Keeping track of your calories and sticking with healthy eating at least most of the time can help you avoid too much weight gain as you get older. Be realistic: As you get older, it will take longer to lose weight, so it helps to focus on the process getting your workouts in and eating as healthfully as possible.”But a major reason for middle aged weight gain is the natural muscle loss we all experience,” Dr. Apovian, the author of The Age-Defying Diet and.Instead, the weight gain is usually related to aging, as well as lifestyle and genetic factors.
For example, muscle mass typically diminishes with age, while fat increases. Losing muscle mass slows the rate at which your body uses calories (metabolism). This can.As we get older, we tend to gain weight — and not just because we’re less active. Instead, we lose muscle mass as we age, which lowers our body’s resting metabolic rate, Lauren Blake, a dietitian.
One of the first things you should do as a senior or elderly individual trying to gain weight is to eat more often. Aim for five or six small meals interspersed throughout the day, with none more.The real reason most people gain weight as they age is simple: they get less active over time. While this might sound depressing, there’s actually a lot you can do to counteract the seemingly.Simply by making a few gradual lifestyle changes, experts say, you can stop gaining weight and even drop some pounds.
There are several reasons most adults gradually gain weight. First, as you get.An expanding waistline is sometimes considered the price of getting older. For women, this can be especially true after menopause, when body fat tends to shift to the abdomen.
Yet an increase in belly fat does more than make it hard to zip up your jeans. Research shows that belly fat also carries serious health risks.The most obvious factors, diet and exercise, are often responsible for abdominal weight gain in older women. Consider ways that your eating habits and activity levels have changed over time. Have you slowed down the pace of your life recently?
Less physical activity means more calories are stored as fat.Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can raise cortisol levels and has been associated with increased food cravings and weight gain in studies.If this is maintained, you could gain several pounds a year, resulting in an ever-expanding waistline.
Your muscle mass also decreases as you get older and it plays a direct role in your metabolic rate, meaning your metabolism will slow down even more. As you hit middle age, it’s likely that your metabolism will start to slow down.Why We Gain Weight As We Age It starts sometime during our 50s and 60s: that belly bulge, those “extra” pounds we just can’t seem to shed. Part of it is simply the biology of our bodies.
Our.Weight train twice a week, either at home or at the gym, and do yoga or Pilates to trim that core. Visualize your reward. Close your eyes and see yourself without the bigger belly.
What do you.“You’re getting older.” That’s what the doctor said about weight gain. My friends didn’t take my weight gain seriously either. What do you say to a formerly-scrawny person gaining a few pounds? “@#$# #$&.” That’s what they said. But being at a good weight is important for good health.
Menopause-related weight gain is unavoidable but you can remedy the effects by exercising and eating a healthy diet. Exercising should be a moderate to intense cardio workout, for 30.

Never played football don’t have a baby and no good at golf I’m Fu@Ked
LOL! The baby’s hat makes him look a bit like Kim Jong-un… 😉
The pictures of you in your 30s vs. you in your 50s is the best motivator I’ve ever encountered bar none! Honestly, I’m still having a tough time believing it.
After talking to some of you in the comments I realized this is the video I should be recommending you to watch next. It is on how growth hormone and belly fat are connected and a study on how growth hormone increases and we lose weight; https://youtu.be/nDUOZofZ-Dw
I have switched 80% to a raw veggie plant based diet. It’s been about 3 weeks now. I have noticed that I am feeling a bit better and that my stomach has no issues with digestion or bloating. What type of diet plan do you recommend or follow? Thanks Lawrence!
Best 3:50 I’ve ever spent on YT so far. ♀️ Thank you!
Thank you for this video. As I edge closer to 40, I need to realize that it’s my relationship to food that is determinative of gaining weight. We have control of keeping “middle age spread” at bay-it’s not mysterious hormones that lead to this. I’d also like to report that I’m 1 month into my new weight-training program! I’ve changed my diet to reflect the macros required to grow muscle, and I’ve been going to the gym to lift weights (in accordance to your progressive schedule) about 4x a week, 2x upper (for 1.25 hours or so) and 2x lower (for 1 hour or so). Keeping to the muscle-growth macro diet has been the hardest part-being strict with food intake day in and day out is not fun (unlike the gym) so I’ve had a few cheat days already. Despite this, I have already seen a change-at least two people have noted that my face is thinner than when they saw me last in May/June. As I’m already on the thin side with just a little paunch and love-handles, and I walk a lot since I live in NYC, I haven’t incorporated any cardio into my workouts. But my weight has stayed constant. A skinnier face and constant weight to me indicates that I’m already replacing some fat with muscle. I went out last night with a friend to drink and dance, and noticed that I had A LOT more energy, even at 3:30 am, than I would normally have. And I woke up and didn’t have much of a hangover, whereas earlier I would’ve had pounding headaches and generally felt blah. I’m honestly pleasantly surprised that these beneficial changes are coming so quick. I was expecting months for this to show. I’m definitely hooked on this now! Thank you for showing the way, and for posting these great videos!
i just watch a episode of my 600lb life and i have no problems choking down some broccoli and hitting the gym
You burn up to 30% of the calories involved in a high protein food…expanding on the thermal portion of this video.
You can be ripped/shredded or lean well in to your 50”s! Facts!
great in depth video brother! im sure this was really helpful for a lot of older people!
Beautiful commentary! And it is true. I appreciate you sharing your story on the desire to spend more time with your son. The gym is the perfect place to do that! Great job, Laurence!
HOW CAN AN OLDER PERSON COMPETE WITH THE YOUNG?-SIMPLY CAN’T.
IMMENSELY MORE PEOPLE THAN ONE CAN IMAGINE ARE THE VERY FIT PEOPLE WORK OUT LIKE SUPERMAN OR SUPERWOMAN.
AS SOON AS ONE TURNS 30.
I CAN’T IMAGINE HOW HARD WEIGHT LOSS IS AFTER HAVING CHILDREN ALSO.
OFTEN IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT WEIGHT LOSS IS TWICE AS HARD AS YOU GET OLDER, BUT I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE FROM 9 TO 14 TIMES HARDER. PWW
That’s so interesting, thank you. Even post-meno, I’d no idea this would come into play. If we’d followed all the strategies of your previous video, cut portions and were eating 16:8, why might it STILL be impossible to lose weight and in fact be fighting a gain? Thank you
I much more active now and eating way better, but hormones plays a big role as we get older as well especially when it comes to belly fat.
I hate when fatties blame it on everything other than a shit diet and no exercise.
Simple Answer….
1) We don’t gain “Weight”….We gain “FAT”….that’s what is actually happening.
WHY?
2) Because we are LOSING MUSCLE though Sarcopenia and the resulting Atrophy.
oh i’d love a part 2/3. girl all of these look great on you!
I’m in construction and still have a weight problem. I think it may be because i use KFC as my reward dinner after work. (only half joking)
This came at the right time. I am active and go to the gym 6 days a week, been watching what I eat and doing more cardio and I gained 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks lol. I must be doing something wrong.
Holy cr*p! You look much better now than you did in your 40s I could barely recognise you. Great video mate, we’re always trying to make sure we sit and eat as a family.
Awesome video, really. The body development of men and the reasons-
So that you can prepare yourself well done.
By the way my age is 38 and i have a better formed body than with 28because of a lake of these information in the past.
So I finally can underline every reason in this video
Well research bro
I’m actually more active now than i was in my 20’s. Moving more and better food choices helps a great deal!
This is a very grounded, positive channel. You look so much healthier now than in that photo of you in your 30s! I admire and appreciate anyone who puts positive vibes out in to the world, so respect to you sir.
Wow this is inspiring… I’m still in my 20s but it motivates me to start/ keep working out regularly! Keep up the good work:)
What advice would you have for a 58-year-old male (172 pounds at 5’8) Who wants to lose about 15 pounds of fat or two large handfuls of fat around his waist, who weight trains 3 to 4 times per week, eats approximately 2200 cal a day of 90% whole foods and is still gaining about 2.5 pounds of fat a month. Even eating 2200 calories per day I am still pretty hungry, yet, even taking into account the calories I’m burning with the weekly workouts and whole foods diet, I’m still gaining fat. Thank you for taking the time to help. Peace, Daniel, California.
Lawrence, you’re always finding a way to inspire me. Thank you for everything you do here. You’re straight teaching facts my friend
As a man who played Football (Soccer) at a high competitive level for the best part of 17 years I can relate to everything this video has to offer. I had to retire at the age of 33 after ripping my MCL, soon after my son was born….. from here after my weight gain has been embarrassing to say the least
Another great video. Seeing you in your 30s is very inspiring and shows us what can be achieved in middle age. I am a massive advocate of mindfulness following a breakdown over 10 years ago. For the first time I was able to be “selfish” about my need for fitness in my life. I think many family men feel guilty going to the gym. The wife may not be understanding especially when she feels stuck at home slaving in the kitchen and looking after the kids etc. etc. My advice would be for BOTH man and wife to find the time in their lives to look after their bodies and their health. Sure you will look better, but you will feel better in so many ways mentally and physically and hopefully prolong your life at the same time! Due to my breakdown I was able to say “I HAVE to go to the gym for medical reasons”. I was able to go with a clear consiounce which I dont think I was able to do before that. Ever since that moment I have been training hard. Only recently have I started to focus on the cardio side. I used to go to the gym 3 times a week for an all over body workout. My big development however is I now try and go 5 days a week when possible (which I do most of the time) with 1 hour cardio (600+ calories) plus 30 minutes ish of weights (I do the weights first). I cover 3 main excercises where I used to do 6. The massive benefit is by only doing 3 excercise groups over 30 minutes my intensity per excercise is greater than ever. I can throw myself into every excercise not worrying about having to conserve myself for the next half hour of traing. Then I sit on my bike in the gym…. whilst answering business emails, talking on my live chat, playing golf!!!! Its brilliant! By the end of the session I have burnt at least 800 calories My body has been worked hard. Heart, lungs and muscles all stretched. Its an amazing feeling and definitely helps balance the books so to speak calories wise. If anyone is self employed out there you will be amazed at how much work you CAN get done when on a bike. Thanks as always.
This dip shit can’t get off the intermittent fasting fad. Guys, don’t fast if you’re an actual athlete. This will sincerely hurt your performance. Especially if you’re any kind of endurance athlete.
U forget to say u drive for doing thing gone away cause of testosterone..less testosterone less going to go for girl..less attraction to girl..boom fat gain..in 1600 year..ppl die at 30 to 45..only few ppl reach to there 70..human can’t alive more than 40s…if we don’t have medicine… infection will kill u..listen to me…after 30 u are old..girl lose fertility…after 30 u life is end..what u live after 30 is what the medicine gave u to live…more life….don’t tell me..u never get in ur entire life..I would say human live only 25.after 25 we are just against nature…so we have to suffering for diseases what nature made us for it….u 30 u enjoy the fully..now if u go fat or what.30 is so old..just u have to believe it..30 year is age of human life span.. einstein* if u have to do something before age of 30*..he knows that’s we die at 30..it’s just medicine…or food with less infection process……how many time I have to say.ur youth end at 22..18 to 22.. childhood life..10 to 18…and 1 to 10..look at how far u alive.u want ti alive more..give up..duh.and except the fact that u are old if u are 30..!
Men are not fat only fat women are fat.
……………. Peter Griffin
It’s such a sad reality we live in when ppl shame u for eating heathy and working out because it’s so out of norm and eating processed foods and being sedentary is seen as normal. At least where I am. Then they complain and do nothing about it. Pfft
I’m turning 38 this August and I’m in better shape now, than when I was 28.
Got married, gained a ton of weight, have kids, health went downhill. I was 175 lbs then and went up to 235 lbs. That’s 60 lbs worth of dad bod! I was a waist 32 then and went up to waist 38. So last year I started to make a difference in my health to be more active. Went to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, HIIT for 30 to 45 min., Intermittent fast, one meal a day, keto diet, went down to a size 34 pants, and went down to 200lbs. Still alot of work to do
I love this video so much. Soooo many people lazily blame their metabolism slowing down when they have no clue what they’re talking about. They just eat too much and move too little.
I know what you can help me with. Does this make any sense? I’m working out regularly I have been eating better with more protein and less calories and I have been gaining a few pounds….. yesterday, pissed off, I had pancakes sausage eggs grits syrup and for lunch I had wings at a restaurant, I weighed myself this morning and I lost a pound. Does this also make sense?
You’re so right about feeling more confident in clothes that fit, I’ve just started selling all my clothes that don’t fit, and getting rid of them is so liberating! Loved the vid as always, hope you have a lovely week x
I eat about 2 pounds 80/20 ground beef and small amounts of fresh vegetables with butter and take supplements a day, one meal per 24 hours
This is so true. I’m far more active now and look better than I did in my early 20s.
Sylvester Stallone is in his 70’s and looks better than most 30 year olds smh…
I like the fact that you have all your back up sources links in the comments.
Love this!!! I definitely need to do this too although I honestly want to wait until I’m in a proper groove of life to know where my body really wants to sit!
Do you want to stay fit after 30?=keep working out and eating well.PERIOD.
How bout because most men become pathetic, carb loading undisciplined lazy fucks!
When I was born I was 7lbs 6 oz… now Im 201….Man, I really let myself go☹️
Just turned 29 2 kids 3rd on the way workout 5 days a week. My body fat % is around 9%. Dont stop moving!
Thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful and informative.
you know what’s funny? my friend says to me, you only live once. you never know when your last day will be. you can be the most healthiest person and then get killed by a drunk driver or choke on a food. he says live life to the fullest!
Good video Larry….I am a distracted eater…I watch youtube or something while I eat! I need to be exercising more & do it at set times.
“Good Video!” (he types while lying down on the couch…) 😉
well, Americans do not know what healthy way of life really is. I cannot really blame them for that, cause they get bombarded by so many marketing tricks that are actually 100% addiction based instead of diet based. I am from Greece, and we know what healthy lifestyle really is…
For Americans, it is a never ending cycle cause parents are not able to teach their kids on a young age how to eat properly…….. No wonder why obesity thrives there….
It has been 6 years since I have sleeping disorder, I lost weight, gained muscles and eating healthy just because I want to, and just because I can’t find the reason of the disorder!
I am from Bangladesh.
Make a separate diet program for people living in southeast Asia.
Such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Shri Lanka etc.
Our usual diet includes rice mostly which becomes a problem to follow diet like yours.
I’ve been following your videos for quite a long time, hope you’ll consider about it.
Good wishes for you and your channel. ♥
Please you forgot Bloating belly. i mean dont talk about belly fat im taking you are not overweight but you have bloating belly
My fat ass, hating ass peers always say, “just wait until you’re 30”. Shiiiit, I’m not having kids and getting married just because like ya’ll.
Soo basically working out and a good sleep is the fountain of youth…..got it.
I just finished eating a piece of cake because i’m on vacation and now i feel discusted of myself
This hormonal balance is so frustrating. I’m post menopausal and still carrying around this infuriating spare tire around the middle. Difficult to find clothes that fit right or look flattering. I’m trying to keep my portions smaller and eating plenty of fruit and vegetables. Do I have to give up sugar entirely?! Difficult when my husband keeps bringing home candy and cookies!
I’m 36 black and British and I work out 7 times a week. I lift weighs 3 times week stretching and cardio plus I do 4 classes including; Zumba, Yoga, Pilates and Box fit. I am fitter now then I was 10 years ago. Fuck working in an office! I might become a zumba teacher!
I started a channel now.. It’s not easy to talk about weight loss and you are a great inspiration for me who wants to visit and I will be very honored..!!✔
I have probably made this comment before, I wish I had known this years ago. Now I am 54 and working hard at reversing the weight gain, that happened during the last 4 or 5 years. The good news is, I am seeing results and feeling good about the future. So thankful for all the information out there nowadays. You make it so easy to understand as well! Thanks, Dr. Becky!
for me personally it’s backwards… with the years passing by i get more knowledgeable gain more information about tons of different stuff connected to diet, nutrition, exercise etc…
Physiological; also, if you’re one of the Triarii, and running away isn’t your thing, a bit of weight is an advantage. ” Rem ad Triairos Redisse”. Velites young and mobile, skirmishers; Hastati young and strong, good enough for melee, first line of defence; Principes in the prime of life, second line of defence; Triarii too fat to run away, ha!
Best shape of my life in my 30s was about 280 now 175 to 185
That plant in the background appears leaner and more muscular with time!
Can you do a video about how hormonal effect ur body and the level you need to be at in your with your hormones
This was so wholesome and I really appreciate your humour and happy vibe. From someone who has promised to wear my coat all summer out of fear of showing my body, this helped so much. You genuineness is so rare and I loved this video so much. Subscribed. Thank you for sharing!
I don’t understand what’s so hard about losing weight!!
Just cut your non dominant arm
This short video was so clear and concise!! Love the education!
Well I’m 34 and currently I’m in the best shape of my life… Age is just a number and it’s just an excuse that lazy people use
Pls, tell me why I have hot flushes for almost 10years now?!? I’m just 3kg over my ideal weight, I stopped the sugar for the last 3years, I’m not a big meat eater. I eat very close to the 123 program. I walk an hour for work and do a lot of up and down the steps at home because of my dog…I like exercise. I do interm. fasting and twice per year 20 days fast. My doctor do not give me hormones because of cancer in my family…ok, but I cannot sleep properly at night because of the HFs!! Any advise? Thank you.
Just started watching your channel sir
Brilliant and very interesting
You nailed it man. I was just talking about this with a client last week who asked why it’s easier to gain weight when we’re older. My response was ‘lifestyle’… and that it’s just as easy to gain weight as a kid. There are way too many overweight kids right now, in part because parents of today aren’t controlling their kids food intake as our parents did. Also, kids today aren’t as active as we were when we were younger.
Menopause and hypothyroidism….Now thats a challenge!!..Thank you Dr Becky,for all that you share
People say I can’t do what I can when I was young is just excuses age is just a number
I love this video! you’re so positive. I’m trying to part with things currently, and I’d love to see more decluttterung videos.
this is amazing I can’t believe how connected my life is with you right now I am witnessing to a dear friend who just went on hormones treatments I can’t remember how old she is but I’ve been trying to reach her for keto or your 1 2 3 diet that you have I think she would probably go for that over keto thank you so much.
Bro this is the best video ever I always knew this was right…I’m 33 great motivation video now
Since I hit menopause I have a pouch never did before, it’s frustrating
thanks for the inspiration, I needed this. Watched you doing it while doing it myself. I now have a big bag of clothes now ready to go to the donation centre. I still have more to do, because turns out I have a ton of clothes. Keep making these videos please:)
The testosterone just starts to drop. For those under 30 try to build as much muscle as possible.
You went from overweight in your 30s to super hot in your 50s!
I was the same when I was younger we always sat at the table for meals but your right we’ve become a age of people that eat a hell of a lot of convenience food Laurence getting back to structured meals times would help a lot of people get back on track with managing there weight MINT
Hi. You look and sound so confident and professional but mainly, so soft and kind and empathetic
What is your ‘real life’ job??
Xx
I would love to see a part 2/3. Getting rid of things that don’t fit is so so hard for me and it’s great to see you do it with such a good attitude!
…all true, I´m 35 this year (lean 94 kg´s) and look better then in my 21 age… (bulky 68 kg´s) and feel better. I workout FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME from my 19 age and that´s the key I think… keep konsistent
Thank you for sharing this with us! Getting rid of old clothes can be really hard <3
I also did this! Felt so liberating to be free of uncomfortable, tight clothes ❤️
I found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching your videos ever since. As someone who has been through an eating disorder and disordered eating for 6+ years, you have no idea how much this channel has helped already. I had my first guilt free desert yesterday in almost a whole decade!
