Same goes for older people in general. Is it harder to lose weight because they simply move less? What’s happening that makes weight loss so much harder in 30s and above?
In: Biology
Even if you are well-versed in weight loss, even if you know calories by heart, even if you run and weight-train, even if you’ve tried every diet, for some ungodly reason, it’s not difficult to lose weight over, say, age 50, it’s damn near impossible.
Mother nature protects women in old age, we need fewer calories to maintain weight. A LOT fewer, which is great if you’re a hunter-gatherer, not so much in 2024.
