metabolism after 40

Avoid it.

just kidding

Quit eating out so much. It has consequences for both men and women. A detailed description (of the result/s) is unnecessary and s’passt nisht on a Torah’dik site.

even in the 40’s it’s hard to keep off those couple extra pounds.

i know someone who is 17 and his metabolism greatly slowed down ever since his birthday. He says every yr his metabolism slows down more. Daven for him

Everything changes after 40, even your eyesight. Yes your metabolism slows down even after 30, then again after 40, and again after 50. You need to make adjustments to your diet and exercise routine.

eclipse; I don’t know whether I have the right or the wrong number, but –generally– “Overhang” and “Hangover” are not one and the same. You could get a hangover from excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages. And excessive eating (out), of fatty, high-Carbohydrate foods will get you overhang. For men, it’s mostly in the stomach. For women. C’est dans la derriere. (Compris.)

happy birthday twisted!

Thank you Amichai, its a day I take seriously, with a cheshbon nefesh and a taanis, but can’t deny the universal concept.

I think the big culprit of the 40-50 age slot is the fact that you ususally don’t have the time to take care of yourself as you did in your 20-30-40 slot (more kids, longer working hours, more stress, less time to exercise / eat right). Plus, the overall lifestyle (more simchas to attend, later nights, more driving) work against you

Making a meal at home takes time and focus. Buying take-out on the way home takes $40. Walking 3 miles takes about an hour and burns calories; driving 50 miles burns gasoline.

Convenience is a great thing. But it also takes a great toll.

Eclipse; (Lunar or Solar); I was speaking in general terms. I may have a neighbor or neighbors or family members who are on the heavy side but I don’t notice. My Mother-in-law is b’Gan Eden and those Einiklach named after her are all big girls, b”h. And I have only one wife for the past 38 Years, b”h. The only two things in life that are “Ex” in my life are cars and bosses. Now, to the main –and original– topic. In the later Thirties, the results of a slowing metabolism and eating the full menu in restaurants and on simchas is beginning to show. But drinking plenty of water (spring, filtered tap or carbonated are all the same.) is the best remedy to lose weight. When you do that, you don’t have to starve or count every calorie. Exercise. Including brisk walks are very effective in keeping weight under control and have additional health benefits.

if you eat three meals a day and no nosh or cake or extras in between, then dont worry about a thing by the time youll reach that age youll have other more important things to look at and worry about. you only live once enjoy life.

The permanent “pregnancy” of many guys is not just fat. Sedentary/low activity lifestyle lend to poor muscle tone and the kishkes hanging out. That puts undo stress on the spine, and just having your midsection re-arranged from the original design cannot be too good. I lead an very physical life for parnassah, and I see that if you survive it, you don’t need to go to the gym, or have the doctor decree a walking regimen. It is sad to see that this is a common malady since “work” for most of us has ceased to be actual labor. For young guys that have any vanity to them, here in EY, we are starving for avodah ivrit in the building trades, and you can have a six pack ab along with the contribution to yishuv haaretz, and not sweat the occasional felafel or shwarma fat fest.
