Diet and exercise for women over 45?

Question

I know your metabolism changes as you get older and all the stuff about peri-menopause beginning, so what kind of dietary changes should women over 45 make (low-fat, higher protein, low carb, etc.) and what types of exercise should we focus on and how often?

Answer 1

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats and it will tell you how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight. take 300-400calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones.
5-8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
8 glasses of water a day.
4-6 times a week cardio work out for 30-50min plus light weight training.
no junk food, no sodas, no white flour (white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes etc)

Answer 2

I never worry about such things because I take 2 tbls. of heinz apple cider vinegar in a glass of water 2-3 x day or before a meal. Vinegar has 93 vitamins and minerals. For exercise I lift weights and do yoga. Dancing is also fun and works for stamina.Exercise is good at leat 3-4 days a week. I am 50 and have the face and figure of a woman half my age. Vinegar will make hair and nails long and strong. No breakage, dandruff, osteoporosis or tooth loss. Vinegar has cured my depression, anxiety, and adult acne. I also drink at least 6-8 glasses of water to hydrate my skin from the inside.

Answer 3

I"m a 43 year old athletic woman. I eat low glycemic and exercise the same way I did when I was younger. I noticed a metabolic change in that I can keep weight on easier if I'm not careful.

Once I stop, I know its much harder to get back on the horse, so to speak. So, I have to keep on going.
