Losing Weight After 60 Without Losing Muscle | Health and Fitness News
Description
Losing weight after sixty isn’t just tough—it’s a whole new challenge fueled by slowing metabolism, muscle loss, and joint pain. With nearly 40% of seniors battling obesity, the goal shifts from just shedding pounds to preserving strength and independence. The secret? Prioritize protein (1.2–1.6g per kg of body weight) and strength training—even with just resistance bands or chair workouts—to protect muscle and prevent frailty. Pair that with low-impact cardio like walking or swimming, and don’t forget to review medications that might sabotage your progress. Consistency over intensity, backed by support, is your ultimate edge.
