Easy Ways For Women Over 40 To Lose Weight
Fact is that as we all age with each passing decade,
We are gradually losing muscle mass & our metabolism is also slowing down.
Its not just women, same thing happens to men
There are hundreds of different ways to lose weight but the problem
is that not all these methods work for everyone!
The simplest way as most experts will tell you is to consume
less calories daily & include some exercise every day to burn off
some of these calories.
But I don't want to exercise I hear you say or I dont have the time?
This does not have to be hard work & here are some easy to do methods
you can start doing today.
Eat A Big Breakfast
Your goal is to consume most of your calories early in the day.
Don't overeat at lunch time & your evening meal should be the smallest of the day.
For your evening meal try to cut down or avoid calorie loaded carbs like
potatoes, pasta rice etc. Instead try to consume protein with fresh fruit & vegatables.
Try To Get more Sleep
Plan to get 7 or 8 hours sleep every night.
Yes it does help, people who regularly sleep less than 6 hours nightly are more lightly
to gain weight over time.
Cut Down Or Avoid Alcohol
Alcohol does contain many calories the more glasses of wine or beer you consume
increases your calorie count & also your waistline.
Alcohol can also increase your hunger making you more prone to going to the cupboard
& consuming easy calorie loaded snacks like chips, biscuits, chocolate etc.
Do Some Daily Excercise.
Walking is one of the easiest ways & very effective if done regularly over time.
Try starting with just a 10 minute walk every night after dinner & gradually increase
your walking speed & distance over a few weeks.
At the weekend leave the car at home & instead walk to your local store or supermarket if possible.
Large shopping malls are also a great place to walk around, you can cover a large distance
& also do some browsing along the way.
Drink Plenty Of Water .
Water is a great way to keep you hydrated & also assists with weight loss.
Drinking a glass of warm water daily boosts your metabolism by breaking down the fat molucules in your diet.
Best of all it does not cost anything.
