Very true, it's no secret that your metabolism slows down with age. And, our activity levels usually decrease with age as well.

I live by this, enriched products - bread, pasta, etc. is also artery clogging. Each and every one of us is different, and how our bodies process is different. But, given my family's heart problem history - I avoid a lot of things that I used to "indulge" in.

This is key! Control your portions.

Shaun actually what I am saying avoid the white bread, flour tortillas, pasta, white rice, etc ... try to substitute with wheat-based stuff ..... pounds come right off, at least for me it does.
