Why do people think old folks can't lose fat?

Yes I have seen the old timers on stage. Pretty inspiring huh?

To answer your question - simply ignorance.

"They" say our metabolism slows down as we age. And in most cases, it does. But it isn't really because of the actual act of aging. It slows down because most people have a terrible diet which encourages MUSCLE LOSS and FAT GAIN. Muscle loss will slow down our metabolism. Slowly but surely it adds up over time. Men also create less and less testosterone as we age and our estrogen production rises. This also leads to muscle loss. But it can be overcome. By eating in a manner to encourage muscle growth AND weight lifting.

I haven't seen any seniors bodybuilding. So I can't answer that. But for the most part, anyone can lose weight and become fit at any age. It just takes the proper mindset and drive.

The athletic seniors I run into AND work out with are triathletes.

They're all lean, mean and are ready to take Social Security to the cleaners.
