How To Get Over Your Pre-Menopausal Weight Loss Challenges
Q. Pre-menopausal,finding it very difficult to loose weight/fat. I am doing 45min of cardio and lifting with dumbbells.
From Linda
A. When I look at this statement it is too general. So here are some questions that I would ask you:
How much cardio are you doing per week?
What kind of cardio? Steady State or intervals
What kind of workouts are you doing? (full body or split body parts)
How long are you weight training sessions?
How much rest are you taking in between?
What is your intensity level when weight training?
How many reps and sets are you doing?
How many calories are you eating a day?
What is the break down of that? Protein, fat, carbs
As you can see from this list of questions and I still have more I would ask is that I don't have the specifics therefore I can't make any suggestions.
I would start writing everything down!
Also, many women want to say it's because they are pre-menopausal but if you really look at what you are doing and then tweak your program you will be able to get results.
It's frustrating I know, to workout and not see results and the important thing is to have all the specifics, then put a program into place and measure and test your results.
And of course the most important thing is telling yourself that you can change your body.
I don't buy into being a certain age and not being able to shed fat, it's really a decision that you make by declaring I will do what it takes.
Believe in yourself~!
Q. What do I need to eat?
From Jocelyn
A. I think most women tend to make this more complicated then it should be. Let me give you the 7 easiest tips for fat loss:
1. Eat lean proteins (chicken, fish, ect)
2. Eat throughout the day (this helps with cravings, and blood sugar)
3. Eat your starchy carbs either before and/or after workouts
4. Eat enough to support your muscle and to burn fat
5. Include your Essential Fatty Acids
6. Eat your fibrous carbs
7. Eat foods in their whole natural state
Of course I go into detail with this in my 6 Week Fat Burning System, but stick to these easy 7 tips and this is a great start!
If you have a question feel free to post it right here on my blog!
