    It will take time. Keep doing what you are upto for now. Just to add, you can try to make some changes in your dinner. I went from 163 pounds to 140 pounds just by making changes in my dinner. I opted for a diet that is enriched with therapeutic herbs and spices such as Ashwagandha, Gotu kola, Turmeric etc. I found on iahas.com and that has really helped me, especially if I eat it 2 hours before my bedtime. So yes dinner is the most important food of the day and taking it early and light help you accelerate weight loss

    By far, my greatest success at losing weight and more importantly, keeping it off, was adopting a vegan/plant-based diet. 💡

    Wouldn't work for everyone, specially elderly overweight.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 433 ✭✭GoogleBot


    For average person after 40s eating 10-12 hours before bed is the most beneficial.

    "It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes."

    Agree with that. However two things we should address.

    As we age bile and enzyme production declines as result many elderly people suffering from malnutrition despite having adequate diet.

    Most vitamins in vegetables are precursors and have to be activated by enzymes before being available and since elderly people already suffering with enzymes and bile decline I don't see how vegetarian diet alone can fulfill nutritional demands.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,071 ✭✭✭Worztron


    But it does say "These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle...". Perhaps supplements or other measure can be taken to deal with any bile/enzyme issue?

    We are talking about elderly overweight right?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 433 ✭✭GoogleBot


    So you only accept vegetarian diet as benchmark and everything else should be dealt with supplements and what not?

    Wondering if supplements are food based where did they come from?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 408 ✭✭KurtBarlow


    How many calories are you actually eating ? you said less than 2000 well 1950 is too much food for you especially if your very over weight . Post up a typical days eating for you



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,071 ✭✭✭Worztron


    Well in the context of my quote, no. But given that this a weight loss thread, sure, take it as ow elderly folk.

    I'd be more in favor of a vegan diet. I just put it out there if supplements could solve the bile/enzyme in older folk. We can agree to disagree by all means. The supplements would be synthetically-based, I presume.

    Syntethic versions have side effects. And I am not sure at older age you want to experiment with anything. Unfortunately most commercially grown veg lower nutrient dence due to soil depletion.

    Yes, the eat less and do more methods work great 😉 and they’re free!

    People with slow metabolism usually complain about not losing weight. My mom also had slow metabolism and constipation problems due to which she was not burning body fat. So, after the suggestion of the dietitian, she enhanced her water intake and started taking dietary fibre Psyllium husk with one spoon of olive oil. She is regularly following this method and lost many pounds.

    By the way, some other quick ways to lose weight could be supplements. Instead of non approved ones, you should prefer the herbal and approved ones. I found Exipure a good option after reading this https://www.chron.com/market/article/exipure-16911852.php but again, don't do anything without the approval of your GP and dietitians because the physical condition of different people varies. You should also look at the common issues due to which people don't lose weight.

    Likewise, you are not taking enough protein or calories, not lifting weight, still drinking sugar and much more. Probably, you can explore several other reasons here https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/20-reasons-you-are-not-losing-weight# but I again strongly recommend taking professional advice first.

    You would get clearer advice if you posted what you are eating on a typical day most of us generally underestimate what we are eating when the subject of weight loss comes up .
