An evidence-based, healthy weight loss plan for the over 40s which provides clear dietary advice, recipes and meal plans, all grounded in best nutritional practice.
In The Midlife Method, food and lifestyle writer Sam Rice explores why it is so much harder to lose weight as we get older and what we can do about it.
Rather than focusing exclusively on restricted eating, as so many diets do, Sam guides us through her 'method' for midlife weight loss based on extensive research into the specific physiological changes that occur in our middle years. She answers the questions that she herself asked when, in her forties, the weight suddenly started accumulating around the middle:
* Why is this happening to me?
* What am I eating that isn't helping?
* What foods should I be eating more of?
* How do calories fit into the equation?
* How much and what kinds of exercise are most beneficial?
* What other lifestyle changes do I need to make?
Including more than 80 delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch and family-friendly dinners, along with an easy 4-week meal plan, The Midlife Method shows how combining Light Days (active calorie restriction via calorie-controlled recipes) and Regular Days (focused on eating well-balanced, nutrient-dense food) can bring about healthy and sustainable weight loss.
But we don't just want to lose weight as we get older, we want to feel great too, that is where The Midlife Method Healthy Habits come in. Learn how to exercise optimally, get a better night's sleep, manage stress and enjoy alcohol as part of a healthier lifestyle. If you feel stuck in a midlife weight rut then this is the book for you.
A revolutionary new plan,
The Midlife Method . . . promises to help you drop pounds - and, more importantly, feel great - in a matter of weeks . . . [The book] can help you make a few simple changes. Life really can begin at 40, after all!
