Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Losing weight can be a challenge in old age and diet and lifestyle perversions recently in guise of chocolate fudges and binge eatings have worsened the scenario.
Losing weight always start with exercise. Followed by reducing caloric intake to at least 2000 calories a day. More consumption and less intake is the main key aspect of every recommended weight loss program. Weight loss should be slow and steady. No more than 2 to 3 pounds in a week, 30 pounds loss in 12 weeks is maximum recommended at a time.
Use different measures to reduce satiety. Drink cold water before every meal. Adapt good rehab techniques like going out frequent, having a daily routine, remedies for depression etc.
Sign up to an FDA approved weight loss program and let them help you in this regard further. Stay away from these cheap publicity stunts of claiming a dramatic weight loss, all these are scams and are more harmful that of use.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
