You are worried because your stop-and-stare body is changing into pear shaped body slowly. In other words, you are getting fatter and fatter.

Using the word "fat" may sound harsh, what about saying "overweight"? No matter which word you use, you can't change the fact that you are obese.

If you are an overweight woman, I am sure you ask yourself the same questions that millions of women in the world do -- why is it that I seem to get fat as I become older ? Is it because I can't get enough exercise ? Or is it because it's "in my genes" ?

What many women don't seem to ask is, "Is it something to do with the lifestyle I adopt as I get older?"

Think of this. Did people suffer from obesity a couple of thousand years ago when processed foods and junk foods were not around ?

Obesity seems to have become an epidemic only after people started stuffing themselves with junk foods. Junk foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner, day in and day out.

No matter how much fat your body has accumulated, it is possible to get rid of it all - or at least most of it - if only your body is given a chance to help itself.

Help your body burn fat by eating more! I mean by eating more meals, preferably 5-6 small meals a day. Of course, you must eat small healthy meals each day.

You probably find it hard to believe that eating more than 3 meals per day could be the solution to speeding up weight loss, right?

You see, by eating several small healthy meals daily, you are boosting your metabolism. By speeding up your metabolism your body will burn calories and fat off at a much more consistent and quicker time frame.

If you skip meals, you will slow down your metabolism. By slowing down your metabolism, you are causing your metabolism to go into survival mode. When this happens, your metabolism will begin to store calories instead of burning them off!

To effectively lose weight and burn fat, you must also incorporate all of the basic principles here: drinking plenty of water, getting 7-9 hours of sleep every night, cardio and weight training exercising, and proper nutrition.
