[quote=Anonymous]I would just do a few things and I bet you’ll see weight loss. Not that you need to do this though, you sound perfectly healthy and fit.

1. Impressive that you walk 13,000 steps a day-that’s great and keep it up!  Movement and low impact green zone movement is really great for fat burning past 40.  Try adding a weighted vest for a few miles when you go walking to improve strength and bone density.
2. Add more protein, yes I know it’s trendy but it’s true.  Protein heavy every meal.  Leans meats, eggs, egg whites, cheese, yogurts, powders, shakes, bars, whatever it is try to get at least 100-120g of protein daily. FIBER, also huge and important.  Eat at least 30g daily.  More fruits like berries, apples, and veggies like broccoli, sweet potatoes, spinach etc.  add in nuts and seeds like chia or flax when you can.  Fiber and protein heavy are goals.
3. Cut out added sugars and most processed food.  Start making more meals at home with real food.  Sweeten with natural products like and maple syrup and honey if you get cravings.  
4. Carbs are okay as long as they are complex carbs.  No need to be carb free, just eat whole grains, complex carbs beans, quinoa, lentils are all great!
5. Strength training 30 minutes a few times a week-DON’T go crazy on cardio workouts!! They will stress your body into producing more cortisol which makes you hang on to your fat.  Strength training and lifting weights will help you shred and that combined with your large amount of daily walking will get you results.
