Michael Mosley says it's possible to avoid 'middle-age spread'
This is usually caused by a hormonal imbalance brought on by the menopause. What's interesting is the weight gained in this way fixates on the stomach and less on other parts like legs and arms.
Writing in the Daily Mail, he said: "They think middle-age weight gain happens mainly because as we get older, and particularly when women enter the menopause, our need for protein rises so we eat more of everything, trying unconsciously to boost our protein intake. Unfortunately, a lot of the extra calories consumed are in the form of junk food."
The diet guru added that this pattern is also common in men over age 60 and is cause for concern. Excess belly fat surrounds internal organs, increasing the risk for developing several kinds of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes and liver problems. The weight loss specialist likes to start things with two eggs and salmon, both containing 14g and 11g of protein respectively. He also suggests porridge made with rolled oats and sprinkled with nuts for around 14g of protein in one go.
