4 Things Women Over 40 Who Lose Fat Do Differently

Here's What Women Over 40 Who Lose Weight (and KEEP it Off) Know... What NO longer works: 1. Cardio - gone are the days of doing excessive cardio. Believe it or not - that no longer works for women over 40 and can put more stress on our bodies. We need to turn to strength training - 3x’s/week. 2. Eating under 1200 calories. I know we think this is the solution to lose weight but it is NOT! We need to eat to fuel our body and burn fat. By limiting food intake, it is only harming our bodies - not helping it. 3. Limiting Carbs. I know we are overly cautious when it comes to eating carbs. We think they are the enemy so we prepare our plate by removing or limiting them. Yes - processed carbs are the enemy but healthy carbs are not. 4. Exercise then sit all day. Back in the day, I think we spent a lot of time in the gym exercising but then we came home and sat the rest of the day. I think many of us still do that today. We think that because we got our 30-60 minute exercise in - we can then sit around the rest of the day.
