If you are over 50, you have already discovered the problem of losing weight and build muscle when compared to when you were younger. As people age, muscle mass decreases, and when this occurs, the mass is replaced by body fat. Building muscle and losing weight when you are over 50 years of age is not that different than when you were younger. No matter the age, you should burn more calories, than you drink or eat and you have to gain muscle mass to replace the fat. One obstacle that the over 50 crowd has is that they have slower metabolisms.
