It's Gotten Harder to Lose Weight- And Not for the Reasons You Think

[MosheFeingold]

77. I'm 91 and fit, and I will tell you how

Ready:

1. Select parents that lived over 100. This is about 50% of the problem.

The rest is in your control. Here is what I do:

1. I have never smoked, except in France during WWII.
2. I have always been a weight lifter. I pick things up and put them down. And not little things. Big ugly iron weights from the 1950s.
3. I have never jogged in my life.
4. I have walked a whole heck of a lot.
5. I do sprint intervals. I rand 4 400 meters today, walking between sprints. I also flipped a tire for fun.
6. I take stairs up and elevators down.
7. I garden a lot.

8. I drink 3 days a week (used to have a problem with that).

9. I eat a LOT of protein. Mainly fish and dairy products. But also beef and lamb. No shellfish or pork, but then I am Jewish. How much protein? 1 g of protein per lean pound of body weight. Been doing this since the 1960s.

10. I go to bed very early and get up around 5.

11. I drink coffee all day. And lots of water. Sometimes I drink a cup of coffee at night and go back to bed.

12. I am religious and have a reason to get up in the AM.

13. Any time I start getting fat, I stop drinking and cut back on sweets, and up my exercise by an extra hour or two a week.

Vitamins? An aspirin, fish oil, 400iu D, 200 CoQ10, something from tomatoes whose name I forget, DHEA, pregnalone, 1000 mgs Vit C, a probiotic, and L-Arganine.

People mistake me for being 30 years younger than I am, all the time.
