Hello

[Maryatrics]

My name is Mary and I am 66 years old. I have been retired for just over a year now as I had a career as a Dietician/Nutritionist. I now love to spend my retired days talking long walks in nature, shopping, and spending time with my daughter and grandson.

Welcome, Mary! Great to hear you are enjoying retirement. I also take long walks in nature and find it very therapeutic.

You will find this forum informative. Great people here. Perhaps you can give us some nutrition advice as well. I started a thread on Supplements some time ago and would love input. Again, welcome!

Thank you for the welcome. Long Walks especially when the scenery is so beautiful is so very therapeutic.

I would love to add what I can to a nutrition thread. Just to say this, I feel the most important thing for someone to maintain a healthy diet is to eat in moderation. Now that means do not snack on junk food between meals and stick to a well portioned meal. Adding protein supplements can be fine especially if you are an active person. Adding a protein supplement after a workout can be an added plus.

Hi Mary, nice to have you join us! I've been retired over ten years now and love taking walks in nature too.

Thanks for the welcome. Walks although you are getting energized in the process and exercise. It is also relaxing for your mind.

Thank you for your advice, Mary. This is the thread I started on supplements. Not sure whether you take them or you rely on just a healthy diet. We do both. I'm 64. Some people say supplements don't work, but I feel great.

No problem at all. I am not going to say they don't work. I don't use them because I found a healthy way to manage my eating habits and to maintain a healthy diet by just staying on a well portions meal diet and staying away from fast food and most snack type foods. Of course I will have cheat days and there is nothing wrong with that. Also as we age we have to watch our weight and some of these diets that bring on quick weight lost is not healthy at all. In my job my main thing was to work with clients to come up with a healthy plan for them as individuals. Each person is completely different in how they metabolize foods, how they exercise, and of course their size. So there eating habits and also how much they are intake is going to be different. So my job was to come up with something that worked for each person. I would sometimes have a full family come in and each plan was completely different.
