The older we get, the harder it is to maintain healthy
body composition. You can have the perfect diet and still struggle with staying
lean. Sometimes this can be correlated with hormonal changes as we age. Your
best strategy is to first be super strict with your food plan. You may think
you are being strict but slight deviations can add up over time. An older metabolism
doesn’t give much slack and can make it difficult for you to spring back into
shape.
Before you give up on your food plan, give yourself an honest assessment to determine if you really have been sticking to the program. The best way to do this is to keep yourself accountable by food journaling. This is what I kind of do here on my blog. However, I’m simply sharing my food plan as a template for you to plug and play with. I don’t need to keep track of everything I eat every day because I stick to my plan like glue.
For you to reach
my level of commitment and discipline it’s a good idea to write down everything
you eat each day and then evaluate your eating patterns at the end of the week.
I always recommend eating the same thing every day because it makes life a lot
easier. But some people need more variety in their food plan. With diverse
eating creates unpredictable outcomes, so keeping track of a food journal
keeps you accountable.
You should also do this with your exercise plan. Me, I’ve been working out for over 40 years now, and I have an excellent memory, so I’m able to remember every workout I have done previously. My exercise journal is in my head. Many people can’t remember like this and it’s better just to write everything down.
This is like conducting your own scientific experiment on yourself. You stick to an exercise and food plan over a given period and then assess the outcomes. Assessments need outcomes to measure. Your outcome measurements can be repetitions, sets, resistance, or an overall decrease in body fat percentage. You can also measure frequency, intensity, mood, and many other variables.
Outcome measures allow you to collect data and help
identify deficiencies in your performance. Based on your data and outcome goals, you can then develop an improvement
plan, make the changes, and continue to measure performance. Just remember: Plan,
Act, Track, and Review. Repeat this process until you are happy with your
results.
