[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don’t think any of the things you mention will help you with weight loss (except perhaps the sleep, if you were sleep deprived to begin with).

In middle age you need to focus on lifting weights and building muscle. Cardio is great for other purposes, but will not move the needle much for weight loss.

Juicing is…just adding sugar to your diet. Why would you do this??  Eat some hard boiled eggs or vegetables, don’t add in empty calories!

Here are my ideas:
Focus heavily on nutrition and track every bite of food you eat for the next week. Evaluate the breakdown of protein/carbs/fat and see if it looks balanced. Figure out what calorie target you want to be at.

Lift heavy weights at the gym.

Drink water if you are thirsty. Sleep when you are tired. Don’t go overboard.

Try intermittent fasting if you aren’t a big breakfast eater. It can really help kick things off.

Avoid sugar and alcohol as much as you can.

Get outside in the gorgeous weather and walk or bike or whatever you enjoy.

Good luck![/quote]
