Introduction: A Flat Belly at 50+
You dont have to gain weight as you age.
All the negatives we associate with age fifty and beyondan expanding midsection, softer muscles, and general physical decline?
They arent inevitable.
Theyre avoidable.
Indeed, theyre even reversable.
And yet
The vast majority of us struggle with weight gain in middle age. The standard weight-loss tricks that may have worked in our thirties and forties no longer keep the weight off. We may be eating just as healthfully and exercising just as much, but were still gaining weight, seemingly faster than ever before. Why?
This book answers that question. And it lays out the simple, proven, and effective program that can reverse age-related weight gain and muscle loss, flatten your belly, and slash your risk of disability, disease, and mental and physical decline.
