What To Do To Sustain Weight Loss For WomenAre you eternally frustrated because losing weight and keeping it off seems harder than it used to be? Don’t despair, because now you can succeed with just a few simple strategies in order to sustain your targets in weight loss for women 40+. It is an essential feature of your new-slim-you life to make a few important and essential lifestyle changes to help sustain weight loss, reduce fat storage and lower bad cholesterol.

 

Firstly, keep active and exercise as much as possible, go for a brisk walk whenever you can, preferably every day, take the stairs instead of the lift, do the gardening, go shopping, take some dancing lessons, basically whatever you enjoy that keeps you moving those underused muscles!

 

Midlife women lose bone density and muscle tone, both of which are crucial to weight maintenance and health and fitness. You should spend at least 20 minutes twice a week, on some kind of weight or resistance training exercises as well as cardio exercises such as yoga or swimming, that way you will build muscle tone and in turn burn calories even when you’re not working out.

 

Avoid daily stress at all costs. Besides being extremely bad for our health and one of the main causes of sleep deprivation and comfort eating, stress can trigger the release of the hormone cortisol, which in turn can stimulate hunger, so do whatever it takes to lower your stress levels – a warm bubble bath, a cup of camomile tea, a good book or a shopping spree.

 

Learn to eat smaller portions. As we get older we need less food and nutrition to maintain our weight. It is better to eat five or six smaller meals than three larger ones. Avoid unhealthy impulse snacks by planning ahead. Remember to lay off the salt, since midlife hormone changes already increase water retention, so why make it worse? A daily intake of calcium in readily available supplement form is very important as it enhances bone density and seems to promote and sustain weight loss for women 40+.

 

The most important and powerful advice to guide you towards your new slim you lifestyle is to live your life to the full; live around the limits you set for yourself by designing your own weight loss program that works just for you.
That way, your slim and healthy lifestyle will be an integral natural extension of your wonderful new life.
