See, I don’t think it’s that simple. I believe it’s in some people’s genes to be fat and unless they starve themselves will always be fat. I was size 3 all my life until hit 40. I don’t eat any more than I used to. I do get less exercise but that’s because I get strange, lasting pain (hurts to the touch) in my chest when I do...it lasts for days after a couple of moderate cardio workouts. I don’t like it.
With due regard for you feelings please factor this into your rationalization. As we get older we burn less calories and eat more because we are bored. I can tell you that a 35 year old will burn 3500 cal in an average day . By the time youre are 50— its sown to 2200 cal/per day. That simply means that to lose fat you must intake less than 2200 cal. Exercise will burn about 350 cals per 30 minute segment ( simple walking) and tone muscles. If you want I can guarantee the workout and cal intake that will drop you 3 pounds in week one and average 5 ponds a month. The issue is self discipline and desire to turn it around. God Bless you ( but God doesn’t eat for you). Take charge of you body. That genetic crap is a lie. Email me if you want. I am 70 and work out 4 times a week 60 minutes but you don’t start where I am. Extend your life— NOW!!
