Memorizing the following simple healthy eating tips and putting them into practice can lead to weight loss without special diets, weight loss programs, exercise books, or medication.

Our body weight is determined by the amount of energy we eat for food and the amount of energy we expend on our day’s activities. Energy is measured in calories. Metabolism is the sum of all chemical processes in the body that support life. Your basal metabolic rate is the number of calories (amount of energy) your body needs to perform its necessary functions. If your weight remains constant, it is probably a sign that you are consuming the same number of calories that you burn daily. If you gain weight slowly over time, your calorie intake will exceed the number of calories you burn in your daily activities. You may also like to check What to eat on Paleo.

Every adult controls the amount of food they eat each day, so our calorie intake is something we can control. To a large extent, we can also control our energy production or the number of calories we burn each day. 

How many calories do we burn a day?

It depends on the following

• What is the number of calories we burn per hour just by being alive and maintaining bodily functions?
• What is the level o four physical activities?
• Genetic (hereditary) factors or other health issues, the resting metabolic rate (RMR) may be slightly higher or lower than average. Our weight also plays a role in determining how many calories we burn while at rest – the more calories it takes to keep your body in its current state, the higher your body weight. A 100-pound person needs less energy (food) to maintain body weight than a 200-pound person.
• Lifestyle and work habits partially determine how many calories we need each day. A person whose job involves heavy physical labor will naturally burn more calories in a day than a person sitting at a desk most of the day (sedentary work). People who don’t have jobs requiring vigorous physical activity, exercise, or increased physical activity can increase the number of calories burned.

Losing weight after 60 is not an easy thing. However, if someone manages to achieve this goal, he/she can easily live an active and healthy life in their senior years. It is not an easy thing to achieve at this age; it takes fair determination and effort. Have a look at the Bodybuilding and candida diet relation.

However, it does not mean that you can not lose weight after 60. It only demands you to know your body and how it changes with time. By knowing this, you can create a healthy diet plan for yourself and lose weight as well.

Moreover, you would have to set a goal before starting all of this. Ask yourself, how much weight are you ready to lose? You should know what’s right and what’s wrong for you at this age. That’s why we recommend you to stay in touch with your health care team more often.
