Anyone else in their 30s noticing dieting ain't as easy as it was before...

[Deicide]

Seriously, 5 or 6 years ago...it just seemed easier...I guess age is setting in....

Anyone else noticed this?

It'll only get worse, my man. Believe me...

4 years ago I dropped 80 pounds.

I am currently in my 2nd week of taking off the 50 I gained back.  So far so good.  A calorie is a calorie.

Granted, I am not trying to kill myself on my current diet (what's the point? no competition or anything) but it did used to go faster...oh well.

Might I ask how old you are?

[OptimusPrime1980]

Really for me it is easier, when i was young i was always holding water and had alot of babyfat.
now i am 31, and seem to have more quality.
it is just that your body is now fully grown, when you are 22 /23 you can still grow a bit.
the metabolism is a bit slower, i actualy like this... I do not have to overeat to gain weight.
you do not need the same food as you did when in you early twenties.
eat a litlle less, less carbs...
a lot of people just eat to much.

41.  I was on a few cycles last time so this time will be much harder.  I got down to about 12% at 200.  So going at it natural I predict 175 at 15% bf.

Looking back, I think my metabolism was at its best in my 30s. Everything I did worked best during 30s. Did not diet as hard as in 20s and stayed a lot leaner.
Now in mid 40s it is a lot harder to stay lean, for the first time ever having to do cardio and trying to learn to eat less, which is hard as I love food and wife is a very good cook.

That's why God invented Clen, ECA, HGH and Steroids, Deicide.

[Meso_z]

Its called..."priorities".

Maybe you have other interests rather than dieting, thats why youre not motivated and see results.

[local hero]

actualy i find it easier in a way,,,, settled down, so no more chasing fanny, and all the distractions that come with it, much easier to eat your plain boring food

[_bruce_]

No.

Yes, same here.

I agree with this. I am 31 too, the quality is much better than anything i had 8-10 years ago.

Back then i ate clean all the time, much higher carbs and protein (Which i think i overdid now). Now i eat less of them but eat more junk and i stay as lean as i could be. Have more energy too.

Considering the quality i have now makes me at 21 look kinda fat (even when lean) i can imagine the same would happen at 41 to 31. Quality is awesome.

It's easier for me than it was say five or ten years ago - being able to afford whey instead of chugging down gallons of milk every day has made it easier - being independent and not having to worry about anyone else means I can concentrate on making a lot of my chicken and rice meals in bulk and storing them so that I don't cheat.

Das naechste Mal, wenn du Englisch schreibst, suche nach einem Grammatikbuch; es ist besser so, denn wenn du mich zu beleidigen versuchst und Fehler dabei machst, stellst du dich nur dumm dar.

Das Perfekt im Englischen wird nur in Bezug auf die Gegenwart benutzt. Bei Zeitangaben wird das Imperfekt verlangt.

Seriously, if you actually spent some time outside of your bumblefuck town in the mountains of Austria, you might have known that, Herr Bauer.

So "Were in shape in your 20s??" is a correct, english sentence? Brutal self-pwning

To get back to the point, I was at various points in time in shape and dieting was easier back then.

[YngiweRhoads]

No, and I'm in my 40's. Still no cardio or 'assistance' either.

So you actually have been in shape once ?
