[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Protein, protein, protein. It made a HUGE difference when I was in my 40s. I started to craze less carbs and sugars. Now, I love protein. As a snack, I eat unsalted nuts. I have no desire for sugar or carbs. [/quote] This has also been my experience. Low carbs (mostly from plants), limited refined sugars, and a gram of protein for each pound of target weight. As for the cardio debate... Walking is technically cardio. That's not really a problem. Heavy, steady-state cardio (think running on a treadmill) can cause hunger spikes, and impede fat loss. Weight training, or a combo like HIIT that also pushes you cardiovascularly, prioritizes building muscle which burns fat at rest. The more muscle you have to support, the more calories you're using to maintain it (oversimplified, but that's the math). Steady state cardio doesn't build muscle; it might break down muscle if you're not properly fueling and providing adequate protein supply. [/quote]
