Weight loss or gain? #8153117 06/11/24 09:36 AM 06/11/24 09:36 AM

I think it's just as much of a curse as not being able to loose weight. I've experienced some age-related weight loss and I'm trying to get it back. I'll be sixty-five in November. I bought an accurate digital scale a month ago, weighed myself and recorded the number. Over the course of the month I've been forcing myself to eat, even when I don't feel like it. Healthy food generally speaking, high in calories and protein. I weighed myself a couple days ago and after a month of stuffing as much fattening food down my throat as I could eat, the scales read the exact same weight as I started at. To the 10th of a pound.

They are not very good, but I work one one one with patients in the hospital and we have a long term care unit, that's the first thing we do is add ensure to a patient that's shows weight loss, usually start by adding in between meals, than if more is needed adding during meals. There are more than ensure just what we have on contract and we supply. Not too bad if you add to ice cream and make a shake. We also have a high calorie super cereal.

High protein diet eggs, and meat and working to build muscle. Building muscle is more difficult the older you get with testosterone levels being lower than when we were younger.

I think there are several reasons as follows. I retired in 2022 so I don't spend all day at a desk , I'm much more active now than I was when I worked and I eat healthier than I I used to. I was concerned about the loss so I talked to my doctor during my last physical. He told me that you're not supposed to be fat and all your bloodwork is fine so don't stress over it. 57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

Our main one we use is ensure enlive has a higher cal and protein intake. I know my mother inlaw who doesn't have a stomach uses ensure max, to help keep weight on and give her vitamin thats she needs.. more protein you get, the worse tasting the drink will be.

That sugar is is floating around in your blood stream and is then its either burned as energy or stored as fat if not burned for energy. You must be not eating much or you're working too hard. I would say if your eating healthy and exercising, consider yourself lucky to eat what you want and stay the same weight. It might be your ideal weigh for your age.

I can only work or exercise at a certain level, get tired really easily. Everyone else is trying to lose weight and I just want to get back to having some muscle mass. I hated protein shakes, the only thing I really crave is a good steak and then struggle to eat it all. Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
