According to Columbia University–trained nutrition expert Fred Pescatore, M.D., a couple of Tamela’s key strategies make results soar for women over 50 on any diet.

Start here As we age, we make fewer enzymes able to extract muscle-firming and metabolism-revving amino acids from protein we eat, says Dr. Pescatore. Luckily, studies show eating more protein —about .8 grams for every pound we weigh, which translates to about 18 oz. of protein-rich foods daily for a 200-pound woman— keeps amino acids and metabolism up. Bonus: Fresh produce is packed with enzymes that further offset shortfalls.

Maximize the magic A whey-based shake literally floods the body with easyto-absorb amino acids. Per University of Arkansas findings, a daily dose of wheybased amino acids has such a powerful impact on metabolism, it doubles the speed at which we burn fat— even in sedentary seniors. And readers report “shaking off” up to 20 pounds in 10 days!
