45 and searching for diet

  • I tried and was successful with Atkins in my 30's but I can't seem to get the same results in my 40's. Any suggestions or anyone finding the same problem. Need solutions. Thanks
  • Hi Mouse...my only thought is simply the fact that as we get older our metabolisms slow down. I have no idea how much of an impact it has though. Speaking of metabolism, it will be higher with exercise. Did you exercise more back then?
  • I guess if I thought back on it I might have done more cardio. I'll add more of that in with my weight training and see if that helps. Thanks
  • This was only a suggestion...I could be wrong, but ya never know...lol. Good luck!
  • Hi Mouse! I turned 40 this year, and I'm getting back on the Atkins bus--I lost 50 pounds a few years ago on this plan and I wish I would have stuck with the lifestyle....But, here's to second chances!! I'm starting next week, but I'm getting the exercise down in the meantime. I think it's going to be more important, as SaskNewfie also mentioned.

    I'm also going to eat cleaner this time around--none of the shakes or bars. Good luck to ya!
