"Experts Recommend Strength Training Tri-Weekly for Over 50s Weight Loss"

Experts suggest that for individuals over 50, strength training at least three times a week is essential for weight loss and maintaining muscle mass, which is crucial for a healthy metabolism. Hormonal changes, reduced estrogen levels, and a more sedentary lifestyle contribute to weight gain during this period. Tips for weight loss include incorporating aerobic exercise, embracing resistance training, cutting back on processed sugars, limiting snacking, prioritizing fiber, reducing stress, protecting sleep, and adopting a Mediterranean-style diet. It's important to consult with a doctor or registered dietitian if there's no success after trying these methods consistently.
