Metabolism often slows, and the body tends to lose muscle mass more readily, a process known as sarcopenia. For those aiming to shed pounds, focusing on protein intake becomes particularly important. Adequate protein helps preserve muscle during calorie restriction, supports satiety, and can positively influence metabolic rate, making it a cornerstone of effective and sustainable weight management in midlife and beyond. This guide explores why protein is crucial for weight loss after 40 and practical strategies for incorporating it into your diet.</p>
