WEIGHT LOSS


WEIGHT LOSS


Both men and women can have a problem regarding Weight Loss. This can be a slight problem or a huge problem for a lot of people depending on the severity. I have always noticed with those I have known, that men can take off pounds more easily than women. There may be many reasons for this. Finding out why women find it harder with Weight Loss could be that they are usually the ones who cook.


The cook can eat more calories because with food preparation the tasting for the right flavor or the right amount of spices adds to calorie intake. This can cause a slow and steady weight gain over the years. Most cooks that I know do taste their food before serving it to the family. Over a long period of time this can add calories slowly and more easily not being aware of this happening.


Women’s bodies change during menopause caused from the loss of hormones. This causes many changes in her body from having hot flashes, being the most commonly known. However weight gain can also happen because of losing energy as she get older which causes less exercise.


During menopause many women go through a mental change too. They no longer are able to do the function that women were made for, having babies. This can bring on depression and with depression can come eating more and differently. They may crave sweets or other high calorie food, or just more food.


Most women read about the effects of menopause, and they probably are aware of the pitfalls. Knowing about the problems that arise, they could get help with medication and the help of their doctor. Starting an exercise program can be helpful any time during ones life. Walking is an excellent exercise and can be done without any equipment. It is always safest to not walk alone in most instances.


By forming a walking group or just a walking partner helps keep one to be responsible and also safer. They don’t want to ruin someone else’s walking and so will often go even if they feel too tired or not want to go. I walk with several other women and I enjoy walking, talking, and laughing together. We also do bird watching along the way. We don’t stop walking but we keep an eye out for birds as we walk along the way. We are enjoying walking together. We only let bad weather stop us.


With a little planning and determination, you can find a way for Weight Loss that will fit in your life style. The reward is better health and a more enjoyable and longer life. It is worth the work that it takes putting together a plan designed just for you.

To your success,
