Is losing and gaining weight easy for you?

Don't get naughty ideas Apsara. Woh jaado vadoo kuch nahi hai.Mein ek Sadhu ki thara kaana kaatha hai. (Especially when I want to reduce)

Well I can say that my metabolism responds to my command.The more I eat the more fat I become and the less I become thin.I know my limits and never gorge on food.If I feast one day I may fast for two days.The balancing act is the trick.And I never miss my morning walk for 30 minutes. Dekiye, yeh to bahut aasaan hai na?

sadhu aur apsara ko toh bhoot purana rishta hai.....so now you have to tell me what exactly you do.Sadhuji kripa kare.....warna yeh apsara apsara nahi rahegi....because apsarye moti nahi hoti.....

I am good Poohgal.Thanks for asking.How are you? You are right in saying that proper eating habit takes care of the weight problem.

I'm great

You must be one of those few lucky women Sandhya.

Yes, does seem like it...only if I was lucky enough to get determination as a virtue too...lol

It is really tough to indulge in cheese cakes and stay in shape Mirita.

http://www.dirjournal.com/health-journal/the-truth-about-middle-age-metabolism/ The above link is useful in beating the middle age metabolism myth.

It's not a myth. I've slowed way down. Most people my age have. We're not going out dancing on Saturday nights any more, we're tired. I'm going through menopause where I'm not sleeping, etc. I don't care what dir journal says. Are they going through menopause?

Great as your name suggest you seem to know about all including how to shed that extra pounds..

The secret is that I am lucky to have endowed with a perfect metabolic system. The less I eat I go down and the more I eat I put up weight. So I draw the line where it needs to be. I know a lot of people dieting very strictly and slogging in tread mills to find some extra grams added as a result.

My best wishes.

Actually dieting too strictly is very dangerous Blaa because we put on weight the moment the regimen stops.It also harms the system. I have found thta staying away from sweets keeps my weight under control .THough people normally never feel that I am overweight I feel that I am tending to add a few pounds these days [wha t w ith middle age!but I am slo confidne thtta I will come down.

Yes Our metabolic rate slows down as we age.

There are many ladies who dutifully go to gym trying exercises but managed to be fat. So you are saving money.Good for you

There are several differences between the fat storage and fat metabolism of men and women. First of all, women's body fact percentages tend to be greater than those of men. Women usually store more of their fat in the hips and thighs. Men tend to store more of their fat in the abdominal region. According to scientists, the fat in the abdominal zone is easier to metabolize than the fat in the gluteal-femoral area. Additionally, a greater amount of alpha receptors, which promote the storage of fat, are generally found in the hips and thighs of women. These two factors mean that men usually have faster fat metabolisms than women do, and are thus more successful at losing weight. One more reason to be happy about being a man Hately.

Why wait till it reaches to the fifth pound?

Well, remember that time of year when there's plenty of food? Like last year, September is a regional festival here. October is my Mom's birthday and my relatives barangay festival. November would have All Saint's day and All Soul's day. Then there's the nonstop celebration in December of Christmas, January's New Year's and my birthday, February's 4 friend's birthday celebrations plus Valentine's Day. Then March's friends' graduation parties(including mine).

Great Salonga.Where there is a will there sure is a way.Way to go.

Though eating less and exercising a lot is the solution it doesn't seem to work on everyone on equal level.Blessed are the ones who have that perfect metabolism. It works very fine for me.I eat more I gain more pounds and the lesser I eat the thinner I become.The results are very fast.

Though it is s simple formula of burning out as much calories of input most of us find it hard.The body is so firm and doesn't give up so easily those fat deposits which are stored for emergency periods and drought situations. Can't blame the body too.It is a little old fashioned engineered for the nomads and cave men who are in search for food always. Poor thing it doesn't understand that nowadays we have plenty of food to gorge whenever we need.
