Eat this not that page offers ways to eat to reduce fat and lose weight for women over 50 years old.

As women reach their 50s, their metabolism slows down significantly and important hormones change. This can lead to rapid weight gain, sagging skin, loss of muscle mass, and health problems. A healthy diet can help women in this age group achieve their fat loss, weight loss, and quality of life goals.

Healthy diet

A healthy diet is one that works for you. Add broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, carrots, beets, celery, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, herbs, low-glycemic fruits, whole grains, lean protein, green tea to your diet.

Eat 5-6 meals a day and eat 3-4 hours apart so your metabolism doesn't slow down.

Eat lean protein

Your body needs protein to function properly. Muscles, hair, nails... are all made up of protein.

At 50, you will naturally lose some muscle mass. Therefore, you must add lean protein to your diet to build muscle mass and increase muscle strength. Eat mushrooms, tofu, chicken breast, fish, lentils, soybeans, nuts, cruciferous vegetables... to get a good amount of protein.

Don't skip meals

Skipping meals can leave you hungry, weak, and hamper your brain function. In fact, skipping meals can slow down your metabolism and cause you to eat more. Eat regularly, in the right proportions, and at the right times.

Count your calories

First, make a 3-day chart and record the foods you eat for 3 days, including 1 weekend day. We tend to eat more on weekends. Use an app to see how many calories you have consumed.

Then calculate how many calories you should be consuming and adjust accordingly. There are many online tools to do this simple test.
