True, time and hormones cause female bodies to lose muscle and gain fat. To combat my middle-age bulge I started following an clean eating diet a few months ago and with only 75% adherence to clean eating principles and by adding only 2 strenuous weekly weight routines to my already sufficient aerobic schedule, I have lost several pounds and considerable fat % without dieting or feeling hungry. I try to eat 3 small meals and 3 snacks daily. Alcohol and sugar consumption have been cut in half.
Is eating clean always easy and fun? No! It takes discipline to cook those steel cut oats instead of eating a muffin, and to pack healthy snacks in a cooler instead of getting a pretzel at the mall. Is it worth it? Definitely, specially when I realize the fat is dropping off and the muscle is increasing.
I follow (albeit imperfectly) the eating plan in Tosca Reno’s book “The Eat Clean Diet Recharged” and the results are evident.

ParticipantAnother poster wrote: “It’s easy to look at a heavy person and claim that they are “lazy” and lack self-control, but that kind of thinking is too simplistic. It doesn’t account for the fact that they have to FORCE their bodies to move, whereas the “hyperactive” ones (fast metabolizers) have bodies that move themselves! Think of how different hormones and medicines can make people quickly gain or lose weight, regardless of what they eat or how much exercise they get. There is far more involved in our “obesity epidemic” than some might like to believe.”
Analyze for yourself what fat people are:
a. feeding their children in public places – especially when you see the mom give the toddler in the stroller a 2 adult serving bag of Cheetos and a 16 oz. soda!
b. placing in their shopping carts
c. ordering in restaurantsThe reason for their obesity is apparent.

ParticipantWe took overweight (he 70 lb, she 40 lb.) friends to our Rosarito Beach house for a couple of days. I told her in advance that we generally go out for early dinner to Puerto Nuevo and to El Nido for another dinner, and cook a late hearty breakfast at the house. Because the meals are so heavy and we don’t exercise while there, we skip lunch and snack on vegetables and fruit and low calorie items. She said she’d bring some snacks – she brought a 12 pack of coke, which he consumed in its entirety, 2 bags of various chips, a box of cookies, and a bag of mini candy bars. To our amazement and revulsion, they munched their way through most of that crap. After we crossed back into the U.S. and stopped at In ‘n Out for lunch, hubby and I each had a cheeseburger, split an order of fries, and drank plain ice tea. They each had a double-double with fries and a large milkshake.
There is a reason why people are fat and it is not genetics. You may be more naturally fleshy, but if you keep stuffing crap in your body and not exercising, you will become obese.
