How to Burn Fat over Age 50 – Comprehensive Guide – Thomas DeLauer
Burning fat over age 50 is actually a little bit different and there’s not a lot of people out there breaking down what should be done differently.
The purpose of this video isn’t to be the end all be all, it’s to give those of you that are over 50, really over 40, just some additional things that you should consider.
Because a lot of this stuff still applies to you that’s out there in the internet and that you’re going to read about or watch, but you need to have these little nuggets of information that you can apply, that work specifically for you and your bio-individuality, because once you’re over 50 there’s just hormonal shifts that occur and you need to be able to get by with a little bit less.
So, a few things that I’m going to cover within this video:
Apple cider vinegar. I know I’ve talked about this in other videos, so if you’re a subscriber of mine already, I’m sorry for repeating myself, but there are some specific things that come into play when you’re over 50.
You see, apple cider vinegar and the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar up-regulates something known as PPAR. Now, PPAR is sort of a genetic pathway, or kind of a protein pathway, that allows fatty acids to get mobilized a little bit easier.
I highly recommend, and this is very, very important, that men and women over the age of 50 make a concerted effort to have their one or two cups of coffee in the morning.
Then after that’s done, switch over to green tea, okay? Because green tea is a very powerful what is called phosphodiesterase inhibitor.
Now, that’s going to make it so that throughout the course of the day your body is sending a signal to still allow what is called CAMP, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, to be elevated, which therefore tricks your body into thinking that it needs to burn the stored fat for fuel.
The other really important supplement that you need to be taking is going to be vitamin D. Now, I highly, highly, highly recommend that you get vitamin D from a whole food form. Okay? This is going to look like a canned fish, sardines, anchovies, oysters. Okay? Try to get them with the skin on and with the bone. I know it might sound gross, but it’s going to make a big difference. Vitamin D is so powerful when it comes down to fat loss.
Okay, I want to jump around to protein here for a minute, because I think this is super, super critical. There’s two important factors that you have to remember with protein. I’ll lay them out real quick here. Number one, high omega-3 protein. Without fail, grass-fed, grass-finished. More on that in a second. Number two, as an older person, you need more protein, not less. Do not worry about your kidneys with this. There is actually evidence that shows that more protein is good for the kidneys as you get older.
I hope that these tips have helped you out a lot. I’ll see you soon.

Please comment on ascorbic acid vs food sources of vitamin C with respect to fat mobilization
A bit too technical for me (some terms) but I got it anyway! I am 57 and looking for a whole program for 2025. I want to create a sustainable habit, from skincare to my inside organs, as I have been sedentary and now have consequences. I want to be in my best shape so if you can create some suggestion routine for intermittent fasting and extra protein eating + home base exercises, that would be great! 🙂 I plan a weekly exercise program where I can focus on one part of my buddy each day. This way will be easy but constant, what do you think?
Any green tea? And what can be used to sweeten it?
Anchovies? Oysters…ummm. No😅 what are alternatives?
Does this still hold up 4 years later Thomas? Update?
How do I avoid constipation when intermittent fasting… ??
I do 18 hrs easy, but it really clogs me up. Modified Citrus Pectin makes it all worse.
I take acv every day or i vomit stomach juices. Guess this is common for those of us who don’t have enough acid in belly. Im going to dr for meds to control but i like the ACV lemon Himalayan sea salt cocktail with warm water. Thanks for excellent content. You are extremely hot AF too! Kudos
Fast question. Over 50 we need to be increasing our protein by a considerable amount. However at the same time a person may really like long term fasting, such as 18-20-23 hours.
So..if I’m trying to get my 200 grams of protein, is that little food window my time to pound the 200 grams?
What is this doing to my absorption of that amount in that little window?
Thanks
I'm 55, Asian female, 5ft, started clean Keto + OMAD in Feb., started at 135lbs (was very active before but I let myself controlled by stress after a life-changing event – the reason I got fat). I now weigh 114lbs (I still have 3lbs to go to get back to my original weight before I got fat), started major hiking again, went back to joining ultramarathon/marathon, jogging/walking every morning (minimum of 8km per day). My daily intake – clean Keto & lemon water with ACV. I wedged in a 48hrs fast last month and will probably do it again next weekend during Lent cleansing. I still kick ass at 55.
drinking apple cider vinegar for weight loss is unsupported by science
