20 years ago both my wife and I started lifting as way to lose weight. We had absolutely NO idea what we were doing, but we both knew oure energy level had increased and we felt better by a magnitude of 10x’s.

Funny, hunger does set in when you put physical demands on your body, both of us increased intake, but at that time the no fat no sugar and all carbs (idiot driven fad and FDA supported ) came along and so we lifted with more intensity and kept gaining even more weight. Still felt good .. looked horrible ... actually we were both obese.

Along came Bill Phillips and Body for Life ... we realized we were eating backwards. Moved to five small meals a day ...(typical is based on fist size for each potion, small chicken breast, small baked potato, noo topping, broccoli) and in doing that FAT FLEW off. Muscle packed on.

What you see is what you get. I lift three days a week for 47 minutes each, and do 20 mins cardio the opposite 3 days. I will say at age 55, it is more difficult to keep the bodyfat down .. testosterone levels fall off significantly after 45. But I can still run a mile in 5 minutes. Not bad for a big old geezer.

By Medical standards, the AMA and Drs see me and imnmediatly give me the imminent funeral talk. (been hearing that for 20 years now) Scrawny little dirtbags, they wouldn’t know good health if it bit them where the good lord split them.
