Weight Loss Tips for Women
Continued from Weight Loss for Men.
To increase metabolism and give women a more level playing field, try these weight loss tips for women:
Eat regular meals Eat three to six small meals per day, starting with breakfast. Research shows that people who eat breakfast consume fewer calories the rest of the day.
Check calorie intake A woman may unknowingly eat the same portions as a man. Because a man has more muscle, he needs more calories than a woman, even if they are the same size and do the same workout. Accept the fact that a woman needs fewer calories than a man does.
Eat enough protein Eating plenty of protein builds muscle and maintains the muscle a woman has, especially as she ages. Most women need 45 to 65 grams of protein per day (or 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight).
Lift weights Building muscle helps a woman burn more calories even when she is at rest.
Get plenty of sleep Research shows that getting less than eight hours of shut-eye a night may be linked with higher body fat and weight gain.
Keep in mind that the above weight loss tips for women can be and should be modified to fit your own needs. Use them as a general guideline.
