How to Break a Weight Loss Plateau After 40
-
Prioritize Strength Training: Building lean muscle is the most effective way to permanently increase your resting metabolic rate.
-
Optimize Hormone-Supporting Fats: Incorporate clean fats like avocados, olive oil, and wild-caught salmon to support healthy hormone production.
-
Manage Lifestyle Stress: High levels of chronic stress produce cortisol, a hormone that encourages stubborn fat storage right around the midsection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a slowing metabolism after 40 permanent?
Not at all. Most age-related metabolic slowing is simply caused by a loss of muscle mass due to less activity. Strength training and increasing your protein intake can help reverse this trend.
