Losing weight is never easy. And with age, getting rid of excess weight becomes even more difficult. According to Dr. Bubnovsky, weight loss after 40 should be measured, not aimed for quick results. And the following method should be taken as the basis.
Probably, every woman can tell a dozen stories about how she somehow tried to lose weight. It is possible that some of the methods that have been tried have given excellent results. But it is not a fact that they will work so well after 40, when the metabolism starts to slow down.
Today, intermittent fasting is considered one of the most popular methods for weight loss. It is praised by women of all ages: mainly because such a system allows you to include any food in your diet. The main thing is to stop in time and wait for the planned 16 or 20 hours of hunger.
However, trying to lose weight based on dietary restrictions alone is not the best idea for weight loss after 40. This is often said by Dr. Sergei Bubnovsky, a recognized expert on longevity.
According to the expert, with age, the question of not reducing body weight, but strengthening muscles becomes particularly important. When there is more fat mass than muscle mass, the figure will not please with its proportionality: unlike the situation where there is more muscle, but there are also a few extra pounds. In addition, this imbalance affects the state of the cardiovascular system and general well-being.

“In my practice, I very often observe when, during fasting, the body begins to lose a large amount of muscle tissue. Due to this, the ligaments dry out. I therefore recommend fighting less for the fight against excess weight than for the predominance of muscle tissue over adipose tissue,” writing Boubnovsky on his blog.
