Crash Diet for Women
Crash diets are used by lots of people to lose weight quickly for weddings, holidays, parties and just for the sake of it. Crash diets aren’t healthy, don’t lead to long term weight loss (the weight comes back – often with interest) and can be dangerous.
It Simply Does not Work In 40s
But for women over 40, the crash diet has another added disadvantage: it doesn’t work. As an example, I saw a client who was 51, and she had noticed that the pounds had started creeping on over the last few years, and she didn’t know what to do about it.
She in her 20s, 30s and early 40s had been able to go on any diet she wanted and lose weight, quickly. She’d eventually gain the weight back, but it still worked when she needed it.
But around her mid 40s she noticed that the crash diets stopped working.
No matter which one she tried, she couldn’t lose weight quickly.
What to Do When Crash Does Not Work?
The best crash diet for a woman over 40 is therefore one that has no crash involved.
Women in mid-life can lose weight much more effectively if they focus on making small changes in their lifestyle that add up over time.
Losing weight at 1-2 pounds per week is ideal and can still mean big weight loss over time. And the best part of a gradual approach is that you are less likely to gain it back.
Who Wants to Waste Time Dieting all the Time?
If you’re a woman in mid-life don’t waste your time on searching for the one crash diet that will work.
They just don’t.
