MY NO 1 FAT-LOSS TIP FOR THE OVER 50's.
DO NOT eat less and exercise more !
When you start to suddenly reduce your food intake, your body see's this as a form of stress- then at the same time you start to go mad doing some exercise, this only add's to the stress levels - negative hormones will eventually start to kick in making the whole thing an unpleasant experience.
Eating less and exercising more may work well for a few but for the rest of us mere mortals taking things a bit more slowly is the way to go.
I only wish that I had this information myself when I first started my life-style change in 2011 I wasted so much time getting it all wrong.
The best way to start your own fat-loss journey I think is first get the all clear from your G.P.
Start some form of resistance training - like working out with dumbbells 3 x half hour sessions per week. When you start to exercise you will automatically make healthier food choices.
After a few month's working out you could start to reduce food intake and after that slowly introduce some form of cardio.
