Are you a woman over 40? Couldn't you lose as much weight as you'd like to?
How often have you tried seriously to lose weight without achieving a permanent result?
When working with women over 40 I see the same risks to permanent, durable weight loss again and again...

Deficit in Attention, Social Life and Sex
Women frequently tend to cover emotional needs by eating- making it impossible to lose weight permanently:

• Extend your circle of friends and socialize more often
• Cultivate existing friendly relationships
• Value your personal life;Accentuate your private life and take time for yourself

Receive more sunlight
Sunshine has many benefits for our physical and emotional well-being making it easier to lose weight permanently:

• Go outside every day. Too little sunshine creates cravings for sweets
• Avoid wearing sunglasses on a cloudy or dreary day
• During winter months, go to a tanning salon once in a while or get a lamp that produces light similar to daylight

Too much alcohol
Alcohol contains many calories and causes eating:

• Avoid alcohol when you are feeling blue or are down.
• Only drink occasionally and in social situations, never when alone
• Avoid beverages high in alcohol content

Hormones and Medicament-Induced Side Effects
For women over 40 the delicate hormone balance changes- permanent weight loss is tougher to achieve:

• If you experience sudden weight gain, consult a physician
• Some drugs cause weight gain - talk to your physician
• Never discontinue a drug on your own

Errors in Nutrition
Over 40 the body stores fat much better.
By paying close care to your nutrition, permanent weight loss is possible:

• Eat a lot of fresh fruit, veggies and whole wheat products
• Read labels and think of hidden fats in foods such as processed foods, cheese, sausage and pastries
• Prepare your foods using a healthy method such as steaming, roasting or stewing, and avoid frying. Leave off breaded foods and dressings high in fat.
