If you have ever try to have a weight loss program with a male you will have spotted that men can shed the pounds a lot easier than girls. As a matter of fact, there are women who feel they are still slim when they are 35. Yet they may feel that they are fatter even if their weights do not change when they are 40. In fact, it is likely to be true. They may be fatter than they used to be.
You should not just rely on the scale when you are considering the above problem. Your weight may not explain what has happened in your body. You can think about the following case. A woman with two children who weighed 63 kilos at the age of 30. At that point, only 25% of her body consisted of fat. (Pros consider 23% to 33% body fat healthy for ladies between 40 to 60).
However, the situation may change when she is 49 years old. The total body weight may still be the same. However, the percentage of fat may change to 35%. To this end, she has gained some fat and at the same time lost some muscles during these 19 years.
As a matter of fact, the density of muscles is higher than fat. So, the same weight of fat will take more spaces than muscles. Even if this lady weights the same, she has become fatter!
Besides, it is also very true that muscles will burn calories. When she loses the muscles, the metabolism will become slower. It is very likely that she will become fatter if she does not try to take care of the calorie intake and the foods she consumes.
So, the point here is to build some muscles again in order to lose pounds. There are a few things that she can do. First of all, she will need to re-consider her diet. The first thing she need to consider is the amount of calorie she needs and the amount she takes.
Of course she will also need to think about the kind of foods she should eat. In fact, there is a common problem for ladies who have children. The ladies will try to finish all the foods if the children cannot finish all of them. These will lead to weight gain easily.
The second part is to do exercises. It will be a good option to work with a personal trainer to this end. The coach will help to create a exercising plan so that she will be able to lose the fat and build some muscles again!
