Sarcopenia: How to Preserve Your Muscle Mass After 40

As we age, many people notice a loss of strength, a changing body shape… and increasing difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. This phenomenon has a name: sarcopenia. From the age of 40, we naturally begin to lose muscle mass. Without targeted action, this muscle loss can affect performance, slow down metabolism, and encourage fat gain. The good news? You can take action. At perte de poids.lu, we support our clients through a simple and effective nutri-sportive method to help restore balance, strength and well-being.

What is sarcopenia?

Sarcopenia is the gradual loss of muscle mass due to ageing. From around the age of 30–35, we begin to lose approximately 1% of muscle mass per year. After 50, this process can accelerate unless steps are taken to counteract it. The consequences can include: • Reduced physical strength • Slower metabolism (making weight gain more likely) • Decreased balance and mobility • Higher risk of injury

Why is this important for weight loss?

Muscle is a real fat-burning ally. It burns energy even at rest. The less muscle you have, the fewer calories your body burns, making it harder to lose weight and easier to regain it. That’s why, in our method, we don’t rely on dieting alone. We help you build a strong, toned and balanced body through a tailored combination of nutrition and exercise.

3 key steps to combat sarcopenia

1. A protein-rich diet

Protein is the building block of muscle. To stimulate muscle synthesis, it’s important to consume enough protein throughout the day – especially at breakfast and after physical activity. At perte de poids.lu, our meal plans are designed to support fat loss while protecting muscle mass.

2. Regular physical activity

You don’t need to spend hours at the gym. What matters most is staying active regularly with an adapted workout programme that includes: • Strength training (using bodyweight, resistance bands or light weights) • Moderate cardio for general health • Balance and mobility exercises Our coaches guide you through short, effective sessions tailored to your level.

3. Personalised support

Every body is different. Age, lifestyle and medical history all affect how quickly muscle mass is lost. Our method takes into account your lifestyle, your goals, and your constraints, offering realistic, motivating and sustainable support.
