'm missing her a bit - after not doing any of her workouts for a few weeks. Donna |
