Dieting at 28 key to successful slimming
January 6th, 2011 - 5:02 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Jan 6 (IANS) The key to successful slimming is to begin dieting at the age of 28.Women in the late 20s shed weight faster because they have more time and willpower than those of other ages, a survey said. Twenty-somethings are also more concerned about their weight and so remain focused on their weight loss goals.
Conversely, those in their 30s are often too busy to watch their weight while many in their 40s and 50s have simply ‘lost interest’ in getting the perfect body, the Daily Mail reported.
The study of 3,000 women found they went on two diets or health kicks last year, spending an average of 131.57 pounds on gym or slimming club membership and exercise equipment.
Despite this, almost three quarters admitted at least one of the diets failed.
Sue Beck, of Lambrini Light, which carried out the research, said: “With women getting married later than ever, many 28-year-old females will be single, on the dating scene and leading an active social life, which may explain why they are so successful at healthy eating and maintaining a good figure.”
“Many will also be at the peak of their career, leading fast-paced lives which will help shift any excess weight alongside a diet,” she added.
The study found that 64 percent reckon there is a stage in their life where they are the best at losing weight. Four out of 10 put this down to having strong willpower at that age.
