Healthy eating is the basis of weight loss after 40.

In your diet, you can never run out of vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean protein.
Be very consistent in terms of unhealthy foods. Eliminate unhealthy fats from the diet, purified flour, white sugar, sweets and artificial, processed products.
Buy only wholesome food: brown rice, whole wheat pasta, oil of good quality, cereal and other untreated and untreated artificial processed foods. They are more nutrients are more filling and contain more nutrients.
Avoid juices cartons. If you want to drink the juice, squeeze them alone with vegetables, but an even better solution is to use a blender to prepare cocktails. You can add them to fruit, vegetables, Greek yogurt, milk. Dietary cocktails are filling, provide plenty of vitamins, fiber and low in calories. It is hard for better meals and snacks during weight loss. Besides, always better to eat the whole fruit than drink the juice squeezed out of it.
If you reach for food rich in fat, make sure that it becomes an entire meal. Remember that fatty foods are more filling, so Eat smaller portions.
For example, if you intend to eat a steak, you can add to it the only salad and nothing else.
If you succumb to the temptation and you're buying chips (do not do it!) - May be the only meal (must be accompanied by the salad) - already do not add hot dogs and hamburgers.
If you reach for nuts or pistachios - may be a wholesome snack, after which no longer eat anything for the next meal.
The main ingredient of each dish should be a salad or vegetables. Even if you do sandwiches - that vegetables should form the largest part.
Avoid fatty foods and ready-made salad dressings. Love olive oil, vinaigrette, and apple cider vinegar.

Eat as much as you need - no more.

You do not have the right to count calories - is frustrating and although it can and effective - in the long run quickly lead you to an obsession than a dream figure. However, it should know how many calories you need each day and plan meals so that this number is not exceeded.
Keep a log of weight loss for several days, and soon you find out where it comes from excess calories in your diet. Perhaps these are sweetened beverages, perhaps too calorie snacks. Awareness of what is sabotaging your weight loss can be extremely helpful.
Read labels - but pay attention not only to the calorie content of food, but also harmful coloring agents, preservatives, and unhealthy fats. Search vitamins, nutrients and healthy fats.
Avoid light products or products with reduced fat content. Usually "catching up" with sugar or artificial sweeteners. It is better to eat a smaller amount of calories, but healthy Greek yogurt, than a large plastic cup artificially sweetened yogurt light. The same applies to other products, such as milk (1.5% is a better choice than the 3.2 and 0.0%), cheese, etc.
Find the most calorie products in your menu and replace them with less calorie, healthier counterparts.
If you often do you eat fatty meats and meat - start reducing them and substitute lean poultry.
You eat colorful, sweet yogurt? Finish with them and choose natural yogurt with fresh fruit.
Will consume too much bread (contrary to appearances, crisp bread also can be very caloric!) - Start to reduce them still adorn vegetables and fruits that you eat less of it. To remember that it should always be whole grains.

Once you have the opportunity, move outdoors. Proper oxygenation has an impact on metabolism, for your appearance, well-being and health.
