Off topic. As you aged did you develop a big gut? I take a shower in the dark. Just wondering if I
have a problem. That is all. And by the way I stopped tucking my shirt in my pants over a year ago.

“PB”=PotBelly? I didn’t realize your posts on oil prices were referring to cod liver oil.

Funny, by the way I’ve cornered the cod liver oil market only cost me $1,854.24
I don’t anyone calling me pot belly if so it’s your fault. Thanks. By the way I make 23 cents every time somebody buys cod liver oil.

44 was on constant motion and continued until COVID after retiring from Navy.
Steak, Chicken, Fish and Veggies....no pizza bread posta and NO FAST FOOD.

Stay active, make it part of your life. -

Not yet. I'm 60
And work out regularly and walk to play golf a couple times a week. Although with my cataract surgery that didn't work out, making clean contact with my irons has proven to be a real chore.

Not an expert, but believe studies have shown it's all about calories.
Exercise is important for overall health, but doesn't have a long term effect on weight.
The study I am thinking of followed these African hunter gatherers who would run like twenty miles a day.

Losing weight is simple. Eat less calories than you burn.
NDavenue 7489 postsBut, even if you get down to unhealthy body fat % you can still have a "pooch" (but not a gut). Gotta work the TVA with stomach vacuums. All the crunches in the world might not do it without the vacuums.
I don't believe illusions because too much is for real.-

This is the article I read recently...
The body adapts remarkably fast to the burn side of the equation. Caloric intake is more important.
That is not to say exercise is pointless. Just that it doesn't help you lose weight.

Not yet and I’m 74. Began running NDs lakes in the 60s.
Ran for decades, even did marathons with my kids (including Boston!). . Only quit a couple years ago when my meniscus finally wore out. Can still bike or elliptical for a long time. HOWEVER, I need to stand in a good light to see the vestiges of my old 6 pack

As men age, it takes more and more effort to keep a big gut at bay.
Metabolism changed around 30.
Testosterone dropped noticeably around 55 (more difficult to maintain muscle mass).
You can keep a big gut at bay, but it requires effort (diet, exercise, etc. I’ve not gone with hormone supplements yet.)-
Level 2
At 30, I was in my best shape ever. 50's hit me hard. Still tucking in the shirt, though...
...at least, when I'm not carrying. :-)

Covid inactivity coupled with some nagging injuries kept me sidelined a bit and I am heavier than I
TakethetrainKnute 35813 posts..care to admit at the moment. Plan is to get back to running tomorrow.
Still tuck in the shirt though.

Just turned 54 and I have a six pack.
NDavenue 7489 postsIt's not easy and I can't keep it for long. It's really not healthy because I need to be 10 pounds under my ideal body weight. It helps that I still have high T levels.
The problem is that these days it is waaay to easy to put weight back on if you don't watch it. A couple years ago I packed on 25 pounds of fat in the late summer and fall. I told myself never again.

i asked myself: why would i have a six pack when i could have a keg?
the rest is history.

Yeah, when covid hit I took up drinking and gave up exercise. In hindsight, maybe not the best move.
The six pack I had in my thirties, with 6% body fat, absolutely smoking 18 year old privates on the Army fitness test...those days are long gone. At least I know it is possible to get there.

The pandemic and lockdowns have definitely not helped.
NDavenue 7489 postsEspecially that first 6 months when drinking was one of the only 2 pleasures in life.
