Meet 4 Women Who Lost 374 Lbs in Menopause by Building Muscle

They prove tricks from Dr. Vonda Wright’s new book ‘Unbreakable’ work age-defying, waist-shrinking wonders

Want to stay incredibly strong, lean, energized, healthy and happy into your 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond? Unbreakable author Vonda Wright, MD, is on a mission to help you (and all women!) do just that. Read more in her recent Woman’s World cover feature. The key strategy she recommends for healthy longevity: Building muscle mass. Because strong muscles act as armor against weight gain, injury and age-related diseases that might otherwise tarnish the shine of your golden years. And if you want proof of how well it works—especially for menopause weight loss—we’ve got it!

Check out Dr. Wright, who appears on the cover of this week’s Woman’s World magazine (get your copy here!), where she shares how you can set yourself up for a long, strong life.

Dr. Wright personally focused on key strategies like increasing protein intake and strength training to “recomposition” her own post-menopause body, naturally displacing 33 percent of her body fat as she gained eight pounds of firm muscle. She also restored her stamina, eliminated brain fog and generally got her swagger back. Good news: Many other women report similar life-changing benefits. We’d like to introduce you to four of them.

Biz, Lisa, Sheryl and JoAnn are women who incorporated key Unbreakable principles while struggling with age-related weight and health issues. Like Dr. Wright, the main dietary strategy they used was increasing protein, a nutrient that “feeds” muscles and helps them grow while simultaneously causing biochemical shifts that reduce hunger and cravings (Check out  how much protein you need for weight loss). 

In addition to following a healthy diet, they also became more active, with special focus on adding strength training—because nothing builds muscle better or faster (find Dr. Wright’s free beginners routine at TheUnbreakableBook.com). All four women agree that their lives will never be the same.
