As we mature our requirements are less, because we do slow down on our activity and our metabolism slows down.
And it all gets down to CALORIES IN AND CALORIES OUT.
THE FOLLOW IS A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE AND A PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE ONE. Use it as a guide.

· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.
·
· When you deprive your brain, the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

You cannot loose FAT more than 2 to 3 pounds a week. Any more than that and you are loosing water and muscle mass (not good)

AND DON'T GO ON A DIET. DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat. Linked to heart diseases, high blood pressure, cancer, arthritis, etc.
3) nothing fried, sauté in olive oils
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.)
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows; your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, B-12 and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

Answer 3

I know how you feel. I'm over 40 and have had two kids. I needed to lose over 50 pounds. I did the common sense stuff(gave up sugary drinks & fast food) and I started doing at least 30 min of cardio everyday, but it wasn't until I found this website that the weight really started to come off. I learned which foods to avoid and how to eat to lose the weight and keep it off. I lost 5 pounds the first week and have lost 20 pounds so far. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Once you get older your body starts to change and you gain weight in places you didnt before cause your metabolism slows down
