MENO-BELLY GONE!
  • Dr. Anna Cabeca reveals menopause superfoods that helped her shed 80 pounds-including a 15¢ secret ingredient proven to make fat burn 200% faster

Desperate to feel better, she dove into research and began experimenting. It led Dr. Cabeca to superfood strategies that restored her well-being and allowed her to shed 80 pounds. Since then, the same strategies have helped thousands of patients and followers. "The right nutrients can soothe and even reverse virtually all symptoms of a woman's changing hormones," she says. Studies show they can even help burn menopause-related flab anywhere from 200% to 2,500% faster. Keep reading for the amazing how-to's.

Few of us are prepared for the general hormonal chaos that is triggered as levels of estrogen and other sex hormones begin to fall. "Hormones important to metabolism and health also plummet while hormones that promote weight gain and stress rise," says The Hormone Fix and MenuPause author. Most doctors typically only offer prescriptions to treat symptoms, never addressing the underlying cause. "But eating delicious, nutritious foods can rebalance hormones and give you your life back," she promises.

The basic diet Dr. Cabeca recommends is surprisingly simple: "Lots of green, low-carbohydrate vegetables with high-quality protein and healthy fats," she says. This reduces intake of excess carbs and processed foods, which brings down levels of belly-fattening hormones like insulin and cortisol. At the same time you get amino acids to quell hunger and build strong, metabolism-boosting muscle, and plenty of fiber to nourish bacteria in our gut that actively fight age-related health issues and belly fat. To take results to the next level, Dr. Cabeca recommends daily doses of her menopause superfoods.

Walk off 100 + pounds

Not long ago, Gina Buck got on a scale and saw that her weight had crept to 287 pounds. She was shocked. And then she started to get really worried about her health. \"l said, 'I'm not getting any closer to 300 pounds,\"' recalls the South Carolina retiree, 65, who has five beautiful granddaughters she wants to see grow up. \"So l went to the doctor for diet pills.\" Her doctor, a no-nonsense woman who'd overcome weight issues herself, agreed to three months of appetite suppressants as a jump-start. But she also \"prescribed\" long-term strategies, including taking 10,000 steps a day and intermittent fasting. \"It all made sense,\" Gina recalls. But after a lifetime of yo-yo dieting, she was skeptical she could actually make changes and stick with them. \"Even so, l figured l had to try.\" So she found free phone apps to count her steps and help get her eating on track. What Gina didn't realize: At that very moment, scientists were finishing experiments on the same strategies she was about to try. And they would ultimately find that intermittent fasting has the power to help walkers like Gina triple their fat loss. Wow!
