The #1 Weight Loss Lie You Need to Stop Believing - msnNOW

However, believing this lie can be a huge mistake, considering that age may not make it harder to lose weight after all, according to a new study.

The study authors found that patients over the age of 60 were able to make lifestyle changes to lose weight just as effectively as their younger counterparts.

Patients were split into two groups: those aged 60 and older and those under 60.

Weight-loss intervention in the patients ranged anywhere from one month to 143 months, but the results showed that the group of patients aged 60 and older lost weight just as effectively as the under-60 group.

So, yes, it's a mistake to believe the lie that the older you get, the harder it will be to lose weight.
