Fat and Over 40 - How To Lose Weight Intelligently? By Rosemary Taylor

Have you ever b e en envious of people who seem to be able to eat just about anything , and they never seem to put on weight. They could spend all day and every day in McDonalds eating nothing but junk and they still wouldn’t put on an inch. They can eat buckets of ice cream, endless bags of potato chips and they don’t put on an ounce. Its not fair!

“You may have read in magazines and other media that, factors such as your genes play a part in how big you are, and whether or not it has been predetermined for you to have an efficient or sluggish metabolic rate. If yours has always been sluggish then you are more likely to put on fat than the person who can endlessly stuff themselves with McDonalds, and this is because their metabolic rate is more efficient than yours. To top it all, the situation gets even worse as you get older and effects more people over the age of 40, particularly women.

Why mainly women? Well, men have less body fat and more muscle mass than women, so their metabolism is faster because muscle burns calories faster. Other factors besides age and gender come into play of course, including muscle to fat ratio, and how efficiently your hormones are functioning. Ultimately, it seems that the people who can eat anything they like without the worry of weight gain, have an efficient metabolic rate and are able to burn up all the calories that they consume. So what are they doing that you’re not, and what do you need to do to get your metabolic rate firing on all cylinders?

Your brain is in charge!

Did you know that it’s your brain that is in control of the fat burning hormones and it releases them after each meal, well it’s a fact! There are two types of hormone released into the bloodstream every time you eat some food and they are in control of fat storage and fat burning. The type of food that you eat will either make you fat or make you thin. Although exercising will help, and it will tone your body, you are not fat because you don’t exercise enough, you are getting fat because you are eating the wrong types of food at the wrong times of day. So, the clever part is,  if you get it right, is that it will work better than any fat loss pills or any fad diets and the results will last.

What type of food and when to eat it?

Think of you body as if it were a machine that needs nourishment every day but at regular intervals. Give it the wrong nourishment at the wrong times and it will keep it to one side, stored as fat. If you have been putting on weight gradually over time, it could simply be because you have been eating the wrong foods. You don’t need to starve or deprive yourself of food, because if you do, your metabolism will register a reduction in your calorie intake, and it will then go into survival mode by burning less calories and storing the rest for emergencies. You don’t even need to spend hours down the gym in an attempt to shed those pounds, you just need to eat the Right Food at the Right Times!

Where do you go from here?

Ultimately, eating less food is not going to work so you need to re-think and break away from the old ideas you have about weight loss. You now need to shake up your old belief system and shock your metabolism to the core by changing your eating habits completely.
