Dear reader, this is no coincidence and you are not "to blame". The physiology of gradual weight gain is different for women than for men - and that's what makes it so tricky. The body is suddenly working against us, even though we are not doing anything "bad". Here is an honest but understandable explanation of why the scales slowly but surely move upwards for many women from around 35.
1. estrogen - the former best friend becomes a secret fattener
In the 20s and early 30s, the high oestrogen ensures that fat tends to end up on the bottom and thighs ("good" fat deposits for possible pregnancies). From the mid/late 30s, oestrogen levels begin to fluctuate and later slowly decline (perimenopause). What happens?
- The body tries in panic to "produce" oestrogen from fat cells → it prefers to store rather than release.
- Belly fat increases (the dangerous visceral fat) because more oestrogen receptors are located there. → Result: Suddenly the belly "grows", even though the diet has remained the same.
2. progesterone drops earlier than oestrogen → water retention & cravings
From around 35-40, progesterone is the first hormone to decline significantly. This leads to:
- More water in the legs, stomach and face (many women know this as "feeling bloated" just before their period - only now it becomes chronic).
- Stronger desire for carbohydrates and sweets because the body tries to stabilize the serotonin level (good mood) via sugar. → A few kilos of "flab" + regular chocolate and pasta evenings = a gradual +4-8 kg in 2-3 years.
3. the metabolism switches to "economy mode" - and faster than you think
From the age of 35, women lose around 200-300 g of muscle mass per year - if they do nothing about it. Muscles are the engine that burns calories 24 hours a day. Less muscle = 50-100 kcal less basal metabolic rate per day. Doesn't sound like much? Over a year, that's 5-10 kg that the body has "left over" and stores.
4. thyroid gland becomes sluggish (often unnoticed)
In almost every second woman over 40, the thyroid gland is slightly underactive (subclinical hypothyroidism) without it being immediately noticeable. 5-10 % slower metabolism = another 3-6 kg more per year, even though you eat "normally".
5. cortisol - the stress hormone makes the belly round
Job, children, caring for parents, financial worries... the cortisol level remains slightly elevated. Cortisol tells the body: "Hoard fat on your belly, we need reserves for a rainy day." At the same time, it blocks fat loss on the legs and bottom. The classic result: the apple belly that only men used to have.
6. sleep gets worse → ghrelin up, leptin down
From the menopause onwards, many women sleep worse (hot flushes, brooding). Poor sleep = more ghrelin (hunger hormone) and less leptin (satiety hormone). You simply feel hungry more often - especially in the evening - and automatically eat 200-400 kcal more without realizing it.
The result after 5-10 years?
+8 to +15 kilos, even though you "don't actually do anything differently". The body has completely switched to saving and storing. This is not indiscipline, this is biology.
The good news: this is precisely where Liposana3 comes in
Liposana3 was specially developed for the female physiology and works exactly where the classic problems arise:
- The high-frequency ultrasound (caution: no fat cells are destroyed here!) activates the lymphatic system → excess water and waste products are removed more quickly (less "flabby feeling" after just 1-2 treatments).
- Neuromuscular stimulation rebuilds deep-lying muscles - without a gym. As a result, the basal metabolic rate increases again and the "economy mode" is broken.
- Further Frequemnz patterns gently harmonize physiological processes and reduce cortisol-induced storage - many women report less belly fat and a calmer sleep.
Women who do 60 minutes of Liposana3 2-3 times a week often see results after just a few weeks:
- 2-5 cm less abdominal girth
- Legs and face less swollen
- Fewer food cravings
- And the scales finally go down again - without starving yourself.
- Many women, especially after the menopause, report a real "kick-off" to becoming more active again
- The progressive muscle relaxation during the treatment ensures a measurable relaxation effect.
You are not "too weak" or "too old". Your body has just reacted to the new circumstances in your life - exactly as it has learned to do in evolutionary terms. Now you can show it that it can let go again.
If you've had enough of creeping weight gain and finally want to feel that your body is on your side again - take a look at Liposana3 at your leisure. Most women who have tried it say one thing afterwards: "I wish I had known this 5 years earlier."
You still have enough time to flip the switch. Your body is just waiting for it ♡.
