[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you?

I agree w pp best bet is to cut out dairy, sugar, gluten. Or at the very least cut out all alcohol. It’s more about what you eat/drink than about exercise, unfortunately.[/quote]

OP here - well thats depressing haha. I am 37.  I have never dieted a single day in my entire life. I work out for sure but never watch what I eat. I guess I should start doing that now that I am older! [/quote]

Everyone has to do it at some point. You probably will always be able to eat more than people who have had inefficient metabolisms since puberty and have always had to be more conscious of food intake, but you will be closer together in that as you age.

A lot of people who say what you just said were never actually in shape to begin with- they just were naturally thinner and worked out some but not enough to actually offset all their intake- they just had a naturally really really efficient metabolism. Basically they wouldn't have very "in shape" body/muscle ratios they would just be naturally thinner and a little exercise every other day or so would give them enough definition that they thought they were "in shape".

Not necessarily saying this is you- but its the case a lot of the time when people hit a certain age and try to get back into shape- they weren't all that fit before, just thinner! In that case, yeah its going to be a lot of cutting what you eat to get smaller. If you want to not have to cut so much its going to be more focus on macros and body recomp training regimines. I personally find that much easier to do mentally and less like a slog, but for some they are like "eff this, I don't want a second job of planning protein, you gym rats! I'll just skip sandwiches" which I completely get and respect, LOL[/quote]
