How To Lose Weight In Your 40s
As you get older, not only do *you* change as a person, but your body changes, too.
Unfortunately, your body is ALWAYS going to be changing. This kind of stinks, because it means that you are also going to have to keep changing what you do to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
But, heres the good news
Its not that difficult!
Today were going to talk about how to lose weight in your 40s. This is a super important post, because a lot of women dont realize that this is around the age where your body starts to go through some BIG changes.
BRAND-NEW: Research Shows These 3 Sugar Substitutes Are Best For Burning Fat (Plus 2 You Should NEVER Eat)What am I talking about? Well for starters, your hormones start to go a little crazy after hitting 40. Hormones are chemical, and they control most of your body.
So, they have their hand in everything from reproduction to telling you how hungry you are.
In your 40s, your body starts reaching menopause which is when reproductive hormones start to decline. No biggie!
BUTthis is a big reason why your body might start changing.
Additionally, your 40s is when you start to lose lean muscle and your metabolism naturally starts to slow down. Again, this happens to almost everyone!
And, now that you know why youve been feeling a little out of whack, we can start to make those changes and get you back to feeling like youre 22!
So, I know this is what everyone has been waiting for How do you lose weight in your 40s?!
The good thing is there are some really simple ideas that promote weight loss even with the changes your body goes through around this age.

1) Cut out sugar and processed carbs.
I know, I know. These are the foods you just crave!
But theyre not great for you. And when you go through these massive body changes, loading up on sugar and processed carbs is only going to make it more difficult to lose weight.
Cutting this out of your diet as much as possible will help shed a few quick pounds.

2) Make breakfast your big meal of the day.
This study showed that women who ate most of their calories early in the day lost over twice the amount of weight as those who had most of their calories as the day went on.
While youre eating a bigger breakfast, throw in some eggs. This study indicates that people who had eggs for breakfast saw a far bigger drop in their body mass index and a bigger decrease in their waist width than those who didnt!
Sounds like an easy plan to me.

3) Drink more water (and cut out the soda!).
Try to aim for two glasses of water per meal. Drinking water has been shown to aid in weight loss, and its important that your body gets the right amount of water every day.
If you aim for two glasses per meal, it equals out to six per day, which is the recommended amount for women. Even though this seems like a lot, spacing it out throughout the day makes it a lot easier to accomplish!
4) Get your chocolate fix with dark chocolate.
Its always important to indulge and I have always said that its not healthy to NEVER eat something a little sweet. Of course, its all about moderation.

Cocoa has a lot of polyphenols, which has been shown to reduce inflammation.
This could help reduce a persons propensity to be overweightand, as an added bonus, its a healthier option for sweets than milk chocolate!

5) Add probiotics into your meals.
Yum! Probiotics. (I know, we talk about it a lot on here!)
But thats just because theyre so important! Probiotics are live microorganisms, and healthy ones can improve your gut.
This study found that adding probiotics into your diet can reduce weight gain. A probiotic-filled diet can help flatten out your stomach, too.
Try eating things like kombucha, yogurt, kimchi (one of my favorites), and sauerkraut!

How To Make Sure You Get The Right Probiotics To Boost Your Fat Loss
Eating probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kombucha can go a long way in boosting your gut health.
And yes, studies have shown that probiotics can help you lose weight so add that to the list of probiotic benefits!
However, did you know that only certain strains of probiotics have been linked to weight loss?
(And even worse, other probiotic strains can even lead to weight GAIN??)
So, when you eat probiotic-rich foods you dont exactly know which strains youre getting.
You might luck out and get the probiotic strains that DO help you lose weight or you might be getting strains that dont do anything for your weight at all
And worst case scenario? Youre eating probiotics that could make you pack on even more pounds!
Thats why its so important to know which probiotic strains youre getting. The only way to do that (unless you have a science lab in your home) is to choose a probiotic supplement that contains the specific probiotic strains proven to aid weight loss.
Right now, theres only ONE probiotic supplement on the market that has all 4 strains that have been scientifically proven to help you shed pounds.
