Middle Age isn’t too late to Lose Weight for Women: New Medical Research

Those women who have entered to their middle age and thinks that it may not be possible to lose some weight in this age. Well, hold that thought for a while!!

“Middle Age women still can lose weight, In fact, middle-age women can still lose a significant amount of weight, if they make the right changes and stick with them”. According to New Medical Research presented at the annual meeting of the Obesity Society Proves.

Women who are committed to make changes can lose 20 pounds, says Karen Foster-Schubert of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

Anne McTiernan, the center’s lead researcher says women should:

• Write down what they eat.
• Try to avoid foods that are produce fats
• Prepare food at home when possible rather than eat out.
• And make weight loss a priority. Also,
• Make a habit of walking  in morning and in evening

The researchers recruited 439 overweight or obese postmenopausal women, average age 57, and average weight 185, all of them sedentary. They were assigned to one of four groups: diet only, exercise only, diet and exercise, or no lifestyle changes.

After a year, the diet-and-exercise group had lost about 21 pounds; the diet-only group 18 pounds; and the exercise-only group almost 5 pounds. The control group did not lose a significant amount.
