What is occurring when your body is becoming older? Simplified, your metabolic process slows. Compared to a 20 year old woman, a 40 year old woman burns 10 to 15% calories less- but the consuming habits usually do not change:
A 40 year old women needs 300 calories per day less, if at age 30 she needed 2000 calories. That's approximately contained in a piece of cake, 3 bananas or two cans of soda. Given these numbers, you'll put on approximately 1 pound every 2 weeks or 26 per year if you do not shrink your calorie consumption.
In addition, the body transforms more muscles into fat- making losing weight over 40 permanently even harder. A physical exercise program aiming at the whole body is very important- and it will brighten your mood too.
The female body is programmed to store fat much more efficiently than the male body. The reason is easy to understand: When you get pregnant, your body has to provide for two. Unfortunately, the effective fat storage does not alter after menopause.
For many women over 40 the level of physical activity shifts too. Young mothers get a lot of exercise just by being with their children. This changes when the children become older and are more on their own. The day-to-day lives of many women over 40 are loaded with things to do, so they often do not have a chance to participate in a regular exercise program at a gym. Quick meal preparation is crucial for many women over 40, so they buy packaged food or eat out. These foods are known for containing too much fat.
Stress levels at work are frequently increasing as well and stress is a major component of failing to lose weight permanently.
