With that said, losing weight after 40 for males is more challenging compared to females. There is so much research that has been done on weight loss for older women compared to older men. You search the internet, and you will find so many results for specialized diet plans, workout plans, and even lifestyle habits for women over 40 and so little for men of the same age. It is therefore hard for men to find accurate information to support their weight loss journey.

When you get older, things tend to become a little bit different. You might even be eating healthier compared to what you were eating in your 20s, you could be going to the gym almost every day, you could be drinking only one glass of wine after dinner, you could be sleeping for 8 hours or more, but still, you keep gaining weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this can be attributed to many factors like loss of muscle mass over time, hormones, slowing down of your <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/six-meals-a-day\/\">metabolism<\/a> as you get older, lifestyle, the food you eat, sleeping habits, how your body stores fat, and so many other factors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this might make you feel like asking, what is really the need of losing weight in your 40s. Can\u2019t you just stick to your habits and enjoy life? Well, if you don\u2019t take care of yourself, it might become challenging to enjoy life as much The need to lose weight after 40 comes from the fact that men actually have a shorter life expectancy than women, and you don\u2019t want to reduce it even more by being overweight or obese. That is not all. Men between the age of 45-55 are twice as likely to have a cardiovascular condition. This likeliness keeps rising as you get older, and at 55, it is three times more likely. Being obese or overweight increases your chances of developing heart disease.

On average, men can lose somewhere between 3% and 5% of their muscle mass every decade. It is easy for you to lose your <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/2000-calorie-meal-plan-bodybuilding\/\">muscle mass<\/a> as you get older because, for many reasons, you are not as active when you are 40 as you used to be while in your 20s. Apart from being active, now that you are older, there are so many things competing for your energy and time. There is your family, work, and other responsibilities. This makes working out harder as you don\u2019t have time and energy. If you can maintain your muscles or regain them, you can promote weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does that work? You ask. Muscle tissues burn more calories than <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/cutting-diet-plan\/\">fat mass<\/a>. The more muscles you have, the more calories you lose. Now, since you are losing muscles as you grow old, it means you are also burning less and fewer calories as you get older. A good place to start is to do regular strength and resistance training exercises. These exercises will help you build strength and hence burn more calories leading to weight loss. You have to remember that since you are not as young and as flexible as you used to be, you should ease yourself into these strength training exercises. It is also advisable to consult an expert before joining any strength training exercise program as they know the best exercises for you. Working out the major muscle groups at least 2 to 3 times a week is a nice way to start.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cut_Your_Alcohol_Consumption\"><\/span><b>Cut Your Alcohol Consumption\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You remember when you used to drink every day of the week, the late nights at your local bar, singing \u2018Forever Young\u2019, well those days might be long gone now. When you get older, you reduce your alcohol consumption, so you will be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/probiotics-for-weight-loss\/\">lose weight<\/a>. One reason you should cut your alcohol consumption is that alcohol contains calories. Every day there is a total number of calories your body requires and you take in extra calories when you drink. These extra calories are stored as fat, hence promoting weight gain. On average, people take 400-500 more calories on days they drink (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/health-fitness\/7-weight-diet-loss-tips-men-over-40\/\">1<\/a>).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from the extra calories that come from drinking, alcohol strains major organs of your body. A good example is a liver. The liver is responsible for processing fats, and drinking too much alcohol will make it hard for it to do so. Alcohol consumption also comes with an influx of your appetite; the more you eat, the higher your chances of gaining weight. If you want to lose weight, it would be best if you stopped drinking, if not stopping, you could at least keep it at two drinks per week (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/health\/how-lose-weight-after-40-6-new-habits-start-now-t111214\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated?flow=1500&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Losing_Weight_After_40_Male\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33444 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4797-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Losing Weight After 40 Male\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4797.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4797-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4797.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4797.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_More_Fruits_And_Vegetables_To_Your_Diet\"><\/span><b>Add More Fruits And Vegetables To Your Diet\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies show that people who follow <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/plant-based-diet-meal-plan\/\">plant-based diets<\/a> have lower body mass indexes (BMI) compared to people who eat meat.

This leads to you eating more calories than your daily energy requirements, hence promoting weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated?flow=1500&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Losing_Weight_After_40_Male\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33399 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4900-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Losing Weight After 40 Male\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4900.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4900-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4900.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4900.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aerobic_Training\"><\/span><b>Aerobic Training<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a good way to lose weight. <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/aerobic-exercise-at-home\/\">Aerobic exercises<\/a> get your heart pumping and help you burn calories (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellfit.com\/weight-loss-tips-for-men-over-40-3495586\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Aerobic exercises are so easy that you don\u2019t need to enroll in the gym just to do a run, skip, climb a flight of stairs, and all that. Remember that in order to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you consume.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_More_Proteins\"><\/span><b>Eat More Proteins\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we highlighted earlier, the older you get, the more muscle mass you lose. Proteins help in building muscles, and upping your protein intake might work to prevent loss of muscle mass or help you regain lost muscle mass (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/health-fitness\/7-weight-diet-loss-tips-men-over-40\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Count_Your_Calories\"><\/span><b>Count Your Calories\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know it is not easy to count calories for each meal you eat, but it is advisable to do so. First, you need to know your basal metabolic rate (BMR). This is the number of calories your body uses, or needs, to function at rest. Different factors influence your BMR\u2014 factors like your weight, age, gender, height, lifestyle, among others. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you know your BMR, it is easy to know how many calories you need to consume so that you can maintain your current weight. If you eat more calories than that number, it could result in weight gain (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/health-fitness\/7-weight-diet-loss-tips-men-over-40\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Naturally, if you eat fewer calories than that number, it would result in you losing weight. If you want to lose weight healthily, it is recommended to reduce your daily calorie intake by 500 calories a day. This will result in 3500 calories in a week, which equals 1 pound of fat. The recommended amount of weight you should lose is 1 to 2 pounds a week. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_Less_Processed_Foods\"><\/span><b>Eat Less Processed Foods\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Processed foods contain unhealthy fats and added sugar that is not recommended if you are on a weight loss journey.

With that said, make sure you get most of your daily calories from your breakfast and lunch when you are most active and hence able to burn those calories. At night you are less active.
