What to Eat During the Day to Support Weight Loss (Especially After 50)

As we get older, losing weight can become more challenging. Metabolism slows down, and the body responds differently to food. Still, with simple and consistent habits, balance is absolutely possible.

Despite working on a second cookbook dedicated to baking and desserts (Vivian Is Baking), it’s important to remember that sweets are life’s pleasures, but best enjoyed in moderation. So my first cookbook, Vivian is Cooking GREEK, seems the perfect companion towards this goal.

I used AI to help structure these ideas, useful as inspiration, but always check with your physician or a nutritionist for personal advice.

☀️ Daily structure

Breakfast:
Greek yogurt, eggs, or oats
👉 Focus on protein and healthy fats

Lunch:
Vegetables + protein + small portion of carbs + olive oil

Snack (if needed):
Fruit, nuts, or a small piece of dark chocolate

Dinner:
Light meal: soup, salad, or cooked vegetables with protein


💡 Key habits

  • Eat whole, minimally processed foods
  • Include protein in every meal
  • Avoid constant snacking
  • Stay active (walking + light strength exercise)

Weight management is about balance, consistency, and quality, not restriction.

Small habits, long-term results 🤍
