How Women Over 40 Can Lose Weight Permanently - The Top Dangers Preventing Your Success

If you are a woman over 40, you may be unsuccessful in losing the amount of weight you desire.
Seriously, how many times have you tried to lose weight without a permanent result?
When doing work with with women over 40 I observe the same dangers that prevent permanent, lasting weight loss again and again...


Extreme Starvation Dieting
Each deprivation diet begins another weight loss-weight increase round.
Less than 5% of all of these dieters lose weight permanently.
Strive for an easy lifestyle change instead:
Pay attention to your body. When eating, stop when your body signals that you are "satisfied".
Relax and extend your meals to last at least 15 minutes so your body gets the signal that you are satisfied.
Modify your nutrition long-term to a balanced, full-value mixed diet.
Avoid getting too starved which results in overeating

Decrease stress
Stress is closely linked to weight gain and inability to lose weight permanently:
Learn and Apply Relaxation Methods
Practice conscious breathing and go composed through your day
Write down stressful situations and how you either can avoid or deal with them

Uncontrolled Eating As a Substitute for Unmet Needs
Women over 40 are likely to overeat to compensate for things that are absent in their lives, making it very hard to lose weight permanently:
Not planning your meals in advance can result ineating too many calories
Have a meal plan for every day reflecting your actual calorie requirements
Pay attention to your body - Different moods will cause you to eat when you are not hungry.
Have a plan of action for dealing with these moods, e.g. take a walk, call a friend or meet acquaintances socially.

Genetics
Many women inherit the inclination to gain weight after 40.
If your parents and grandparents are heavy, you might belong to this group making it tougher for you to lose weight permanently:
Calculated nutrition and regular physical activity is particularly important if you belong to this group
Consent with the fact that you will probably never be as slim as a supermodel.
Don’t invest too much of your money in diets and products, better get a style and beauty consultation


Physical Inactivity
Women over 40 frequently start gradually a inactive lifestyle- but physical activity is crucial to lose weight permanently:
Begin more exercise in your day-to-day life, for example use the stairway instead of the elevator or walk instead of taking the car
Get a physical fitness program and get some friends to do it in a group
Do simple exercises at home, and build a habit
