There are a number of reasons:
- Older people are generally less active.
- They stop going outside to play, but they keep eating the same amount of (or more) food.
- Many work sitting at a desk for 8-10 hours a day
- Inactivity leads to reduced lean body mass (less muscle). Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat. So you don't want to lose that muscle - get active!
- Injury may prevent exercise.
- They eat too much.
- They eat too much.
- Metabolism may slow down.
- They eat too much.
A simple fix is to eat less to offset the reduced calorie expenditure associated with living a sedentary lifestyle. Count your calories for a week - you may be surprised just how much you are overeating each day...
Here is the formula to maintain weight: Calories in = calories out
Here is the formula to gain weight: Calories in > calories out
Here is the formula to lose weight: Calories in < calories out
