There is no doubt that women tend to put on weight at this stage of their lives. It is due to many factors.
A change in metabolism Some women say ‘I hardly eat a thing’ or ‘I have not changed my intake.’ I believe every word of it, but if your weight is increasing, your intake is too much for your metabolism at this stage. Some women need to cut their intake to less than half to maintain their previous weight.
Less exercise Less exercise and a more sedentary existence sometimes creep up particularly for women who are not working outside the home. Children have left home, there is less housework and shopping to do, and you may also have given up your weekly game of tennis.
More leisure More leisure and increased alcohol consumption are likely, particularly when there is less call on your purse; you may be out playing bridge and eating afternoon teas, having a drink before dinner, etc – it all adds up. Whatever the cause, straighten yourself up.
