[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I eat moderately, always good food. I do 10,000 steps a day but the older I get, I just gain. [/quote] You lose muscle and burn fewer calories at rest as you get older. Let me suggest you're outeating your exercise program. I have wrestled with weight management for decades. I'm basically under control now. It has to start with food. Count calories. When I want to lose I shift to 1400 calories per day, aiming at a soft target of 100 grams of protein per day so I burn fat instead of muscle. Exercise is about 8,000 steps. At that calorie input I lose 1-2 pounds per week. When I hit my target I'll let up not counting calories and eating more fun foods, and when my weight creeps up I go back to 1400 calories. The 1400 can be adjusted up or down as needed. Don't do anything unhealthy to lose weight and let your doctor know what you're doing. [/quote]
