Hello Doctor,
I'm in my 40s and considering intermittent fasting for weight loss. What's the most suitable approach given my age, diet, and daily routine? How can I make sure I still get all the essential nutrients and effectively support my weight loss goals?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Fasting Plan: The recommended fasting plan for your age group is fasting for two days per week, ideally on Mondays and Thursdays.
Energy Management: This approach allows you to have enough energy to meet your daily needs while also supporting your weight loss goals.
Daily Exercise: Incorporate daily exercise, including on fasting days. Aim for at least 30 minutes of walking each day to enhance the effectiveness of your fasting plan.
Fresh Air and Sleep: Ensure you get plenty of fresh air and prioritize getting enough quality sleep, as these factors can positively impact your weight loss efforts.
Nutrient-Rich Diet: Increase your consumption of fruits and legumes to support your overall health.
Hydration: Stay well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water every day, including on fasting days.
These recommendations are designed to help you achieve your weight loss goals while considering your age, diet, and daily routine.
