I hear this question often - it reflects the experience of many 40 year old women. Most have been on at least 5, if not more diets, products or weight loss programs. But up to now they couldn't lose weight permanently. It has a lot to do with the hormone system. Compared to a 20 year old woman, the metabolism of a 40 year old works much slower.
Given the time constraints of most middle-aged women you probably won't be able to make up for this by increasing your exercise time. Here are a couple of tips which will help you to lose weight permanently:
\"Simply Weight Loss\"
First, you need to be clear what your motivation is and keep that motivation always on top of your mind. Write it down and post it around the house so you see it several times a day- especially everywhere you store food.
Second, get your hormone system going as best as you can. You need to look for healthy nutrition and stress management. Your hormone system cannot function properly if it doesn't get the right nutrients, and stress will challenge your hormonal balance as well.
Third you need to understand that your body demands more calories than you can allow yourself to consume. This means: You need to handle having a slight feeling of hunger most of the time. The easiest way to address this situation is eating 5-6 small meals per day, so you always feel full. Being emotionally well-balanced helps too- you might need to learn some stress-releasing techniques.
Last, being physically active will not only get your hormones up, it will energize you too. Many 40 year old women have little to no time for exercising. But, if you can integrate 15 minutes in the morning and in the evening on 6 days a week, you will feel better and increase your chances to lose weight permanently greatly.
