We all have a weight loss journey which is unique in ways. If you are suddenly having a hard time even shedding a few pounds and your weight loss mission seems to stop. Nothing is wrong, just your body has grown a little older and it has changed its ways.
There are multiple points on where your body starts shifting from hormone production and their processing, body mass composition and metabolic changes in tissues.
One of the reasons that shredding weight in your 40s is not easy anymore is because the body starts losing muscle mass. And as that occurs, tissues now have different composition. Higher muscle mass causes faster energy burn and with that gone less speedy metabolism slows down that process too.
But, we have good news for you: all of this does not mean that weight loss is not achievable in your 40s and you will live an unfit life with fats-packed love handles. What you will need to do is just shift tactics and incorporate food habits which faster this process.
To kickstart your weight loss, the focus should be on foods that speed up your metabolism. Fruits are low in calories, yet rich in minerals and vitamins. Thus,s they can be eaten without thinking much about calorie count. This will be the path to a fit, slim life in no time.
Berries: Berries are nature's gift which are usually small in size but whose benefits are innumerable. A variety of them is available which has loads of nutrients. Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries all are irreplaceable. Experts recommend including berries in your daily meals to speed up weight loss and ensure intake of essential elements.
Nuts and seeds: Nuts are highly filled with healthy fats, plant protein and fibre which are super helpful in cutting on calories that come with unhealthy fats. They help control blood pressure, and regulate heart rate. If you are looking for some crispy foods which are healthy and best, nuts and seeds are good to go.
Sauerkraut: Probiotics, dietary fibre, vitamin C and vitamin K all packed in a single food, sounds like the best food to eat for weight loss. Sauerkraut can prove to be your best weapon against fat. Fibre present in it makes your stomach feel full for longer times. Research suggests that eating probiotics enhance gut microbes which prevents weight gain.
Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are packed with fibres, and give us omega-3 fatty acids which are found in some rare foods. These nutrient rich seeds can be mixed into morning smoothies. One serving of flaxseeds gives a good amount of fibre, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
