Fat Loss Tips for People Over 50

---

When you cut corners on rest, your body pays the price. Poor sleep raises cortisol—the stress hormone—that tells your body to hold on to belly fat. It also disrupts hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin, making you crave sugar, carbs, and comfort foods the next day.

But when you consistently get 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep, your body repairs muscle, balances hormones, and resets metabolism—helping you burn fat more efficiently.

So protect your peace, protect your progress, and make sleep part of your fat-loss strategy.

Intermittent fasting can be a gentle reset for your metabolism, but the key is to start simple and safe. Begin with a 12:12 schedule fast for 12 hours and eat during a 12-hour window (for example, finish dinner at 7 PM and eat breakfast at 7 AM). As your body adjusts, you can gradually shorten your eating window if it feels comfortable.

Stay hydrated with water, black coffee, or unsweetened tea during fasting hours, and focus on balanced meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats during eating times to maintain energy and protect muscle. Consistency matters more than pushing for long fasts, so listen to your body and adjust as needed.

Most importantly, intermittent fasting should feel sustainable, not restrictive, helping you reduce cravings, improve digestion, and support fat loss after 50 in a safe way.
