Once you hit 40, your metabolism slows down. Your hormones decide to act weird and you lose muscle mass. And, if obesity runs in the family, you are in trouble. You tend to put on weight, and it is also more difficult to shed this excess baggage when you are on the wrong side of 40. You try cutting down on your food intake and start going to the gym. But nothing seems to work, right? Don’t lose hope because all is not lost. Granted that it is difficult to shed those extra kilos as you advance in age. But it is not an impossible task. With the right guidance and dedication, you can still achieve your weight loss goals. It doesn’t matter how old you are. You just need to be consistent and willing to go the extra mile.
