subject: Weight Loss And Fitness For Women In Their 30s [print this page] Men and women are the sameMen and women are the same. At this point in time, they have the same skills, competency and equal opportunities. But in a way, everyone would have to admit that the two genders also have differences. In losing weight, for example, most if not all programs often have separate healthy weight loss tips for women and men.
To begin with, your natural metabolic rate is a bit slower than it was 10 years ago. This means that on an average, your body burns fewer calories than it used to. Also, a woman's body begins to experience hormonal changes into her 30s. Skin elasticity begins to fall and tiny wrinkles begin to appear on the face. Skin renewal is also slower. These changes are not drastic or sudden, but if you are in your 30s, the process has probably begun and you need to take some corrective measures to keep yourself looking young and healthy, while you lose weight. In the forthcoming years, apart from a good skin care program, it is crucial for you to maintain a healthy diet.
Remember that if you are on the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program, it is only designed to run for nine days. That's quite a short period of time and surely not too long a time to be able to keep to a strict regime, especially when you know you will maximize your weight loss.
Everyday, you should take breakfast, you can have a bowl of high-fiber cereal with a banana or yogurt. But if you are too lazy or you don't have much time, then a healthy cereal bar would be fine. Without having a proper breakfast everyday, you won't be able to drop your weight permanently.
Start an online food journal/weight loss blog. The food journal will show you where you make your biggest food mistakes. For example if you tend to slip up and indulge in the afternoon you can plan to do things to distract yourself from cravings at that time. The weigh loss blog will help to hold you accountable for the mistakes you make from day to day. Having your mistakes laid out in front of you will make them more easily to avoid in the future
Maintain a low fat diet. Select a low fat diet which maintains daily intake of 20-30 gms of fat. Have a list of fat counts for many foods. Little changes on your diet can make long term permanent weight loss. Eat popcorn instead of potato chips.
Know the prescribed calorie intake for you and follow it. Yes, you may hate counting calories but this is something that you should learn to make sure that you are not eating more than you should. Be aware however that calorie intake is not gender specific alone. You also have to consider your age and your current weight to determine it.
