Seriously, how often have you tried to lose weight without a permanent result?
When working with women over 40 I notice the same risks that prevent permanent, lasting weight loss over and over…
Excessive Starvation Diets
Deprivation diets start a cycle of weight loss, weight gain.
Less than 5% of all of these dieters lose weight permanently.
Strive for an easy lifestyle change instead:
Pay attention to your natural “I feel satisfied” signs when eating and stop.
Relax and extend your meals to last at least 15 minutes so your body gets the signal that you are satisfied.
Change your nutrition long-term to a well-balanced, full-value mixed diet.
Avoid getting too hungry which results in overindulging
Stress reduction
Stress is one of the greatest causes of weight gain and inability to lose weight permanently for women over 40.
Acquire relaxation methods
Practice conscious breathing and go collected through your day
Write down stressful situations and how you either can avoid or deal with them
Uncontrollable Eating As a Substitute for Unmet Needs
Many women over 40 eat to counterbalance, making it impossible to lose weight permanently:
Not planning your meals in advance can result ineating too many calories
Have a meal plan for each day reflecting your actual calorie requirements
Pay attention to your body – Different moods will stimulate you to eat when you are not hungry.
Have strategies available to cope with these moods, e. g. have a walk, call somebody on the phone or contact friends
Genetics
Some women have a natural disposition to gain weight after 40.
If your parents and grandparents are overweight, you might belong to this group making it harder for you to lose weight permanently:
Calculated nutrition and regular physical activity is particularly important if you belong to this group
Admit that you might never be thin like a supermodel.
Realize that you should invest more in style and beauty consultations so that you feel enchanting and accept yourself, but don’t spend a lot of money on diets and magic products
Less Physical Activity
Women over 40 frequently start gradually a sedentary lifestyle- but physical activity is key to lose weight permanently:
Bring exercise to your day-to-day routine. For example, walk instead of drive when your destination is within close distance, and take the stairs instead of the elevator
Get a physical fitness plan and find some friends to do it in a group
Numerous simple exercises can be done at home without much equipment. Start the habit of doing them
