After Dry January, our weight loss has plateaued a bit so an article in Women’s Health caught our eye. It covered tips for losing weight when over 60. There are not too many surprises here but it’s a good reminder.
- Do some form of aerobic exercise
- Do some strength training to build muscle mass which burns calories
- Avoid processed foods (damn!)
- Keep a food journal
- Drink lots of water
- Eat healthy snacks (damn!)
- Get fiber in your diet
- Eat protein (see muscle mass above)
- Manage stress (while doing all this??)
- Prep nourishing meals (while doing all this??)
- Lean on support system (naturally, since we’re exhausted)
So there you go! Problem solved!
