Fair point Theoldguy1. A healthy set of lungs and heart are clearly a big part of overall health. I certainly don't mean to speak for anyone but myself in this regard. First, I would say that as a lean, fit person, I am also active. One of my favorite activities as an 41 year old guy is to jump on the trampoline with my 6…

Agreed! My differences to what you say. 26 years or experiments and staying very fit. Tracked weight and calories really well for about 3 of 5 years. Hormonal effects play a role but it seems much, much less of a role than energy balance. I really wonder why there is a big debate. That's my opinion backing up yours anyway.

Haha!.... so funny. I didn't think of it that way. Good post.

Thanks for the reply. I would have to first say that I am stating some opinions based on my experiences. Next, I'd like to clarify that I personally have things pretty dialed in when it comes to my fitness. I hate to constantly bring up my background but it makes it hard to add credibility without putting some context to…

I AGREE! The key being, "body burning tactic"... I am not a bodybuilder, I'm a fit middle aged husband and dad. To keep this fit I value my metabolism and muscle. I don't want to burn my body, I want to build it up, feel strong and be a fat burning machine! It is about Fat Loss, not Weight Loss for me. I'm 175 lbs, wear a…

Last winter I did intermittent fasting. I had a "feeding window" for about 8-10 hours and I fasted overnight for 14-16 hours. I found that because I was going so long without protein my body was breaking down the muscle I made to feed the muscle I worked. I found that I didn't make progress over that winter because of the…

I hope this helps you with your ultimate goal to get your weight down. I'm not yet 49 but I'm 41 and I don't do any cardio to stay lean. I've never done performance drugs and I've been more or less in this kind of shape for 26 years straight. How? To really, really simplify: a) Build my metabolism. It takes calories to…

I'm not exactly sure if I understand your point but I will try to answer anyway. For about 22 years I used 90/10 rules like conscious food choices to keep my diet in check. I was always lean, strong and similar in build to my current build. (although just 135 lbs at the start of grade 10 at the very beginning) Over the…

Personally I have a workout partner and talk with them between sets or I have earphones in and keep to myself. After 26 years I've never had a problem aside from the odd guy (a few times ever) who may seem a little impatient when I asked how many sets he has left on a piece of equipment. I would say that younger fit girls…

IF eating regularly tells my body to store those calories as fat and my body is not being told by my frequent eating to burn fat then: How do I stay muscular and lean? Steroids? No... never did them even once. Youth? No... I'm 41 years old. Dieting for summer? No... I'm lean year round. Fasting? No... don't fast except…
