Eat more protein.
One of the best nutrients you can eat for weight loss and maintaining your overall health is protein. And because of protein's ability to help you build muscle, it's also crucial in the aging process as your muscle mass begins to decline.
Try intermittent fasting.
Another suggestion that our dietitians have for those wanting to lose weight after 50 is trying intermittent fasting. If you're interested, talk to your doctor or dietitian to see if it might work for you and your goals!
Eat more whole grains.
Whole grains can be a healthy and necessary part of your daily diet because they are nutrient-dense and high in fiber. D'Angelo notes though that some whole grains are better than others for weight loss.
Try the Mediterranean diet.
The Mediterranean diet has been found to be a healthy way of eating for your heart health and longevity, and Best assures that it may be a great way to lose weight after 50, too.
