No. I'm 36 and thin. I eat what I want.

I know why I am not skinny after 35. It has to do with the bag of potato chips I had for lunch.

No. 90% is what you eat not what you do.

Eat meals with lein protein (fish, chicken...), plus big volume but low density (hint: veges) - you will never be starving. Cut out the white past/rice but save 250 calories/day for treats (that would be 2 small cookies).

3-4 times HIIT/week.

You should be fine.


where's my wine in that equation????????????

Borderline eating disorder? I don't know -- just be healthy and don't worry too much about the scale.

also have to be naturally blessed with the skinny gene. But even that will not always come to your rescue.

Yeah then comes menopause and even that doesn't work.

Though a friend of mine stayed pretty thin on no exercise and a gin diet. She made it to 85.

Pretty much. A preference for salads and kid's meal portion sizes also helps.

You have to work out 7 days a week at a high intensity. You have to starve yourself and eat no sugar. You have to give up all alcohol. Does this sound correct?
