Weight Loss Advice For Women
As we get older things naturally start to slow down
And it becomes more and more important that women exercise to combat this
If you are someone who has trained for most of their life then you have a good base to help with this
But for those who haven’t, now is even more important that you find the right exercise and nutritional program for you
With significant changes in hormones, metabolism, energy levels…. It can be tough and fatigue is a huge reason why some women cannot get going to stick to a plan
One of the most significant changes is the way our metabolism functions
Understanding this is essential in putting together an effective weight loss plans as well as getting the right guidance and advice
In this post we break down each section and take you through understanding your metabolism as well as the steps you can take to help you on your weight loss journey
Understanding Metabolism
Metabolism is the process through which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy
This energy is used to sustain a host bodily function, even when you are at rest
As we age, particularly after the age of 35, the metabolic rate tends to slow down, which can often lead to weight gain
Factors Affecting Metabolism
Several factors influence your metabolic rate, including genetics, muscle mass, and hormonal changes
As women cross the age of 35, hormonal fluctuations become more prominent, which can significantly affect the metabolic rate
Being aware of these factors can provide valuable weight loss advice to women navigating this phase of life
Muscle mass is also a huge factor in your basic metabolic rate and one of the reason why strength based training is heavily promoted for women who are peri-menopausal and menopausal
Dietary Adjustments
One of the primary strategies for adapting to metabolic changes is modifying your food intake
Incorporating a balanced diet rich in nutrients can aid in maintaining a healthy metabolic rate
80% of your daily intake should be consumed by single ingredient foods
These are foods such as
Fruits
Vegetables
Lean Meats
Grains
Legumes
Beans
Nuts and Seeds
This is to ensure you get in sufficient nutrients from your daily food intake
Water and Weight Loss
Hydration plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy metabolism
Drinking sufficient water can help in boosting your metabolic rate, aiding in weight loss
We recommend at least 3 litres of water per day
Lack of water can also affect;
Energy
Digestion
Sleep
Concentration
Recovery
Mood
Understanding Hormonal Changes
As women age, they experience a series of hormonal changes that can often lead to weight gain
Understanding these changes and how they affect your body can provide insightful weight loss advice
