A British doctor advises women who are struggling to lose weight despite adhering to a diet not to mimic men's eating habits. Dr. Sara Gottfried, as reported by the British newspaper "Daily Mail," states that many diets women follow fail because they are designed for men.
She observes that women lose control over their weight in their thirties due to stress, motherhood demands, and aging. Dr. Gottfried has encountered many women who have put in significant effort to lose excess fat through exercise and proper nutrition.
She notes that problems of this nature begin in midlife, where shedding body fat becomes more challenging than before, with women expressing frustration that the same steps taken by men yield better results.
Dr. Gottfried emphasizes that the solution does not lie in counting calories or logging walking miles, but in understanding female hormones. She stresses that women should follow a diet focused on hormones, where foods support metabolism-boosting hormones, and advise avoiding foods and lifestyle habits that slow down metabolism and contribute to early body hormone changes.
Among the foods recommended by the British doctor are healthy fats, especially Omega-3 fats found in oily fish, nuts, and adding avocado oil to salads, which help promote a feeling of fullness. She also advises avoiding sugar and refined carbohydrates.
