Weight Loss Over 40\'s

Health and Wellness - Weight loss

Many women over 40 do not succeed in losing the weight they’d like to lose. Seriously, how often have you tried to lose weight without a permanent result? When working with women over 40 I observe the same risks preventing permanent, lasting weight loss over and over…

Deficit in Social Contacts, Care and Sexuality
Women often tend to make up emotional needs by eating- making it impossible to lose weight permanently:

• Extend your circle of friends and socialize more frequently
• Cultivate existing friendly relationships
• Respect your personal life; Put more emphasis on your private life and take time for yourself

Not enough sun
Sunlight has many benefits for our physical and emotional well-being making it easier to lose weight permanently:

• Go outside daily, not enough sunlight creates cravings for sweets
• Avoid wearing sunglasses on a cloudy or dreary day
• During winter months, go to a tanning salon from time to time or get a lamp that produces light similar to daylight

Too much alcohol
Alcohol is high in calories and stimulates hunger:

• Avoid alcohol when you are feeling blue or are depressed.
• Drink only on occasion and in social situations, and never drink when you are alone
• Avoid drinks high in alcohol content

Hormones and Medicament-Induced Side Effects
For a woman over 40 the delicate hormone balance changes- permanent weight loss is harder to achieve:

• If you go through sudden weight gain, consult a physician
• Some drugs cause weight gain – talk to your doctor
• Never end taking a drug without the advice of your physician

Mistakes with Nutrition
Over 40 the body stores fat much easier.
By paying close care to your nutrition, permanent weight loss is possible:

• Eat a lot of fresh fruit, veggies and whole wheat products
• Read labels and think of hidden fats in foods such as processed foods, cheese, sausage and pastries
• Prepare your foods using a healthy method such as steaming, roasting or stewing, and avoid frying. Leave off breaded foods and dressings high in fat.
• “Avoid many of the “”white”" foods that hold empty carbohydrates such as sugar, flour, bread, cake and rice
• Control labels before purchasing a product to see how many calories it contains
• Avoid processed foods
• Artificial sweeteners might stimulate your appetite, so try not to use them
