How to Lose Weight After 50; 5 important Tips

Bike and Save Your Health

There are some important things you should understand about being healthy and happy.  Here is a video that explains some important background if you are forty and above and you have battle with your extra weight and the bulge.

Battle with the routine and the bulge

If you are over forty most of the time your life is a routine, and you are overweight, has battle with the diminished interest in life that goes with it sluggishness, and all sorts of things.  The sad truth is in USA, 2/3 of people are overweight and l/3 are obese.

5 important tips about weight loss problems

l.  You have to watch your belly size more than you watch your weight.  A large belly means you have more likely to have disease of the lungs, heart and liver.  There are no people who are 60 who have waistline above 40. My MD told me that my longevity is inversely proportional to my weight measurement.  Fortunately it is 32 inches

2.  It is more difficult to lose weight if you are older.  Without exercise or intervention, you add 8-l2 lbs every decade as you get older.  You lose muscles which metabolizes more; fat of course  cant metabolize itself, and therefore, you accumulate more fat, which makes it difficult for you to lose weight. Is it fat snowball effect?

3.  If you are overweight, you are most likely to have sugar addiction.  If you are menopausal, (or men o pause in the case of men) you are likely to produce less serotonin, the feeling good hormone and most likely to be less happy and  depressed, and fight it off by eating more food rich in sugar or white flour.  Sugar as we know it causes diabetes and weight gain.  Your low estrogen, testosterone secretion causes this. Being high in GI, the body has to produce more insulin which causes your body to decrease  its metabolism of fat, and you gain weight.  The American food industry add  l40 to l80 lbs of sugar and white flour to the diet.

4.  You are likely to have sugar problem and metabolic problem of your weight gain.

5.  Once you have found these, you can make some simple diet changes and exercise to regain the body weight and figure you once had.  Some ideas:  drinking cold water, reverse meal, simple walking biking exercise.  Nothing fancy or expensive.

Diet and Exercise Industry want the Way you Are.?

The diet and fitness industry actually give us the wrong information so that they will earn more.  They do not want us to succeed.  So those machines, diet, tips, gymns will make you lose some weight but recover them soon enough.  They, if you are paranoid, together with the food industry simply want you stay the way you are.
