Whether you are dieting or not breakfast serves as most important meal of the day. Eating healthy breakfast will keep you remain more active and energetic for the whole day and it will also keeps you from binge eating.

As the age factor grabs you, you start becoming more lethargic towards physical activities. Start doing those again. Don’t be lazy in doing physical work like using stairs instead of the lift, doing some house activities that will keep your body movement in place.

Try to get involved in social activities which will keep you moving from here and there and that will help you some weight loss.

  1. Eat more veggies and fruits:

Instead of deep-fried vegetables and energy or soft drinks, try to add no-cooked fresh veggies in your breakfast and dinner. Also, add no sugary drinks or fruit juices to your meal.

Because of growing age body metabolism starts decreasing by five to eight percent with each decade. So the consumption of healthy food should be optimal.

  1. Eat when you are hungry:

If you feel your stomach is empty, then immediately eat something. Because you are feeling hungry mean your body is lacking nutrients and it requires calories to perform activities of your body. So don’t skip the meal when you are hungry. If you skip this you will end up eating more while having the next meal and this will be of no use in weight loss.

At this point of age, you have more responsibilities, more bills to payout, work stress, unhealthy and improper timings of a meal. You have to set all these things in place if you really want to lose weight.
