I realize that women are much more conscious about their weight than men are. Although it is a predominant situation in our society, I had an epiphany recently that resulted from my research of top weight loss blogging websites. The lists were dominated by women in 2013 and then again in 2015. It’s time to explore this topic. The rules of society are very simple, men expect more of woman than they expect of themselves. Women are supposed to look gorgeous, be ready in five minutes, and look the other way even though their man isn’t meeting the same expectations.…

My last article in this series about losing weight after 50 is about hitting a plateau. You will eventually hit a plateau with any fitness effort. It is inevitable. It can happen in your weight loss, muscle growth, or just in the number of repetitions or the amount of weight you can handle in the gym. You are human and you eventually reach your capacity. Three things can happen when you hit a plateau. You can find a way to increase, remain at the same level, or even digress. It all depends on you. There is nothing wrong with a…

With the onset of the New Year, no doubt one of the expectations is to lose weight. If this is to happen, you need to set reasonable expectations. Otherwise, you will most likely fail and give up the effort. The first thing that you must realize is that the weight gain didn’t happen overnight. It took time. It’s going to take time to lose the weight just like it took time to put it on. If you ask me about expectations I would tell you that I try not to have them. If I don’t have expectations, I won’t be…

Article four of my five article series on losing weight after 50 years old is about eating certain foods and drinking alcohol. You won’t believe what I ate to lose 60 pounds. Here’s the list of the main diet: Eggs Bacon Cheese sticks Chicken wings Hamburgers Chicken Fish As you can see, I was on a low carbohydrate (low-carb) diet. The important thing was that I was rarely hungry. I always felt full. There were maybe two days that I felt famished. Other than that, my mind was free of the pain of hunger which allowed me to focus on…

I am sharing my success with you on my transition from being overweight to sporting a fit body.

Article three of my five article series on losing weight after 50 is about activities. Although activities include exercise, I hate the word “exercise” due to its image. It makes me envision the warm ups before football practice or perhaps structured workouts inside a dank gym class while growing up in the northeast. My current activities are anything but these undesirable remnants of my past. Instead, my activities are enjoyable and something I look forward too. They have to be desirable if I am to maintain a fit lifestyle. Although some of my activities require additional incentive, they are still…

My name is Scott Deuty and I’m a real life weight loss success story. I was a former fat guy who lost 60 pounds in 8 months without running a single step and I’m 52 years old. A lot of people say it’s virtually impossible to lose weight over the age of 50, but I’m a living example that it’s possible. With a few changes to your diet and by adding a muscle building weight training program into your routine, you can also achieve amazing results. One of the most important things is to make the entire process fun, exciting and…
