Why has my wife been putting on so much weight?!


Question: Why has my wife been putting on so much weight?
She used to be thin with a great body, but she stayed skinny by eating whatever she wanted. She loves fast food, sweets, and is practically addicted to soda. Not only does she love to eat, but she also never exercises. Her eating habits appeared to have no side effects until recently. Over the past four months or so she has really been packing on the pounds for some reason, going from 115 pounds to 140 pounds with no signs of stopping. My wife has been freaking out and doesn't understand why she can't eat like she has since high school (she will be turning 31 soon) and stay thin. She hates not being able to fit in her old clothes and can't stand having a gut because her stomach had been flat her entire life. I am personally just concerned about her health and want to know what the issue is.

Well this tends to happen, as you age your metabolism slows down. All her unhealthy eating habits are catching up with her.

The best thing you can do is not criticize her about her weight, what she is eating or exercise. This will make her mad. You need to support her, maybe make a large salad and keep it in the fridge. Or start cooking healthy meals together. Get your body moving, go for walks together, do some couples yoga haha
and sex is a great workout! :)



Her metabolism is slowing down and it's only going to get slower as time goes on. This means she can't eat as much if she expects to be thin. If she doesn't change her lifestyle, then I hope you like big women because that's what she will be and soon. Unless she is really willing to change, she'll never have a flat tummy again and that gut is only going to get bigger. I think you should really encourage her to exercise and then think of a way to ease her off all of that junk food



Her once fast metabolism has finally begun to slow down which is common for someone in their thirties. If she doesn't start changing her eating and exercising habits, then she will get very big and it wouldn't surprise me if she hit 200 pounds. To get her flat stomach back she is going to have to work really hard for it, and she should start asap because it's gonna get harder with every extra pound she gains.



with what she's eating and not exercising her health may be going down. something might be bothering her or stressing her out that she's eating so much lately. you should help her out and support her by telling her she needs to start eating healthier and exercising more regularly, and you can do it all with her.



First of all, good news for you! You can easily slim down and much faster than any other age group as you have the highest metabolism rate. You only need to note three things; Diet, Exercise and Motivation.

On Diet, you need the most nutrient during this period. What you eat will determine your health and physics for the rest of your adulthood. That means, if you don’t slim down during this period, you are likely to get fat always in your adulthood. Also you will likely to be sick easily for the rest of your life. You need to have a balance diet with the correct food like protein, fats, vitamins, etc. (Ladies, if you eat too little, you are likely to have small breast and butt for life). You can’t to be choosy on food. Refer to the blog at the end if you don’t know what you need to eat.

Exercise is at this period, you are able to lose weight fast and develop your muscle too. Exercise every other day for 30 ~ 45 minutes, 3 times a week. Left one day for rest. Cardio exercise like jogging swimming, dancing, aerobics, etc are good to reduce fat fast. Hula loops are good for tummy; others exercise that targets at different part of the body can be refer to the blog at the end of the page.

Lastly, is your will to slim down. You can all set goals to lose weight. But if you did not have the will or you left the goals unchecked. You are unlikely to succeed although you are in the high metabolism group. Also at the blog, you can find ways how to encourage yourself to achieve your goal setting.

I used to be 185 lbs, I manage to lose weight to 125 lbs in a short time and maintain a healthy 133 lbs for many years.

Cheers!
