Losing weight after 40
So, how can you make losing weight after 40 easier for yourself? These tips might help you out!
- Stop crash dieting: Ultimately, crash dieting leads to more weight gain and this yo-yo effect is bad for your health. Healthy and safe weight loss is only achievable if you do it in a way that’s sustainable in the long run.
- Work in small steps: When you suddenly drastically limit your food intake, your body will go into ‘survival mode’. This means that all the food you do consume will be stored as fat instead of it being burned as energy. If you want to lower your weekly calorie intake with 700 calories (which is about half a kilo in weight loss each week), it’s best to start with consuming 200 calories less and increase this until you’ve reached the goal of 700.
- Develop some muscles: More muscles equals burning more fat, even in rest mode. Go visit a gym to work on strength training (or do this at home). Cardio is important as well, but strength training is more effective in the long run.
- Drink green tea: Green tea will give your metabolism a boost and it functions as a natural fat burner. Plus, it will also help you keep your moisture levels balanced.
