'A holistic guide to healthy living for the over-40s' Telegraph, Stella magazine
In The Midlife Method, food and lifestyle writer Sam Rice explores why it is so much harder to lose weight as we get older and what we can do about it. She answers the questions that she herself asked when, in her forties, the weight suddenly started accumulating around the middle:
* Why is this happening to me?
* What am I eating that isn't helping?
* What foods should I be eating more of?
* How do calories fit into the equation?
* How much and what kinds of exercise are most beneficial?
* What other lifestyle changes do I need to make?
Rather than focusing exclusively on restricted eating, as so many diets do, Sam guides us through her 'method' for midlife weight loss based on extensive research into the specific physiological changes that occur in our middle years. Including more than 80 delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch and family-friendly dinners, along with an easy 4-week meal plan, The Midlife Method shows how combining Light Days and Regular Days can bring about healthy and sustainable weight loss.
If you feel stuck in a midlife weight rut then this is the book for you.
