Dropping a couple of dress sizes in twelve weeks is not an unobtainable dream when you’re over 40.
Because your body and hormones change with age even before the menopause, you need an approach that works with your changing body and hormones rather than against them. Fit Over 40 is a simple and proven formula for sustainable long-term results which
• Kickstarts the fat-burning process so you can drop 1–2 stone every twelve weeks – without going to the gym or giving up your favourite foods
• Gets you back into your favourite clothes so you will feel confident wearing anything you like
• Supercharges your energy levels so you’re on top of your game at work and at home
• Ends negative self-talk, low self-esteem and self-sabotage, no matter how hectic and stressful life gets
• Puts an end to old habits, keeps the weight off and maintains your new body, confidence and lifestyle long-term
