We hear it all of the time, people say, “I just can’t eat the way I used to” or “every time I go on a diet I lose a little bit of weight and then put it right back on plus some.” So, you may be asking; why is it so much more difficult to lose weight as you get older and what are some things that you can do to take back control over your weight and quality of life?
According to the American Geriatrics Society, there are specific biological changes that occur in the body that can lead to weight gain as a person ages. Among these changes are a decrease in lean muscle mass and increase in body fat which leads to a slow down in the metabolism, hormonal changes that occur during menopause and an increase in cortisol levels during times of stress that lead to an increase in appetite. With all of these obstacles it may seem like a lost cause but there is hope!

Like many of our readers, Sue had struggled with her weight for years until she began working with Dan Vitchoff, at Pittsburgh’s most trusted and effective hypnosis center. Sue explains, “I wanted to lose weight and I had gone through this a few years ago with another hypnotherapist at a hotel group session and it didn’t take so I thought to myself, ‘let’s try it again with someone new, someone different,’ and I have to say, this has been a completely different experience. This time I have already lost 30 pounds but most importantly; the inches; I’ve lost over 22 inches and that’s so amazing to me. Everybody says, ‘you look so good, you look wonderful,’ and I say, thank you, ‘I feel really good’; this is the least that I have weighted in 30 years!”
