How Your Metabolism Changes in Your 20s, 30s, and 40s

What you need to do to lose weight in your forties?

Why do you think that during your childhood all those candies, chocolates, pizza burgers, juices didn’t have any impact on your weight and now even after eating best recommended health foods, you still struggle to lose even few pounds. Why does this happen? As you likely know, your metabolism takes a nosedive over the years and ultimately impacts your waistline. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, here are all the ways your natural calorie-burning power transforms as you age—and what you can do to keep it in high gear.

Most women have their highest basal metabolic rate (the number of calories you burn by just being alive), in their late teens or early twenties. Your activity level also plays a big role. After all, the more you run around or play, and hit up the gym, the more calorie-torching muscle you’ll build and the higher your metabolism will be. Plus, until you’re about 25 or so, your body is still building bone, and that process burns up calories.

your basal metabolic rate drops roughly one to two percent per decade. By the late twenties, many women notice that they can’t eat the same things they used to without gaining weight and that the weight doesn’t fall off as easily as it once did. Since this drop starts right about the time people settle into the (largely sedentary) workforce—and start losing muscle—your office job might actually be to blame.

In Your Thirties..

The Fattening Cycle Continues

As you lose muscle, your natural calorie-burning ability slows even more. And as you lose muscle and gain fat, fat can develop into the muscle and cause weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. to add insult to injury, during your thirties, you aren’t producing as much human growth hormone as before (no more growth spurts for you!), which also leads to a dip in your metabolic rate, she says. However, strength training can help you build muscle and produce more human growth hormone, both of which keep your metabolism running as fast as (or faster than) it did when you were 20.

Pregnancy Can Go Either Way

Pregnancy can give your metabolism a bump—but not enough to start eating twice your usual diet. Yes, you need to eat for yourself and the baby, but that baby might only be a couple millimeters large, so you don’t need that many extra calories. During pregnancy, you are likely burn about 200 extra calories a day. Women who are at a healthy weight before pregnancy should only gain about 25 to 35 pounds during those nine months, he says. Unfortunately, according to a 2015 study published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, almost half of women gain too much weight when they’re preregisters—which can contribute to muscle- and metabolism-wrecking insulin resistance.

Breastfeeding is good for moms too

A huge calorie burn comes from breastfeeding. The average woman who’s breastfeeding full-time can expect to burn an extra 500 to 1,000 calories per day. Unfortunately, as soon as you start weaning your little one, your metabolism goes back to per-pregnancy levels.

In Your Forties… Hormonal reservoir

Around 40, as you start approaching menopause, your levels of estrogen, progesterone, and (again) human growth hormone decrease.So unfortunately, your metabolism follows suit. That means you’ll have to focus on reducing your caloric intake during your forties in order to maintain your weight. If you’re working out, that might only amount to eating about 150 less calories per day, he says. But if you don’t exercise and sit most of the day, you’ll probably have to cut more calories to stay in shape.

Building Muscle Becomes a Non-Negotiable

At around age 40, your body’s natural decline in muscle mass, called sarcophagi, sets in. To combat the loss of lean mass and keep your metabolism revved, you really have to turn to strength training. People who lift weights put on less belly fat as they age than cardio bunnies. While any exercise will help you burn calories while you’re at the gym, strength training gives your metabolism the biggest boost after your workout ends. One need to pump in more vitamins and minerals, eating enough protein (about 100 to 120 grams a day) will boost your efforts to get stronger. A woman who was sedentary in her twenties and thirties can actually have a higher metabolic rate in her forties if she exercises and changes her diet.
