How Some Seniors Manage Weight More Effectively, Without Counting Calories Or Carbs

Losing weight and getting healthier without giving up on your favorite foods is relatively simple. The first step is to identify (and stop making!) 3 major mistakes that hold many seniors back.
My name is Suzan. At the age of 72, I was 195 pounds, and my medical charts painted a sorry picture.
From walking to the bathroom to going up and down the stairs… to walking into a store, playing with my grandkids, or cooking for my loving husband… it all took a toll on me.
Every time I stepped on the scale, I vowed something would change. Yet every night, I caught myself snacking and overthinking about my health.
The only reason I can open up about this period of my life is that I was able to turn my deteriorating health around.
I now fit into clothes I couldn’t fit into for years. And I did it all without starving, restricting my food choices, counting calories, or watching my carbs.
I’m aging gracefully
Over the years, I tried dozens of diet plans, but I couldn’t stick to any of them over the long term. I always fell off the wagon and reverted to the bad habits that got me into the mess I was in.
I now realize I was making 3 major mistakes that held me back. I know this because once I stopped making them, I was able to lose weight – for good. I made consistent progress every week without experiencing plateaus.
Everything began when a close friend of mine told me about a new weight loss protocol for seniors.
She claimed it helped her lose weight consistently and fast without a lot of effort. You read about such things, and you think yeah, yeah, it’s too good to be true, it’s just marketing, it’s just selling me something. But this was my friend telling me. And she insisted.
So I gave it a try, thinking I would just lose a pound here and a pound there.
I was not prepared to experience the results I did. Not only did I drop weight and kept it off, but my weight loss was also without demotivating plateaus.
I can’t overstate my results. My worn-out joints feel stronger and less stiff. I wake up feeling fantastic. I can stand straight and move with more grace and fluidity.
I still have a long way to go, but people could tell the difference from the first few weeks. It’s such a fantastic feeling.
I wish every person my age could experience this. The freedom and joy of knowing the best part of your life hasn’t passed by… but that it just begins.
I’ll tell you all you need to know about the protocol my friend shared with me, but first, I want to share 3 major mistakes that sabotaged my progress over the years.
Mistake #1: Following “new” popular diets
I kept following every “new” diet that got popular. Most of these popular diets recommended I stop eating certain types of foods, such as carbs.
But they had a “one-size-fits-all” approach. They weren’t made for me. That’s why I couldn’t stick with them.
I had to wake up one day and say that’s it. I’m done now. I need to change this, in a serious way, with determination, with commitment, and that’s basically what I did.
I decided to stick to one personalized, custom diet plan with professional guidance. This ensured I was getting my body everything it needed to thrive.
This simple decision helped me control and kick cravings and minimize emotional eating.
Mistake #2: Over-restricting myself
All this did was make me overindulge later. The truth is there are no “bad” foods when you eat in moderation. For example, one of my favorite snacks is chocolate.
Anytime I went on a diet, I’d try to stop eating chocolate altogether. But this made me crave chocolate even more. I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Which eventually caused me to cave in and eat an entire chocolate bar (or three) in one sitting.
Since I started the new protocol my friend shared with me, I’ve stopped fighting the foods I love. Not only has this been a Godsend for my mental health, but it’s also working great for my waistline.
After decades of back and forth diets, I’ve found the sweet middle ground between eating what I love and eating a healthy, balanced diet.
Mistake #3: Thinking weight gain is a part of aging
I was convinced that my lifestyle choices had done a lot of damage. That it was simply too late to feel healthy and happy.
I now know it’s possible to become healthier and lose weight. You simply need the right tools.
Of course, I’m not talking about those quick fixes or elixirs you see in magazines or TV. These are typically produced for the masses and certainly not for seniors. People in my age group have a slower metabolism and deal with various health conditions, so our needs are different.
The solution is a routine that’s designed to fit your individual nutritional needs. One that also allows you a little wiggle room to enjoy the foods you love.
It’s one of the most reliable ways to lose weight and enjoy a healthier life.
The weight loss protocol that worked for me
The way I turned my health around is through Perfect Body, which gave me a personalized weight loss plan based on my age, weight, health history, and favorite foods.
All I did was answer a simple, free quiz.
What I received was the exact opposite of the one-size-fits-all diets that kept letting me down. Professional nutritionists customized my plan for my specific needs.
The app does everything for me. What used to frustrate me – such as tracking calories, counting macros, and planning meals – is now all done for me.
Plus, I get to pick from thousands of personalized recipes that take no longer than 15 minutes to prepare… complete with tips on how to eat out without much hassle.
Yes, the first few days were a little trickier, but things got a lot easier after my body adjusted. I love the menu, I love the recipes, I love the shopping lists, I love how they watch my calories and plan my portions for me.
Most of all, I love how I feel full every day. I no longer have to rely on willpower or deal with constant cravings. It’s easy to keep my appetite in check. The food is brilliant.
It feels like I have a personal nutritionist in my pocket who keeps me focused, accountable, and motivated every step of the way.
I have tried multiple other weight-loss programs in my life, but I swear this is different. I can’t overstate this enough. It’s so easy. I’ve recommended Perfect Body to so many people.
I found this at the exact time I needed it. Almost like fate. It really changed my life. I look and feel more youthful and healthier inside out.
I wake up every morning and actually feel awake instead of tired. I can power through simple tasks that felt difficult just a few months ago.
And whenever friends or family invite me to fun events and trips… I say YES!

I am 72. Sure, I too am aging gracefully. I was 85 neat with a 5.8-inch height. Well, I went knee replacement operation 13 days ago. So painful experience. I have lost 5 kg. I am worried. because of the the loss of my weight I look old. Otherwise, I looked young.
I am not on special dieting. I take 2 eggs every day, fresh fruit juice, 2 Roti, veg, salmon, subway (once a week) Dal, milk half cup. No tea, no coffee. No extra sugar.
How am I doing Madam/ friends? Please suggest.
Are the recipes based on grams as opposed to pounds?
I lost over 30lbs easily by cutting out most bread, chocolate, ice cream, potatoes, biscuits etc and replaced it with fruit and veg.
I’m allergic to corn, I can’t even have popcorn.

Looks interesting at 76
So far i am reading whole body reset 2022 and anti inflamatory. Along with Glycemic . It was working but i am stuck for a while. Looking for help. Exercise not part of my weight loss. Due to excuses
I am a vegetarian. I love vegetables not keen on tofu. Most of these plans include meat
Sounds good to me
Lookforward to hearing more
Overweight, unfit not happy with myself
Can’t wait to try it!
What if I purchase it and don’t like the meals
Will the plan be sent to me?
I need to lose at least 30 pounds
This looks wonderful!!
This also worked for me, losing 37 pounds in a few months. Weight Watchers didn’t work . Jenny Craig didn’t work. WW changed and let you eat what you wanted on weekends. That doesn’t work. JC was full of white carbs. I decided to try Perfect Body. It’s so easy to follow and it works! It only restricts the food you choose to restrict….....

I decided to try Perfect Body. It’s so easy to follow and it works! It only restricts the food you choose to restrict….. I chose red meat and refined sugar. In the first week I lost 6 pounds. It kept coming off and I’ve kept it off for 13 months. Now I do a modified version to maintain although yesterday I started again because I’d like to lose ten more. Love this plan
Cant wait to see it work!
I am excited about this plan.
Sounds great
Ek stel belang !
This diet (I hate to call them that) seems like it would work for me and my husband. He is a diabetic. Would love to try it!
I am going to try it…
Exciting
All sounds great – I am very interested
I’m confused. I read the comments & look at the pictures & they don’t compute the weight loss. The heavier women say they lost 10-20 lbs but the pictures they show are more like they lost 60-70 lbs?? Also when you order the one month plan, in small print it says “every month”, so would I be charged every month?
Wow Linda that is awesome, so if I can ask what kind of foods did you eat. So wonderful for you. Congratulations.
sounds good

The program was good but didn’t realistically fit my life situation. It was too time consuming to read all the good articles and log my food. I’m a 24/7 caregiver for my extremely disabled husband with no family members to help….I am the everything for us. I have so many hats to wear every day. .When stress appears….I eat. . ………………. So discouraged….age 74
Would love to lose unsightly weight. Years of trying and all fails.

My weight is 195 ponds. Its hard for me to loose weight. I do exercise and try to control my diet but its hard. I feel hungry all the time. My weight is up and down. I want to know how did you loose weight
Also exercise get up and move as much as possible. Eat less and eat less carbs and sugar. But strength train every day.
Cut out the carbohydrates and sugars…read the nutrition labels..per serving..and how much is a serving..half cup..one fourth cup..get the carbs below 100 FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAY..ditch the sugars..in drinks..junk food ..dried fruits..read the labels

My blood pressure was very high too and now it is normal…in fact all my tests are now normal. I refused to take the doctor’s prescription drugs as There are too many side effects do I chose to hot natural.
I was a type 2 diabetic and my blood sugar is normal….no meds. I took flushing niacin, vitamin C,D, and zinc and a few other supplements that I needed. I dropped all sugar, starches and carbs from my diet. I feel great, look great and my self esteem is what it should be. I really don’t exercise much, but I love to walk and do stretches. Sometimes I cheat a bit, but that is okay now that I have reached my goal weight. You don’t need a specialized diet to lose weight….just drop the carbs and sugar and determination sure helps.
Linda

Here I go…I too have had gastric bypass surgery in 2004. Lost close to 100 lbs. kept it off for 17 yrs. Although the last 2 years wouldn’t count because in the last 4 yrs ( I had hernia rupture, surgery, and lost 20 lbs) just couldn’t eat after surgery. Since then the 20 lbs have come back on. I don’t do anything different or eat anything more, and nurses have mentioned that this does happen as you get older. I just had my 71st birthday in August. I have taken very good care of my skin for years and glad I did. When I turned 60 my granddaughter said she thought I looked about 47. That’s the age of her father, my youngest son’s age right now and a son 49. I too have so many problems with digestive issues, bloat, gas, fluid retention especially with the hot summer we just had here in New England unbelievably hot. My knees are shot bone on bone, I do get the shots but can only get them every 4 months. I won’t have knee surgery for any reason, and my lower back is full of arthritis. I’m working on that with my Chiropractor and it has helped me several times. After being retired since 62 my husband and I do some traveling. It’s hard to get around doing things with the pain and arthritis. Then Covid came and stopped much of that, and we stayed home not doing much since. I’ve been at the point where I can’t stand looking at my body in the mirror. I like to dress up and use my makeup to look pretty, but none of the beautiful clothes we purchased over a year ago haven’t even been worn because they are all too tight. I don’t expect it to be able to get down to my earlier weight because after all those were my earlier years. I’m just 5 feet tall so even 5 extra pounds shows and hurts. I don’t usually comment to any groups like this but when I read the very first comment it sounded just like I was feeling for a long time. For my own health I would like to hear more about this diet lifestyle change.
Your regime sounds fascinating. I am struggling to lose weight. Very interested.
Very interesting, I am so interested in knowing more!!!
I’m 65; I have NAFLD and need to lose weight drastically. Have been overweight by at least ten kilos for the last twenty years.

Prepping for knee replacements. Drs want weight loss first but am concerned about excess skin and I wont have that surgery. No one talks about that but I’m going to. Plus I am fussy about what I choose to eat. Hard to stay motivated and dislike exercise. Doing some now. I’d like to try.
Go on! I had a partial knee replacement 10 years ago Right knee) and now I need the whole replacement … and the other is bothering a lot but with inyections it’s ok. I got arthritis and that stop me walking… I got the energy but not the health. Losing independence is not good. Lose weight, do you surgery and change your life…start walking...

The skin Yes! Everything goes down but it doesn’t matter.. you will be able to do things.
It sounds interesting and worth a try!

I would love to loose weight, after surgery I took 1year to recover and put on a lot of weight, 77 years old and feel I still have time to enjoy myself
I am 82 and have managed to lose 4 stones in weight. I did this by cutting out anything made from wheat, including cakes, biscuits, bread, etc. Counting calories is so complicated, and l eat chicken and salmon occasionally with lots of vegetables and lots of fruit. Do try it if you are over weight!
I have found this is the only way I can lose weight. No Carbs. No sugars. Only fats are olive oil and quarter of avocado per day. Mainly fish and vegetables sometimes chicken and very lean meat (small portions). I have lost over 20kgs (42lbs) in 10 months. I am 69 and battled all my life. Stomach ulcers and gall bladder problems forced me...

I am 69 and battled all my life. Stomach ulcers and gall bladder problems forced me to really look at diet to control the issues. The result has been weight loss and better health
Trish, I’m going to do what you have done! Thank you for sharing!! You are very encouraging!! I would love to lose 50 lbs!!! No bread, sugar, pasta. Lots of fruit and vegetables, chicken for me. I don’t like fish. You give me hope! I just turned 70! I also have fibromyalgia, but I never let it control me! God bless you
What do you mean by 4 stones in weight ? Please tell me, thank you.
14lbs = 1 stone, so 14×4 = 56lbs
I am 30 plus pounds overweigh. I never thought I would be called obese, but here I am. Tried so many diets, could not stick to any of them. My marriage is suffering. Need help!
Amazing story. That is just how I feel at this time in my life. Your story really hits home. Thank you for sharing.

It was the hardest thing i could of ever done!
Watching my son die! This past 2 years with Covid restrictions has nearly driven me crazy! I have gained 40LB over Derek’s illness , loss and covid last 9 years! Not happy with my size . But have no motivation to loose the weight. I do not sleep well, and end up in bed till 2-2:30 pm every day!

I am 78 sleep problems since menopause. Without light therapy for even a day, I WAKE after 3-4 hours. Small lights are about 30-40$ on internet. NO computer or bright TV after 9pm. Melatonin ( timed release for me) & valerian. When pain or excitement, 1 green cold tablet no more than 5 days as it loses effectiveness. Due to bad knee, I have been on KETO for 4 years. Losing 45 lbs helped my asthma, chronic headaches, fatigue, and my joint pain. Most people think they can use Keto just to lose weight and to “cheat” socially. This results in Keto flu. I don’t cheat, but I have tried to eat just a bit more protein. Gained 5 lbs in one week. I am highly reactive to carbs but because I HATE unreasonable hunger, I limit them to 12-15 grams. I was 4 ft -110 lbs at 9 years. Have researched diets since then /never totally restrictive. THIS KETO works. There are many products online. Look up the sugars. I love being able to have one or two figs a day.
Please tell yourself you are worthy, whether you feel it or not ~ you’ve been through the hardest losses ~ You are loved
Hilda, your story is so very sad. Please do not think life is over for you. Horrible things have happened to you but you are worth saving! Get out and walk, look at God’s beauty, connect with others in church or a grief group or both. Know you are being prayed for. Gail
Boy do I understand what you have gone through. I lost my husband in 2002 and then my only child in 2007 both to cancer. I care for them both until the end and It was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. I also had a gastric sleeve surgery in 2018. It’s sounds like we have gone through a lot...

It’s sounds like we have gone through a lot of the same heartache.
I would love to be able to talk with you. I live in Nevada so lets try to connect. Not sure how we would be able to but maybe after we join maybe we can exchange emails.
Now about this website Health Insider… What is it about – losing weight after 70… Have you gotten any information on it.
I subscribed to it. So is that all I needed to do to get what is needed to lose weight
Read your post. Share half your story. Lost my son last year. Gastric sleeve surgery. Did well until recently in weight creeping back up. Love to chat if you have tips for losing wt after 70!
Yes! You two must get in touch. I can’t imagine how hard is to lose a kid and a husband. I send you two a hug from my heart.
I am waiting to hear from you
Carolyn, thank you for encouraging Hilda! I am sure it is reassuring to her for you to have reached out to her. I am so sorry for your losses as well. God does care for you and will see you through this. Gail
I am 80, I would like to loose 25 pounds.
I’ve been on a processed portion control well known diet for 4 months. Lost the 20 lbs which was my goal. Now I need a healthy plan to maintain my weight loss and eat clean and healthy foods.
Absolutely awesome
Very interesting.
I’m very optimistic
I am always glad for a bit of extra motivation.. I am having some success with a new practical plan that includes regular food tracking of what I eat and inspires good , wise choices of healthy food..
I need help to get my life back together.
I’m overweight and have no energy. Seventy-four of age, and really want to be healthy.
Thank you.
Wonderful reading!
Looking forward to starting this program
Hoping for success.
Hi
I would love to loose weight. It has not been easy. Would love to know how you did it
Based on my annual blood work my cholesterol was 202 but everything else was ok but I am 5.2 and weighed 195 lbs. In April I placed myself on intermittent fasting and without changing my diet started walking 5 miles 5 days a week and no eating after 6 pm. Today I am 181. moving along slowly. I feel great.

Based on my annual blood work my cholesterol was 202 but everything else was ok but I am 5.2 and weighed 195 lbs. In April I placed myself on intermittent fasting and without changing my diet started walking 5 miles 5 days a week and no eating after 6 pm. Today I am 181. moving along slowly. I feel great. I monitor and record my weight every Saturday. I imagine if I want to lose weight faster can decrease my food intake a little but have been losing 1 lb a week but feel great and not ever hungry. I congratulate all of you who have the discipline to make a change in your lives. God bless

As a nutritionist, I bought this expecting to see a generic meal plan. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Despite including all the food choices I selected during the quiz, the final meal plan they made for me in the app is very well thought out. I will try following this for a few weeks and see how I feel just to update...

Curious about this plan.
I’m interested to see what this diet involves
I too am 82. Can’t seem to avoid sweets.
I quit smoking 1/26/2020 and I have put on 18 lbs. I can’t handle feeling bloated all the time. I like my carbs. and sweets. I get the shakes if I fast.
Hi I am desperate to loose some weight as it would help my back problems. Thanks.
Wow, that is a good loss! Congratulations!

Hello Maxine please can you tell about intermittent fasting.
Hilda, at 65 you are still very young and have some great years ahead. Take care of yourself the way you have cared for others. Be that person for yourself. Make a plan. Small things. For only you.
I’m interested too.
What about stevia in moderation?
As someone who is closer to 80 than to 75, I never had a problem with weight — or general fitness for that matter, as the two go together. Yet in much of the world the problem is getting worse.

Yet in much of the world the problem is getting worse. The solution therefore has to be that is in reach of ANY person anywhere.
Food and rest and activity/play were never meant to be given too much thought. See children? When they are fed ordinary food and allowed to explore around and play they develop into fairly healthy and strong bodies.
As adults, when we eat more than we need or rest more than is good for us, then what is mostly the cause is losing the Reason to LIKE life as we did when we were children. For this we need a purpose in life that would want us to devote every hour of our life in activities that give us satisfaction to have worked toward that goal that will make you WANT to have energy to use for your life direction. THIS, my friend, is the key, the secret, that we gloss over when people ask those of us in shape ‘so how you keep yourself in shape?’
It snowed yesterday in Toronto. In my evening walk long after sunset, I gobbled the fallen snow resting on branches and felt the peculiar cracking sound beneath my feet. Your body moves unbidden, and it’s happy to eat simple whole foods mostly plants.
Wishing you good health!
