You're eating healthier than ever, but your muscles feel
flabby, your energy is sapped and your jeans feel increasingly
snug, particularly in the belly, hips and rear.
The sad truth: Metabolic rate (the number of calories we burn
in a day) plummets as we age, decreasing about 1 percent
each year after we hit 30. But research shows there are things
you can do to help combat metabolic slowdown.
"When our metabolisms slow down isn't just age-related,"
explains Christine Gerbstadt, M.D., registered dietitian and
spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "Body
composition, which is determined by genetics, diet and
activity, also plays a major role." Like 370202 likes. Sign Up to see what your friends like.

Siobhan I normally dont critique peoples nutritional advice... Unless of course they offer a total crap pot
theory backed up by a flimsy article... that much protein at every meal? Are you kidding? People get
way to much as it is... Americans daily diet usually consume up to 35 to 40% of protein... If you eat it
every meal that would be sky rocketed... Do you even know how much protein you are supposed to
get.....? It's 15% Now a lot of protein in your diet causes many problems, mainly effecting your
kidneys, also excess amino acids (Protein) act as free radicals in you system. Which means your
body goes into shock, basically thinking its sick. Also, before posting ads online you should back
them up with documented studies.
