  • Another thing I can think of to suggest is: for those like us whose metabolism have slowed down, working out once a day is not as good as breaking it into 3 times (morning, noon, and evening).

  • What about your sleep and stress level? Not getting enough sleep will mess up your hormone even more. When stress level is high, so will be your blood cortisol level. My Dr. checked my cortisol level at 8am and 4pm on the same day. And the numbers were almost the same, which was BAD! The one at 4pm should drop to close to…

  • I sautee/stir-fry all kinds of veggies all the time. Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning is really great on EVERYTHING. When I am too lazy to chop up onion/garlic, I use powered onion/garlic. And I cook frozen veggies all the time. One simplest and our all time favorite is to microwave frozen broccoli (at least 10 minutes,…

  • Yes, it takes time to break a weight-loss plateau. The older you get and the slower your metabolism gets, the longer it takes. Your body is all about helping you survive and keeping you alive. I have lost and gained weight many times. When I was at your age, it took me about a week to start to see results. A couple of…
