[quote=Anonymous]It's tougher at 50+ but not impossible. Stay away from quick loss or deprivation diets. Cut out a few hundred calories a day, especially from processed foods, and find a way to burn a few more calories through any means possible. If through dieting and exercise you can cut/burn 500 calories a day you can lose a pound a week. Dieting is the key. A donut can be 200 calories. A Coke 140 calories. An hour of vigorous walking only burns about 400 calories. By being cognizant of what you are eating every day and cutting out a few things (do i really need that donut?) can make a huge difference. I was a jerk tonight and ate a Klondike bar with 190 calories. It tasted great but I should have skipped it. I need to swim for 30 minutes to make up for it. Dumb! For me dieting is the key and working out is great for basic cardio and fitness. But without dieting, my workouts won't help peal off the pounds.[/quote]
