Weight Loss Over Age Forty

By Robert Ghering


Dieting can be a slow process. At times it can be so slow that it almost seems as if there is no progress made at all. So it is no surprise that diet supplements are used by many American adults to help give their weight loss a boost. There's an entire weight loss sub-industry devoted to supplements which stops fat absorption, increase metabolism, and decrease appetite.

While it is true that most weight loss experts will not recommend most of the products that are sold as weight loss supplement, there are some which do seem to work. There are six products which can be bought at drug stores or health food stores and which have scientific evidence behind them that they help with weight loss:

He did have a number of recommendations and I'm going to share them here, in case there is still a female in this country that has not tuned into Dr. Oz's show on a daily basis. He pointed out that after age 50 the body burns 200 calories a day less because of estrogen loss. As you age and your eggs "shrivel," your body turns to your belly fat as a backup for storage of its estrogen. That being the case, you need to provide your body with an alternative source of estrogen. Dr. Oz recommends you grind up and eat two teaspoons of flax seeds daily to boost your estrogen.

Try introducing new healthy foods to your diet. If you do not get five fruits or vegetables a day, introducing more fruits and vegetables in your diet should be a priority. Go to the grocery store more often and look for fruits and vegetables that look appetizing. If you do not like a vegetable right away, try different ways to cook it. You should also try juicing so you can have a couple of glasses of juice a day to get your five portions of fruits and vegetables.

* Fiber - when trying to lose weight, a supplement that makes the individual feel full can help with weight loss. Fiber is definitely good at this and makes it much easier to not eat as much. One thing to be careful of, though is not to eat too much fiver because it can cause constipation.

Be active for at least thirty minutes a day. Going for a walk is a great way to burn calories after eating. If you cannot go for a walk, find an activity you can do to get some light exercise. You could for instance clean your house, play in the backyard with your children or work on a home improvement project.

Work out twice a week to tone your body. You should start by developing your core muscles, for instance by doing some sit ups and some crunches. Once working out becomes easier, try exercising more frequently. Add some cardio exercises to your fitness workouts so you can burn a large amount of calories. Look for exercises you really enjoy so you look forward to working out. Join a gym if you need help with your fitness program.

When using weight loss supplements, be aware that most of the weight lost supplements sold today are not regulated by the FDA nor are they really very effective. If a weight control supplement product bears the seal of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) this means the product has been tested and approved for quality control.
