Keeping a healthy weight is a worthwhile goal at any age. As you get older, it can get trickier.
You might not be burning calories like you did when you were younger, but you can still take off extra pounds.
The golden rules of weight loss still apply:
- Burn more calories than you eat or drink.
- Eat more veggies, fruits, whole grains, fish, beans, and low-fat or fat-free dairy; and keep meat and poultry lean.
- Limit empty calories, like sugars and foods with little or no nutritional value.
- Avoid fad diets because the results don’t last.
There are some other things you need to do if you’re over 60 and want to lose weight.
