Weight management can be a tricky thing, particularly as we get older. Life just gets busier and busier, and our focus is often diverted elsewhere. Before we know it, middle-age spread is making its presence felt - and this can be very hard to shift.
But it’s essential that we do prioritise our health and wellbeing as the years go on, as weight gain can pose significant risks to health, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and certain kinds of cancer.
And weight gain kind of just creeps up on us as we get older, with our metabolism slowing down and muscle loss from the age of 30 onwards (around three to five per cent of muscle mass is lost per decade) meaning that our bodies are less able to burn calories as efficiently as they used to.
But this doesn’t necessarily mean that our appetites are diminished, unfortunately, which is why we might start feeling a little heavier than we used to, despite not actually eating significantly more.
But it does mean that you may have to make a few lifestyle changes, such as increasing the amount of resistance training you do to help build muscle as you age, as well as making dietary changes like eating less processed food and reducing your refined sugar intake.
While being more active and getting more exercise will certainly help you from a weight management perspective, if you don’t review your diet, you’ll likely see results plateau sooner rather than later.
It sounds simple, perhaps, but it can be very tricky to keep on top of healthy eating, making sure that you’re getting all the essential nutrients you need to power your body and your brain, and keep you in excellent health as time goes on.
There’s a difference between lifespan and healthspan, after all, and by making dietary changes now you can help ensure that you live a long and happy life, keeping chronic disease and adverse health outcomes at bay.
If you’re keen to maximise your chances of success, you might find some answers in the form of meal replacement diets, where you support your weight loss ambitions with nutritionally complete low-calorie shakes, snacks, soups and ready-to-eat meals in sachet form where all you have to do is add water!.
Stocking the cupboards full with these supportive diet products means you can stick to your goals, no matter how hectic life gets, without having to worry that you’re compromising your health by reducing your overall food intake.
It’s easy to cut back on calories, but you need to make sure that you’re still getting all the essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients required to support good health, or you could end up causing more problems than you solve.
