Summary

In this episode, Kim dives deep into the science and strategy behind fat loss and body recomposition for menopausal women. She explains why the macro calculator in the app is already designed to reflect the lower energy needs of menopause, debunks the “eat more to lose fat” myth, and shares how to train smarter — not longer — for maximum results. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the logic behind Butt Camp’s famous “active rest” design, plus updates on the upcoming Buns & Guns Challenge. What you’ll learn in this episode: – Why menopausal women may need 200 fewer calories (and how the app adjusts for that)– The truth about insulin resistance, glucose uptake, and menopause metabolism– Why “eat more to burn fat” is often misleading advice– How muscle is really built (spoiler: not by eating more)– Cardio guidelines: how much is enough, and why cortisol clickbait is unhelpful– When to push through discomfort and when to rest– How to use active rest, supersets, and short workouts for better results– The mindset shift behind results: consistency beats perfection, every time This is real talk and real strategy for women who want lean muscle, better health, and sustainable fat loss — especially through perimenopause and menopause. ✨ Follow Kim Constable online for more real talk and daily motivation:📺 YouTube: The Sculpted Vegan📸 Instagram: @thesculptedvegan🎵 TikTok: @thesculptedvegan🌐 Website: thesculptedvegan.com

0:00.0	welcome to this Q&A everybody. Welcome to everybody who's here live, a really good amount of you show up
0:07.4	every week live, which is fantastic. And I'm sorry that we've had daylight savings. I apologize for the
0:12.0	daylight savings. I don't have any control over it. So I know it's an hour earlier for most of you.
0:16.9	And it seems like everybody got the memo though when everybody's shown up so well done for paying
0:21.3	attention well done gold star for all of you today so let's get started with the questions we have
0:27.6	d ramjet is asking the first question and she says kim i have a question based on something you spoke
0:33.7	about in the last q and i regarding menopausal women requiring 200 calories less per day
0:39.0	to maintain their current weight. My question is, does the macrocalculator here on the app take
0:43.9	this into account when providing a calorie guide? For example, my TDE was calculated at 1,800 calories
0:50.4	to maintain my current weight. Do I need to subtract 200 calories from this number for maintenance and even more for
0:55.7	fat loss?

0:57.2	Okay, Dee, this is a really great question.
0:58.8	And the answer is yes and no.
1:01.5	Yes and no.

1:16.1	I purposely said it that way because people always tend to overestimate the amount of exercise
1:22.7	that they're doing. And that's the bottom line. So, sorry, I don't know why this keeps freezing and then loading again.
1:28.6	So people always tend to overestimate the amount of exercise they're doing. So I tend to,
1:34.7	I tend to set the calculations lower than they would need to be because I always err on the side
1:41.2	of caution because you're not, you you're you know if someone is under
1:45.1	eating slightly then they can you know they can have a snack or they can have a little bit off
