Eat Right and Light
A well balanced meal is recommended
which would include daily intake of foods from all the food groups. Whole grain
cereals will provide the required energy, milk products, chicken, fish, egg
& pulses will provide the desired amount of proteins, fruits and vegetables
are loaded with vitamins and minerals we need.
Try eating five to six small meals a day, and don’t go more than three or four hours without eating.
Your goal is the opposite of the starvation approach to dieting — you want to trick your body into feeling satisfied and well-fed at all times, though the total amount you’re eating is less.

Maintain your ideal body weight
When it comes to burning calories, it’s a fairly simple equation. What goes in must be burned off, or it sticks to our ribs. Acquiring weight is absurdly easy — eating just 100 extra calories a day (100 more than what your body burns) will lead to a nine- to ten-pound weight gain over the course of a year, experts say. How much is 100 calories? Not a lot: A can of Coke contains 155 calories, a chocolate bar more than 200. Of course, that cola or chocolate chip cookie is no problem if we’re walking or running it off. But after 40, our activity level tends to decline, too. So the challenge is to bring the two into balance. As we grow older our BMR slows down due to a loss in muscle tissue but also due to hormonal and neurological changes.

But if you are have tried
everything to burn the flab it would be advised to visit a Bariatric surgeon
and know more about Bariatric(Obesity) surgery, as this surgery can help you
not just lose weight but can also help you resolve your other Metabolic
problems such a Type II Diabetes, High blood pressure, sleep apnea and joint
pains etc.
Increase body and health awareness
We tend to over look our body’s early warning signals like sudden weight loss or gain feeling cold all the time or having hot flushes, poor circulation in the hands and feet, clammy hands, irregular urine flow, tiredness and lethargy, hair loss etc, but it is very vital for all to get a regular health check up done post 40 so that if we have any unidentified medical problems we can diagnose them and treat them timely. A body fat analysis is also recommended time to time, which will help you analysis the fat stores in the body and make you aware about your BMI( body mass index). We should believe that prevention is better than cure.
