How to lose weight?

You are going to get a million different answers here.

Go to you doctor and ask for a blood work up and to be referred to a nutritionist.

If you are overweight, I assume you are sedentary in your habits. You should eat no more than 2800 calories a day. You must eat 8 oz of protein a day to stay healthy and alert. Remember that eating protein keeps you from feeling starved. Watch the fat. You should not have any more than 2 Tablespoons of fat per day...(olive oil, butter, fats from meats, etc).

To give you some idea of how much to eat, a thin hamburger the size of the palm of your hand contains about 400 calories. The palm of your hand trick works for most meats and proteins.

If you are going out for lunch, and you order a hamburger, and it's huge when it arrives, cut it in half and take the rest home.

One large egg is about 100 calories. I strip of bacon cooked crisp is about 120 calories.

Almost every food in the grocery store tells you how many calories it is, and what the serving sizes are.

If you are eating a salad, you can have almost an entire head of lettuce for 50 calories, BUT...salad dressing is usually about 100 calories per tablespoon, because it contains oil...so, if you are out to eat, or even at home, order the salad dressing on the side and just lightly dip your bite in the dressing to consume less.

Don't play games with yourself, telling yourself that your hamburger is smaller than the palm of your hand, so you can have two. You'll lose that game.

Get a dog, and walk the dog at least 3 times a day. It builds your wind and endurance.


The 20 Best Ways to Lose Weight After 50

Learn to enjoy strength training. Although cardio gets a lot of attention when it comes to weight loss, strength training is also important, especially for older adults.
Team up.
Sit less and move more.
Bump up your protein intake.
Talk to a dietitian.
Cook more at home.
Eat more produce.
Hire a personal trainer.

There are only two ways to lose weight: decrease the calories you eat or increase the calories you use.

It's probably best to do both. But don't change your eating and exercise habits too radically too quickly, especially if you are very overweight.

Changing the kind of food you eat might also be useful, less sugar, more fibre, drink more water.

You don't need the gym, but joining one and consulting their trainer might help you to be motivated.

What works for me is to use a smaller plate than usual and to go for a walk of at least six thousand steps every day.

Don't take my word for it though (or any other random internet person), consult an actual expert, a doctor, trainer, dietitian.

Weight loss is 75% diet and 25% exercise .

First answer is really the best. Get blood work done to rule out any conditions you might have wherein weight gain is a symptom. Talk to your doctor and if you can, see a registered dietician. And beware, there's a crucial difference between a dietician and a nutritionist. A nutritionist is anyone who calls himself that; a dietician mu satisfy training, supervision, testing and certification requirements. And you don't want to know which food to eat and avoid; you want to learn how to tell the difference for yourself and how to manage an eating plan.

Good luck. And move. If only for 5 minutes. Then tomorrow, 10. Next week, 20. You can do this and there's help out there. Go get the life you see yourself in.

If money is not a problem there is a diet plan , SOTA , that does a SOTA at home plan. You call in and give them your metrics (height, weight, body fat %, etc.) , then tell them how much you want to lose. They will come up with a plan (nutritionists) and ship you the food and the instructions. You also have to cook your own dinner according to their plan. Its Keto. Your doctor may have something your insurance will pay for, but the SOTA has worked for a lot of my friends. Like 100 pounds plus lost for a few of them in 6 months.

Its now how much you eat its what you eat... stay away from simple carbs, eat smaller meals, do some sort of exercise at least 4 times a week..a be patient!.... im a bit older than you and ive lost almost 20 lbs over the last 8 months

Were you able to put weight just because of over eating? You must have stopped working out to meet how much you ate. You must have lost control over your taste cravings. Now you need to work that every thing.

So you want others to do your research for you? You can Google that. And take into consideration any medical issues, food allergies or foods you can’t eat for other reasons

🤔 I guess one need to stop sleeping all the time.

It’s really all the above. I hear ya, it’s not easy. 🤗

It really isn't very complicated. Calorie count. Count up how much you consume (calorie wise) each day, and then reduce that amount by several hundred calories.

Exercise can speed the process up, but it mainly comes down to how much you eat.

I have no clue
