Common questions
Can you lose weight after menopause while eating more food?
Bryn did. She went from a size 8 or 10 to a size six and lost over 25 pounds while working up to more than 2,000 calories a day. Nikkiey explains that the muscle Bryn built raised her resting metabolic rate, which is what lets her eat more.
How long should you stay in a fat loss phase?
Nikkiey says it is unique for everyone and depends on your body composition and journey. Someone might be in fat loss for four weeks or three months, so she avoids putting timelines on it, but she is clear that fat loss is not forever.
