how to lose weight fast over 50
Today, we will talk about aging with strength which focuses on a strong body and mind. The two work in tandem. Many readers who struggle with weight gain ask how to lose weight fast over 50. There has been lots of misinformation slung our way throughout the years, with a common misconception that it’s next to impossible to lose weight once menopause knocks on our door.
After the age of fifty, things begin to change in our bodies. Fifty-one is the average age of menopause. Once we hit postmenopausal (twelve months without menstruating), we produce less estrogen and are at a greater risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and depression. This is why it’s more important than ever to take care of our bones, stay active, eat right, train our brain, get enough sleep, have a healthy gut, and treat our skin with kindness. For half a century or more, we’ve earned confidence and wisdom that comes along with aging. Now it’s time to enjoy every minute of it. Healthy habits will help us live our happiest days.
How to lose weight fast over 50
For the past fifty years, we’ve been told to cut calories and exercise more. right?! Wrong. While exercise is key to staying active, our diet is the most important factor in aging well. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times you can’t out-exercise a poor diet. It took me sixty years to let that one fact sink in. And we’ve also been fed a lie that it’s natural to gain weight as we age, especially fat around our mid-section. While it’s easy to gain weight after fifty, it isn’t impossible to lose it. If you are interested in how to lose weight fast over 50, it starts with your eating habits. The next round of FASTer Way to Fat Loss begins Monday, November 1. Just in time for the holidays!

Thanks for including well being in your approach to beauty and fashion, Beth. I’m sure more than one of us has purchased something to grow into – grin.
Portion size , eating out, exercise – we all know, but. I have been trying to loose 10 lbs – forever! Did it once on a ‘diet,’ but of course fell off the wagon. I finally have lost the weight – portion size, exercise and not eating out. Silver lining to Covid. I lost interest in food, started spending more time in my flower gardens and walking and only ordering take out from time to time to support the local restaurants. I still love my daily wine/cocktail and I still eat pumpkin pies, etc., but food doesn’t haunt me anymore, and I feel way more at peace with it and my body size.
Hope this helps fellow strugglers – health is the best jewelry 🎁
“Health is the best jewelry” —
PERFECT! Andrea, I am going to print your quote and put it on my refrigerator.
Happy Halloween everyone and thank you Beth for trying to help us be healthy.
Take care
Sandra
Thanks for sharing! But I will emphasize that proper nutrition is what fuels our bodies and brains. If we want to live a vibrant and healthy life it centers around food – nutritious food, not the scale.
Sorry if nutrition got lost in translation, Beth. I definitely didn’t mean to put the scale front and Center, The only reason I mentioned it, was for those of us who have struggled with weight loss. I have noticed a huge difference in my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. My knees are happier and my outlook is lighter. My body gives me little jabs when I ignore my weight. I’m not thin, I’m a size 12. I have lung issues and arthritis, so keeping within a healthy weight range, for me, means I can maintain an active lifestyle – again as you say – emphasis on Health.
so many women of my generation and my mothers were so focused on the scale. i just like to mention health and nutrition every chance i get. healthy choices help
auto-immune diseases like psoriatic arthritis. and, yes, our joints thank us when our bodies are lighter.
Since retiring at 57 I weigh almost 10 pounds less at age 70 than I did when working. How? The office snacks of cheese, candy, pizza, etc. were hard to say no to! I’ve never dieted, but I think my meal planning 2 weeks at a time has helped. Do I still eat pizza, chocolate, etc., of course, but always in moderation and balance. I get weighed once every couple of weeks, and I allow myself a 1-2 pound weight swing. If it hits that 1-2 pound swing, I make sure the meal planning for the next few days keeps me where I want to be. For me at least, a strict diet plan would be too difficult to sustain. Balanced eating and portion control has allowed me to maintain a healthy weight for all these years. Three square meals a day with no snacking keeps me sustained.
I would just add that it’s the type of food we’re consuming. Of course, we want to keep a healthy weight. But our generation was obsessed with the scale instead of what we were feeding our bodies and brains. Nutrition is of utmost importance to living a vibrant and healthy life. A calorie is not just a calorie. Calories from spinach are much different than calories from candy. It seems like such a simple concept but food and more specifically the wrong type of food is the real culprit behind many 21st-century diseases.
there is no price tag when it comes to health. there is no monthly fee that’s an option if you want to continue as a VIP. but $199 for six weeks of one-on-one counseling,
meal plans, workout routines, and learning how to eat nutritiously for the rest of your life is a bargain.
