How to Lose Weight Fast After 50: Proven Strategies for Quick & Sustainable Results

 Why Weight Loss After 50 Is Different

Losing weight after 50 can feel like an uphill battle. Hormonal shifts, a slower metabolism, and lifestyle changes make it harder to shed pounds like we did in our 30s. But here’s the good news—you can lose weight fast, safely, and effectively with the right approach.

One of the most effective programs I’ve found is the Faster Way to Fat Loss—a science-backed system that combines intermittent fasting, whole food nutrition, and strength training for maximum fat burn. But before we dive into that, let’s talk about the best strategies to help you reach your weight loss goals quickly.

Style, wellness, and strength—at every age.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that style doesn’t start with a great outfit—it starts with how you feel. And since 2018, I’ve been leaning into a wellness journey that’s more than just about looking good in jeans (although that’s a nice bonus). It’s about energy, strength, and aging with vitality.

That’s why I gave Faster Way to Fat Loss a try in 2018 and still love the program—and today, I want to share what it is, how it works, and whether it might be right for you too.

What Is Faster Way to Fat Loss?

Faster Way to Fat Loss (FWTFL) is a nutrition and fitness program that combines three key strategies:
✔️ Intermittent fasting
✔️ Carb cycling
✔️ Whole food nutrition and strength training

But unlike extreme diets or quick fixes, FWTFL is about building sustainable habits. You’re not cutting out entire food groups or doing hours of cardio. Instead, you’re learning how to fuel your body intentionally, exercise efficiently, and yes—still enjoy a glass of wine or a night out.

Embrace Intermittent Fasting

One of the fastest ways to lose weight after 50 is intermittent fasting (IF). Instead of snacking all day, IF helps regulate insulin levels and burn stored fat for energy.

🔹 Start with a 12:12 fasting window (fast for 12 hours, eat within 12 hours)
🔹 Progress to 16:8 (fast for 16 hours, eat within 8 hours)
🔹 Avoid breaking your fast with high-sugar foods—stick to protein and healthy fats

💡 Faster Way to Fat Loss incorporates IF as part of its fat-burning method, making it easy to implement!

Cut Sugar and Processed Carbs

Refined carbs and sugar cause blood sugar spikes and contribute to stubborn belly fat. Instead, opt for whole, nutrient-dense foods.

🚫 Avoid: White bread, pastries, sodas, and processed snacks
Eat more: Leafy greens, lean protein, whole grains, and healthy fats

Strength Training: Your Secret Weapon After 50

Cardio alone won’t cut it! To lose weight fast, strength training is crucial. It builds lean muscle, which torches more calories—even at rest.

🏋️‍♀️ Strength train at least 3x per week
🏋️‍♀️ Focus on compound exercises like squats, lunges, and deadlifts
🏋️‍♀️ Use weights or resistance bands to challenge your muscles

The Faster Way to Fat Loss program includes a strength training component, designed specifically for fat loss and muscle building!

Move More Throughout the Day

NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) plays a big role in weight loss. Increasing daily movement helps burn extra calories without spending hours in the gym.

👟 Walk 10,000+ steps per day
👟 Take breaks from sitting every 30–60 minutes
👟 Opt for stairs over elevators, park further away, and do household chores actively

Manage Stress & Get Quality Sleep

Stress and lack of sleep lead to higher cortisol levels, which promotes fat storage—especially around the belly.

😴 Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep per night
🧘‍♀️ Try meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises
📵 Reduce screen time before bed

Why the Faster Way to Fat Loss Program Works

If you’re looking for a structured way to lose weight fast after 50, Faster Way to Fat Loss is a fantastic option. It’s not a fad diet—it’s a science-backed system that focuses on:

Intermittent fasting for fat-burning
Strength training & HIIT workouts to build lean muscle
Carb cycling to optimize metabolism
Whole-food nutrition that fuels your body

Thousands of women over 50 have seen incredible results with Faster Way to Fat Loss, and it’s a great way to stay accountable while learning sustainable habits.

Is Faster Way to Fat Loss Right for You?

If you’re looking for a realistic, lifestyle-driven approach to wellness—especially over 50—FWTFL might be just the nudge you need. It’s not about shrinking yourself. It’s about empowering yourself.

And yes, you can still wear your favorite blazer, sip your dirty gin martini, and show up as the most confident version of yourself.

Lose Weight Fast & Keep It Off

Losing weight after 50 doesn’t have to be frustrating. By fueling your body with protein, incorporating intermittent fasting, strength training, and reducing sugar, you can see results faster than you think.

💡 If you’re ready to take the guesswork out of weight loss, I highly recommend checking out the Faster Way to Fat Loss program—it’s a game changer for midlife weight loss!

    Could you please reprint the strength training exercises from a few years ago?
    I used them often as a guide but they were deleted from my phone for some reason.
    Thank you

    Beth, You look awesome! Fun that you posted the 2018 and 2025 photos for comparison. WOW.
    Yes, I have done mostly everything you’ve listed in your how to, including strength training 3+ times per week, and it has worked. I’ve done it all on my own, without following a program, per se. Since Aug. 2023, I have lost nearly 25 pounds, going from an 8P to a 2P — and kept it off. At 62, I feel better than I have for a while. And that dreaded “belly” area, harder for us post-menopausal to trim, is definitely flatter due to crunches. Congratulations on your health journey; I’m happy about mine. 🙂
