A question I frequently hear asked is "Why do men over the age of 40 struggle to lose weight?" And it is a fair question. That was about the time in my life when I had to start watching my weight. Now that I'm 65, it isn't getting any easier either as the years tick by. But with a lot of work, it is doable to keep your weight down and fitness level up. The chapters in this book show you how. If you're a male in your forties or older, you definitely know the struggle is real. It doesn't matter if you were an athlete back in college or even a soldier back in the day as I was for 36 years ... you will notice changes in your body. You'll find it easier to gain weight and more difficult to lose it. If you do workout, you'll find it more difficult to do the same things you used to do with ease. The weights will seem heavier. Your stamina will have dropped. You'll feel less energetic and driven. The only consolation here is that whatever you may be feeling is very normal. It's part and parcel of aging. Let's look at why a man has a tougher time losing weight once he crosses forty. In this book I'll show you what foods you should be eating and the exercise schedule you need to get and stay in shape as you continue through your middle age and into your senior years.
