My Style
Age and Weight Gain
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight. The tougher it is to lose weight, the harder it is to show off your figure and we end up feeling fat, frumpy and forgotten.
The truth is once we reach the ripe old age of 40, our metabolism begins to slow down and the lifestyle we had with youth on our side, changes into the danger zone. To look fabulous in our clothes, we have to feel fabulous inside and to feel fabulous we have to do some work. Diets don’t work because once we reach our goal; we end up thinking we can go back to our normal eating patterns and comfort zone, like stuffing our faces with chocolate, wine, bread and butter.
The biggest culprit for promoting middle age spread happens to be chocolate and by chocolate I mean that stuff pretending to be chocolate we buy in the supermarket. Real chocolate is dark and contains at least 85% coco. Anything else is disguised chocolate, just sugar and unhealthy calories. Eating half a bar of dark chocolate a day can help lower blood pressure, helping to keep your heart nice and healthy. Dark chocolate is also an antioxidant so can work as an anti-aging miracle as well as keeping your brain alert and healthy. Cocoa appears to possess different properties that can reduce weight gain in the body. Dark chocolate may also have appetite suppressant properties and has a very favorable effect on blood sugar levels and the symptoms of diabetes, so give it a go.
