[quote=Anonymous]I am nearly 50 and get a little bothered when I see fine lines or slightly saggy boobs etc.  Or when my daughter tells me I must start colouring my hair.  I echo other sentiments.  Avoid ultra-processed food.  Make everything you eat from scratch, even dressings.  Hidden sugars are a plague in ultra-processed food.  Watch Dr  Robert Lustig on YouTube.  Eat three square meals of real high fiber food.  Don't graze all day but eat three squares.  Eat whole fat plain yoghurt.  Avoid anything that has low or reduced fat.  Go on daily brisk walks.  Don't count calories.

Btw I am same weight as at 18.  Metabolically healthy.  About 6 years ago I gained 20 lbs over period of 5 months (moved across country, various reasons). Prior to my weight gain, I had stopped working and with all this sudden new time, I had started lifting weights and exercising daily.  The weights added 5 lbs but I looked great.  My appetite increased but that was ok BC of daily exercise and weights.  I suddenly stopped BC I went back to work but I didn't cut my appetite or intake down.  That's when I gained nearly 20.   I hadn't stepped on scale in months but when I did I was shocked.  That was the highest I've been ever other than pregnancies.  It took a year for me to drop 20 lbs.  I did three squares of real food and walked briskly daily.  I also weigh frequently (4 times a week) and track on phone app.  I'm ne CV er ok letting that weight creep up again.

Hang in there. You can do this. Slow and steady.  Start reading labels.  Consider a food label a warning label.  Pepperidge farm whole wheat bread has added sugars.  Eat Ezekiel.  Sugar has 56 names so it is best to try to cook as much as possible.  [/quote]
