Are you a woman over 40? Aren’t you as fit as you’ve used to be? Do you observe fat building up on your belly, and do you want to lose belly fat? A decline in fitness and gaining belly weight is typical for women over 40- you are not alone with that. But: It can be very frustrating when the scale does not budge and you want to get into your old clothes again. In this article you’ll get the top 10 expert tips on how to get fit fast and to lose belly fat for a woman over 40.
1. Observe what you are eating from a neutral position and write it down. A food journal helps greatly in reviewing your calorie intake- do the review regularly, for example every Sunday.
2. Stop eating 3 hours before bedtime. Give you body an opportunity to digest all food and start the fat burning mechanism over night. You’ll lose weight in your sleep- can it be any better?
3. Avoid added sugar. These can come in the form of corn syrup as well. Sodas, fancy coffee drinks and shakes tend to contain a lot of added sugar. Even fruit juices (claiming to be healthy) are often “sugared up”.
4. Clean your drawers at home and at work from all snacks. From now on, carry always with you some vegetables to snack on. Carrots and broccoli crowns are great for that. You can’t eat too much of those- the fiber will fill you up quickly.
5. Try to avoid all processed and packaged foods. They might look convenient, but if you want to control what goes into your food you have to prepare it yourself. If you really think you need to buy processed food, check if it contains any trans fats. If so, don’t buy it.IKARIA LEAN BELLY JUICE REVIEW
6. Eat breakfast. Many people skip breakfast because they think it reduces their overall calorie intake. That’s not true: usually they overcompensate by eating too much in the evenings.
7. Before eating, fill your stomach with clear, low-calorie soup or water. It helps with portion control.
8. Some people (I belong to this group) have a hard time losing weight when they are consuming dairy products. Skip milk and dairy products for 2 weeks and see if it helps. Soy milk will help with declining estrogen levels in women over 40, so it’s a great substitute for milk.
9. Have enough water or herbal tea. You need to flush toxins out of your system- and the best way to do that is by drinking enough. Check my recent article “Lose Belly Fat by Drinking Water” on ezinearticles.com if you want to learn more.
10. You might have heard before: Eat every 2-3 hours a small meal. And trust me: The subscribers of my “Lose Your Belly Fat” program say it really, really helps. Just make sure you do not go over your daily calorie limit. Your food journal will help you with that.
