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.

I'm an avid viewer of Dr. Oz's show as he seems to be very balanced and, at the same time, really up-to-date regarding the current trends in dieting and what works and what does not. So when he acknowledged that hormones can definitely slow down my weight loss efforts, I sat up and took notice. Maybe he would also have some helpful suggestions on the solution to this dilemma.

Find a way to stay motivated. You should make a list of the reasons why you want to get in shape. Reward yourself when you get good results, for instance by buying new clothes. Avoid rewarding yourself with food. Following your weight loss program will be easier if you find new foods you really love and have fun with your fitness program. If possible, find some friends who want to lose weight too so you can exercise together.

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.

To combat the decrease of testosterone, Dr. Oz recommends a very high protein source - Roman Beans. He suggests building up the amount of these beans that you eat until you reach 2-3 cups a week. If you are concerned about that creating a problem with gas - a common occurrence when eating beans - simply increase the amount of beans you eat in small increments until you've reached your goal of 2-3 cups a week.

* Green Tea Extract - not only is green tea loaded with antioxidants, it also helps with weight loss. Green tea extract contains caffeine, theanine and catechins and these have shown to help with weight loss. Decaffeinated green tea does not seem as effective as regular green tea.

* Meal Replacements - these are the weight loss supplements with the best science behind them. These supplements include replacement shakes and bars. They must be used as directed and a fairly strict diet must still be followed.

These tips will help you reach a healthy weight in a reasonable time frame. Use what you just read to develop your own weight loss program and you will soon get the body you always wanted.
