What is the best or most viable source for those of us in our eighties and more, to lose a few pounds sensibly?
I would recommend that you have a qualified nutrition specialist fomulate a specific diet as per your individual body requirements. A customized plan would help to cut down on the calories without necessarily starving you and will help you to slowly reduce your body weight sensibly. A few common things to do yourself:
- monitor what you ingest
- drink skim milk and not whole milk
- eat small portions of meals and carbohydrates
- increase fruits and vegetables in your diet
- exercise at least 30 minute of aerobic exercise three times a week
Set reasonable goals and be consistent. Please also check with your personal care physician to ensure you do not have any underlying endocrine problems like thyroid, diabetes, etc.
