[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stope blaming age and metabolism for weight gain. Metabolism doesn't change overnight when you turn 39 or 40 or whatever you are telling yourself.  Yes, we lose muscle as we age, but this is a very slow decline that again doesn't change anything overnight.

Now what does change as we age- Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) or rather the energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise, that is calories burned through non exercise specific activities. When I was in my 20's I lived in the city and walked a lot, went out dancing with friends and so forth. In my 30's I had 2 young kids so I walked a ton with them, spent a lot of time at the playground and had to physically care for them. In my 40's I still exercise/go to the gym but my job is more sedentary, I spend more time in my car driving my kids around than I do talking them on walks and physically caring for them.

We don't want to admit it but our habits do change over time.

Supplements are a joke and literally just pissing your money away.  Instead focus on your diet (eating healthy is not enough, even healthy food has calories, watch portions) and work on getting more activity into your day. [/quote]

Finally someone else who gets it.  You have to move more, eat less. Move a lot more than you think!  One thing I do disagree with here is the comment about supplements.  Now I agree supplements for weight loss or to increase your metabolism are a crock.  However in daily life due to the quality of our soil which has been grossly depleted over the years, we don't get enough natural sunlight, and also because of all the stress coming our way, I do believe you sometimes need to supplement. I take Vit D3 +K2 for my bone health. I also take Zinc and Magnesium. Daily. [/quote]
