How to lose weight After 40
When it comes to losing weight, there’s only one way to go: directly. That’s the advice from plenty of doctors and nutritionists who have spent years educating the public about how eating too much or too little can lead to weight gain and loss.
In other words, it’s a well-known fact that losing weight is no walk in the park. If you’re looking to make the most of your day-to-day life, it might be worth taking a step back and considering different ways to approach weight loss. Read on for 6 useful tips to help you get back on track:
Plan your day the night before
The night before you plan to get into your gear and follow up your meals with a diet is when you’re the most likely to burn the most calories and gain the most weight.
It’s also what everyone else is doing: they’re having dinner with friends, drinking coffee and eating dessert.
It’s not just you, though—the people around you are also Increasingly More Active people who are also walking and jogging regularly.
Knowing when to set aside some time and energy for this will help you feel more satisfied and able to focus better.
Don’t do everything at once
Eating three meals a day—or even two—can result in a large deficit of calories.
By planning your day the night before, you can ensure you’re eating a healthy, portion-size diet that ensures you’re not eating too few calories and more energy.
This will also help to prevent you from having an energy-draining day and help you feel full and energized the next day.
Take regular walks
Physical activity is a great way to lose weight. It’s also proven to be a healthy way to monitor your weight.
Regular walks will help you stay active and prevent you from becoming too preoccupied with food and excess.
Even a short walk can help you feel full and energized the next day.

Change up your diet often
A diet that consists only of the same foods you’re used to will lead to the same outcome—which is weight gain.
A diet that changes up your typical diet every few months or years can help you avoid this fate.
A diet that’s based on fresh air, fresh produce, and whole grain bread can help you feel full and energetic and avoid becoming too preoccupied with food and excess.
Stay active (and lose weight) long-term
It’s easy to get complacent when on theDOMains. Many people become too confident and gain the confidence to be too passive in their movements—which can lead to excess weight gain.
Active people are more likely to be active because they’re more likely to be active in the things that make them happy.
Active lifestyles include daily swimming, stretching, and walking and also include some kind of aerobic exercise.
Bottom line

Eating well, in the morning, helps you feel full and helps to prevent you from eating too many calories.
Eating too little might lead to a big caloric surplus, which can lead to weight gain.
Eating big meals with your favorite snacks throughout the day can also lead to a big caloric surplus, which can also lead to hunger and a desire to eat.
The key is to make healthy choices throughout the day, particularly with your diet.
Eating too many calories in one day can lead to a large caloric surplus while eating too little can lead to a small caloric deficit.
It’s important to make healthy choices throughout the day and to get enough sleep, which will help you feel more alert the next day.
If you’re able to bit by bit reduce the number of calories you consume each day, you’ll be just as likely to gain weight as if you were eating for hours on end.
It’s important to make healthy choices throughout the day and to get enough sleep, which will help you feel more alert the next day.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though?

NHS Doctors Dismissed Cancer Symptoms as ‘Women’s Problems’: A Stark Wake-Up Call
The National Health Service (NHS), long considered the cornerstone of the United Kingdom’s healthcare system, is facing growing scrutiny after reports emerged that doctors repeatedly dismissed cancer symptoms in women as mere “women’s problems.” For many, this revelation is more than just an administrative failing; it highlights a persistent gender bias in medicine that continues to put lives at risk. A Pattern of Neglect For decades, women have reported experiencing a troubling lack of attention when presenting symptoms of serious illnesses such as ovarian, breast, or pancreatic cancer. Common complaints—abdominal pain, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and persistent bloating—were often attributed to menstrual cycles, stress, or anxiety. Patients have recounted stories of being told that “it’s just a woman’s thing” or “hormones are probably causing it,” even when their symptoms were severe and persistent. Medical experts now warn that such dismissals are not only negligent but dangerous. Early detection of cancer is crucial for successful treatment. A delay of even a few months can significantly reduce survival rates. When symptoms are minimized or misattributed to gender-specific issues, women are disproportionately at risk of late-stage diagnoses and more aggressive treatments. The Human Cost The impact of these dismissals is deeply personal and devastating. Women often spend months, and sometimes years, trying to convince healthcare providers that their concerns are legitimate. Many have shared stories of repeatedly visiting general practitioners, undergoing inconclusive tests, and returning home without answers. For some, the delay in diagnosis meant the cancer had already advanced to a stage where treatment options were limited and outcomes bleak. Consider the case of Claire Johnson (name changed for privacy), a 42-year-old mother of two, who repeatedly sought help for persistent stomach pain and fatigue. She was told by her GP that her symptoms were “stress-related” and “just part of being a woman.” Only after a severe hospitalization did imaging reveal advanced ovarian cancer. Today, Claire is undergoing intensive treatment, but the delay significantly reduced her chances of full recovery. Gender Bias in Healthcare Medical studies suggest that women’s symptoms are more likely to be dismissed or misdiagnosed than men’s, particularly for diseases that do not present in textbook fashion. Historically, clinical research has often focused on male subjects, leaving gaps in understanding of how illnesses manifest differently in women. This systemic oversight contributes to misdiagnosis, underestimation of risk, and inadequate treatment planning. Dr. Samantha Green, a prominent oncologist, explains, “There’s a long-standing bias where women’s health concerns, particularly pain or vague symptoms, are often minimized. The assumption is that these are ‘women’s problems,’ not serious medical conditions. This mindset is deadly when it comes to cancer.” The NHS Response Following public outcry, NHS officials have acknowledged the problem and emphasized efforts to improve early detection protocols. Initiatives include increasing awareness among general practitioners, revising diagnostic guidelines to consider gender-specific symptom variations, and expanding access to rapid referral pathways for suspected cancer cases. However, advocacy groups argue that awareness campaigns alone are insufficient. They are calling for mandatory training on gender bias in healthcare, systematic audits of diagnostic delays, and stronger accountability mechanisms to ensure that patient complaints are treated seriously. Moving Toward Change The stories emerging from these cases are not just about healthcare failures—they are about societal attitudes toward women’s health. By dismissing symptoms as trivial or gender-related, the medical system perpetuates a culture where women’s suffering is undervalued. Addressing this requires more than protocol adjustments; it demands a fundamental shift in how doctors listen to, assess, and validate patients’ experiences. Some medical practices are already taking steps in the right direction. Clinics are implementing patient-centered diagnostic procedures, ensuring follow-up on persistent complaints, and prioritizing communication training that highlights empathy and attentiveness. These changes, while gradual, signal hope for a system where women’s health concerns are treated with the seriousness they deserve. A Call to Action For women experiencing unexplained symptoms, the message is clear: trust your instincts and advocate for your health. Seek second opinions, ask for thorough investigations, and insist that your concerns are taken seriously. For the NHS and the wider medical community, the mandate is equally clear: dismantle outdated biases, improve diagnostic vigilance, and treat every patient’s concerns as potentially life-saving information. The dismissal of women’s cancer symptoms as mere “women’s problems” is more than a medical oversight—it is a societal failure with life-or-death consequences. By acknowledging the bias, reforming medical practices, and prioritizing early detection, the NHS has the opportunity to save countless lives and restore trust in a system millions rely on every day.
