5 Foods I Eat To Lose Weight + Build Muscle Over 50


Listen Later

If you're over 50 and think losing fat and building muscle is impossible, I have great news! After years of testing, I've identified five essential foods that can transform your body composition. These protein-rich powerhouses - grass-fed beef, wild salmon, Greek yogurt, pasture-raised eggs, and collagen - are the foundation of a diet that supports muscle growth while fighting inflammation. The secret isn't just about eating protein; it's about consuming the right kinds with their unique amino acid profiles, bioavailable nutrients, and metabolic benefits. When you prioritize these foods, you'll experience increased energy, reduced cravings, and improved recovery within days. This isn't another diet fad - it's a sustainable approach to nourishing your body for strength and vitality in your prime years.

What you'll learn:

  • Why grass-fed, grass-finished beef provides unique nutrients like creatine, CLA, and omega-3s that support muscle growth

  • How wild salmon's astaxanthin and omega-3 content makes it superior to farmed varieties for inflammation reduction

  • The surprising benefits of Greek yogurt's slow-digesting casein protein (if you've healed your gut)

  • Why the bright orange yolks in pasture-raised eggs signal higher nutritional value

  • How collagen supports connective tissue strength - critical for injury prevention when strength training

  • The importance of protein's thermic effect and its role in reducing cravings

  • Simple ways to incorporate these foods into your daily routine for maximum benefit
