Are you a woman over 50 with a goal to lose your flabby belly? It is no fun dealing with belly fat and unfortunately this becomes a growing problem for women as they age and approach menopause. Hormones begin to change the way a woman's body distributes fat making it less likely to get deposited in the legs and butt and more likely to get stored in the belly. Even though your body is shifting you can still get this weight off with the right steps. If you would like to learn more then I encourage you to take a couple of minutes and read on.
Lose Your Flabby Belly
1. Be smarter with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates offer a wonderful source of energy for your body because they are quick to break down to their basic element - sugar. However when you eat these later in the day when your body does not need as much energy they are more likely to go into storage and end up in fat cells on your belly. To be smarter with carbohydrates finish eating them in the first half of your day and limit or remove them from dinner and snacks in the evening.
2. Add a protein choice to every meal. Protein gives your body what it needs to maintain muscle (very important for your fat burning metabolism) and it also stimulates the production of a hormone called glucagon which can counter some of the fat-making properties of carbs.
3. Add 2 to 3 sessions of weight training to your week. Women lose muscle with age unless they take specific measures to build it up. Why is this important to belly flab? Well every pound of muscle on your body burns about 50 calories a day so the more muscle you have the easier your body will find it to burn off belly fat.
If you are a woman over 50 who needs to lose your flabby belly then get started with these great tips.
