Exercise is absolutely necessary for health, not necessarily for weight loss.

I'll give my perspective on exercise, as a 63 yr old (I'm sure most people here are much younger.) I've always struggled with weight, always worked out intensely. As I entered menopause, I backed off on the intense cardio. I got fat around my middle, and saw my blood pressure rise alarmingly. I felt like, I know I can deal with this naturally, I am not going down the road of blood pressure and diabetes meds. I returned to intense cardio 3 X week, and started walking a couple of miles on my off days, taking maybe2 days a week not exercising. BP came down to normal!! Also, many people struggling with weight deal with anxiety/depression. Exercise helps that also. I can tell you I lost the tire around my middle, but now I am back to being "hippy" the way I've always been, lol. But I've made peace with that, and thank God I can move, my bp is normal. Exercise will also help keep other values- liver, kidney, etc normal. So just like healthy eating is a lifestyle, exercise can go a long way to helping us maintain health as we age.

Absolutely true. I lost 85 lbs. in my late 50’s doing low carb eating alone.

I've lost 202 lbs. It was all diet. I do move more than I did, just because I'm able to be more active. When I was fat I did good to get 1k steps in a day. Now I get anywhere from 6k to 10k steps a day, depending on the day... without even trying. I wear a Galaxy smartwatch and it keeps track. If I go grocery shopping I get closer to 10k steps. If I've stayed home all day and just clean and do laundry it will be closer to the 6k steps. The more I lost, the more active I became. I don't enjoy exercising at all. I'd rather control what I put in my mouth.

It's one of the methods for intermittent fasting where you fast for 16 hours ( can drink water ) and when the fasting window closes or 16 hours of fasting gets completed you break your fast & continue eating for 8 hours ( or when the eating window opens) . There are many more methods like 14:10 , 12:12 , 15:9 etc you can choose according to your convenience. I hope I didn't make it hard to understand.

I love listening to ur video chats!! Sometimes I need to hear what u express! Saying that habit is like a muscle that gets stronger the longer u work it makes great sense! Thx! 💕

Very sensible. Pick a way of eating that is healthy and sustainable and works for you. I started eating low carb in May 2022 to reduce inflammation markers in my blood tests. I'm 63 and have ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, and Rheumatoid Arthritis so working out consistently is not always possible and I definitely can't spend 2 hours in the gym even when I am consistent. I also reduced the amount of calories I was eating at the beginning because I wanted to lose weight, but I did not focus on that and only weighed myself once every month or two. I lost 62 lbs in one year and my inflammation markers are now normal. I eat low carb, healthy, minimally processed foods for the most part, but I still include dark chocolate or other treats occasionally. I sometimes have cheat days (holidays for example), but always go back to my low carb lifestyle. Before I changed my diet, I used to snack a lot and that doesn't happen anymore. I don't get hungry between meals like I used to. I may eventually try to lose another 25 lbs., but right now I'm concentrating on gradually increasing my activity and resistance training to improve my muscle strength so my body feels better.

Thank you for this video! Watched it last night and It really inspired me to start focussing on my diet and cutting sugar today. Tonight I began having a sugar craving and turned on this video to stay focussed. So thank you again. Love the sweater and Aloha from Hawaii❤

So true. Consistency is key. I tried so many things in the past...vegan, vegetarian, WW, etc. But none of those diets were sustainable for me until I tried low carb. I never thought I would thrive on a low carb diet, but I think this is the sweet spot for me. I've lost weight, leaned out & I feel like this will be sustainable for me. Thank you for all your tips and recipes! I'm making one of your dishes right now as I'm typing (chicken enchilada bake).

You are absolutely right! I am 56 and had to loose weight and was in severe pain and could not walk. I ended up having double hip replacement however I got on a program called Optavia which taught me healthy habits and put my body in a slow fat burn. I have lost a total of 77 pounds in a year.

I agree you don't have to exercise to lose weight. However when you exercise you become healthier. You are lubricating your joints and when you build muscle you burn fat while being sedentary. Meaning while you're sitting on the couch and not doing much those larger muscles help burn fat. I am a big promoter of eating right and exercise to get the full benefits of being healthy. In addition your building endurance when you exercise.

So true!!! I had my gallbladder removed in November 2023 and I am down 27 pounds with a keto focused eating habit. I cut all sugars at first and carbs. It can be done ☺️☺️

Exercise IS necessary to maintain muscle, which affects your resting metabolic rate. I had an RMR done last year and mine was 1,079 calories. That means that I need that many calories just to stay alive - essentially, maintain body processes. Really?! Some people eat that much in one meal! It is estimated, based on various studies, that a sedentary person uses only 50-100 more calories over the RMR. (If you think that unlikely, consider the calories burned walking 10,000 steps - about 300-400 calories. Sedentary people typically only take about 1/4 that many steps.) Simply put, doing only what I must during the day would only require, at most, another 100 calories to maintain my current weight. Okay, that means that without exercise, I can only eat about 1,179 calories. Ugh! Deprivation! Is it any wonder that even people who lose weight on a diet and simply increase calories to “maintenance” level, gain weight back? Without increasing exercise, especially with weights, muscle mass is not increased and there is minimal change in RMR, if any. I am 76. If I don’t exercise, not only must I resign myself to minimal food intake, I will lose muscle mass at an increasing rate which will even further lower my RMR. I have high school friends - my own age - who are too frail to walk without a walker. Some require a wheelchair. It’s a matter of both poor diet and lack of exercise! (They are members of a religious community and cannot control their diet, as I can.) So, if you really want to maintain health and mobility, EXERCISE! You don’t need a gym! Carry things…Move more…Dance! Enjoy moving…enjoy life!

Thank you for this video, very helpful. 😊

Weight loss is great, but if health is the goal, exercise is a necessity for me. So many health benefits come from moving the body even if it’s only a 30 minute walk everyday.

Thanks for sharing about your experiences. For those on a low-carb diet and have lost weight, what’s the recommended macro ratio of carbs, fat, and protein?

Oh my gosh, I LOVE Magic Spoon cereal! It tastes just like the stuff we ate as kids, without all the junk. I have it every morning because I hurt too much (I have rheumatoid arthritis, which is why I do keto for its anti-inflammatory effects) to have to cook (it's also why I can't do a lot of exercise). I also eat a lot of Kaizen pastas, which are made from lupin flour. It's like eating real pasta again, too. They have a rice version, too, which makes a fantastic pilaf, too, so you can have a great side dish. It's insanely high in protein, so only eat the serving size or you'll be too stuffed! I boil the noodles for 3-4 minutes, instead of 7 like the package directions call for. I find 7 minutes makes it a bit too soggy. I have been doing keto off and on for the past 6 years, although the off times have been too long. The problem is other people living in my house instead of just me and my husband. If it was just us, like it's supposed to be at this stage of our lives (we're 59 and 60 years old), then it would be easy to stay keto. I did lose 60 pounds within the first 3 months, and I probably regained half of it, but I have not regained all and then some, like most diets lead to. That's because I eat keto as much as possible, except for when I can't.

Love your sweatshirt. Aloha from Hawaii!

Great video! The reasons I like to exercise and be more active in general are because exercise gives me "wiggle room" for making dietary mistakes, it ensures I will burn fat instead of muscle, and I simply feel better. I don't do anything extreme, just moderate exercise and activity, and that way I don't have to go extreme either way to get the results I want.

Exercising make you lose mostly water weight, while gaining muscle, which makes you seem like gaining weight. Keto help you lose the fat by allowing your body to use carbohydrate gained fat first as energy instead of STORING it. Your body stores fat and uses carbs as energy source.

I’m 5 ft 7 and went from 193 to around 160. I like the Catalina crunch cereal. I looked at the magic spoon brand but I’d says it contains a bioengineered ingredient. Wasn’t sure about that. What do you think ? TIA. Love your videos and recipes. The low carb cornbread is a favorite 💙Cheryl

I've lost 50 lbs by just eating healthier and fasting. I have my days, but when I fall off the good eating pattern I immediately try to get back on track as fast as I can, but I will have a meal or so once a week that might have a little more carbs or something. However, this is much better than eating the way I use to, and ordering DoorDash 3 times a week. Thanks for the video Mayra

I learned how to balance. I am still calorie counting even though I probably don’t need to. It’s just a tool I like. I definitely work out though. I like feeling strong and healthy. I work out about 6 days a week on average, a mix of cardio, resistance and I’ve just introduced Pilates. Coming from being over 300 lbs I am in awe of myself and I will never go back. Working out is apart of my lifestyle now. Everything you are saying Myra is true. Yall listen to this woman lol. If I could say anything, even if you don’t have to workout, do it anyway. You only have one body. Love it and see all the things it can do for you while you have it.

Thanks for the discount code. I’m just ordered the variety pack of cereal. 39.00 to 34.00. YaY!!!

So true. My son says my walks are equal to one Oreo. I disagree. I walk for an hour. I could eat half a bag of Oreos in an hour. Therefore, it’s worth half a bag. 😅

I’m here researching lowcarb. 6 months ago, I started eating plant based, with potatoes and rice being central to my meals. It was sustainable for me, however I ended up gaining weight. It’s really frustrating. I’m just trying to take care of myself as I get older, what’s the solution?
