Long-Term Weight Loss Extremely Hard For Post-Menopausal Women

Poor, fat babies.

Have to do something hard.

Postmenopausal women naturally consume much less energy than when they were younger, the strategies and behaviors they followed earlier in life are simply not sustainable or effective in the long-term any more, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Department of Health and Physical Activity, reported in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

The authors added that several factors work against postmenopausal women when they try to lose weight over the long term. Several studies have looked at postmenopausal body weight control and diets.

A team of researchers from the University of Illinois said that postmenopausal dieting women should eat plenty of protein so that they do not lose too much muscle. Another study warned that high-protein diets may encourage bone density loss in postmenopausal women.

Even for younger females and men of all ages, dropping the pounds initially during a diet is usually achievable, but keeping the weight off over the long term is challenging.

So what?

Woman up.
