How to go on a diet after fifty?

How to dispose of a few pounds if we are in menopause or andropause and the body does not respond as well as it once did to calorie restriction and disposable diets?

Of course, today’s fifties plus yesterday’s fifties already have at least half a life of various diets behind them.
This has often contributed to slowing down their metabolism, but in general, going on a menopausal or andropause diet is not a walk in the park.

The metabolism is slower, the body seems almost a crazy machine and we are almost resigned to seeing the scales rise little by little.
But no!

After seeing what dieticians recommend for a diet during menopause , let’s see how to go on a diet after the age of fifty. For both men and women.

HOW TO DIET AFTER FIFTY YEARS

• According to the American doctor Andrea Giancoli, here are the things a woman or a man who wants to lose weight after the age of 50 should ask.

  1) If you need a vitamin supplement, especially D and B.
  2) If you take medications, what foods do you struggle with the medications you usually take (example: grapefruit interacts badly with cholesterol medications ).
  3) If he eats enough, which is absurd but true. You should never have diets that are below 1400 calories, in order not to run into nutrient deficiencies that would hinder weight loss.

• But which diet after the age of fifty can we consider the right one?

• After the age of fifty we need to take in more proteins, helping us with vegetable sources such as soy, legumes (perfect lupins), oilseeds (hemp seeds), white meats and especially fish and shellfish.
• But we don’t have to choose high-protein diets. Thumbs down against Dukan, Paleo and the like.
• Yes, on the other hand, to a slightly protein balanced diet, such as the Zone diet , or a balanced and normocaloric diet such as the Flachi diet, which we have already talked about here .
• Exercise essential: activities every day of at least half an hour, with more intense days in which you can take some classes in the gym or try to exercise at home.
