[quote=Anonymous]I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned strength training yet. My understanding is that the main reason it becomes so hard to keep the weight off as we age is the natural loss of muscle mass that accompanies aging. Muscle burns calories even when you are at rest, allowing you to eat more (this is why men have an easier time losing weight -- they naturally have higher muscle mass than women). The good news is, a regular regimen of strength training can slow/reverse this loss of muscle mass and allow you to still enjoy an occasional piece of cake or nightly glass of wine without gaining weight.
