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 care 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 well-balanced, full-value mixed diet.

Avoid getting too hungry which results in overindulging

Stress reduction

Stress is one of the biggest causes of weight gain and inability to lose weight permanently for women over 40.

Learn and Use Relaxation Methods

Practice conscious breathing and go collected through your day

Record stressful situations on paper and determine how to avoid or deal with them

Uncontrollable Eating As a Alternative for Unmet Needs

Many women over 40 eat to counterbalance, making it impossible to lose weight permanently:

Not planning your meals in advance can lead to eating too many calories

Plan a meal for each day that reflects your actual calorie requirements

Pay attention to your body - Different moods will stimulate you to eat when you are not hungry.

Have a plan of action for managing with these moods, e.g. take a walk, call a friend or meet friends socially.

Genetics

Some women have a biological tendency to gain weight after 40.

If your parents and grandparents are overweight, you might belong to this group making it tougher for you to lose weight permanently:

Conscious nutrition and regular physical activity is particularly crucial if you belong to this group

Accept the fact that you will probably never be as slim as a supermodel.

Don’t place too much of your money in diets and products, better get a fashion and beauty consultation

Too Little Physical Activity

Women over 40 often begin gradually a desk-bound lifestyle- but physical activity is important to lose weight permanently:

Begin more physical exercise in your everyday life, for instance 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

Numerous easy exercises can be done at home without much equipment. Begin the habit of doing them
