Overweight Women
Hi Everyone,
Recent studies show the importance of weight loss for women. Overweight women at 40 that stayed overweight as they aged were found to live 2 years less than those of normal weight. Obese women at 40 died 4 to 6 years earlier compared to normal weight women.
Healthy women weight loss plans include low fat foods. In fact, low fat foods were found better for health than lowering carbohydrates to lose weight.
Another study showed overweight women are at risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The risk of stroke was increased for women ages 35 to 54, especially when a majority of their fat was carried over their stomach.
At 280 pounds in 2004, I was at risk for many chronic illnesses. One chronic illness that I experienced that made me miserable was GERD.
Losing over 140 pounds helped me live longer and freed my symptoms of GERD and Gastritis. Maintaining this weight loss since 2005 has improved the quality of my life tremendously! If I could learn to lose weight permanently after over 25 years of trying, I am confident you can too!
Take care,
Georgene
