In today’s episode of Mastering Menopause, I’m breaking down the real results from the 14-day Rapid Fat Loss phase my clients and I just completed — and why this approach works so well for women in menopause when it’s done correctly.

We kicked this round off on January 5, right after the holidays. With inflammation high, stress elevated, and diet breaks already built in, I knew the timing was perfect for a strong fat loss response. And the results did not disappoint.

Across this group, women lost anywhere from 4 to 9.4 pounds in just 14 days, dropped up to 4.2 percent body fat, and lost 5 to 8 inches, primarily from the waist. Even my leaner clients saw meaningful changes — and I personally dropped 6.2 pounds myself.

In this episode, I explain why rapid fat loss is not something my clients do all the time, how it fits into my 90-day FIT AF framework, and why building metabolism first is non-negotiable if you want fast fat loss without rebound.

I also walk you through:

Why the first week always shows the biggest drop
What’s really happening when the scale stalls in week two
How strategic calorie increases can restart fat loss
Why hunger stays low after the initial transition
How sleep, energy, and workouts often improve during this phase
Exactly how we reintroduce calories without regaining the weight

This episode is for women in menopause who feel stuck, frustrated by slow progress, or scared that faster weight loss will “just come back.” When rapid fat loss is structured, protein-forward, and time-bound, it can be one of the most effective tools for creating momentum and long-term success.

I also share details about my upcoming free 5-day Menopot Meltdown challenge starting January 26, designed to help you build the foundation you need before attempting any fat loss phase.
