Disagree. Energy and performance.... It's almost all in nutrition. Get used to eat low carb.
20% carbs, no sugars, no sweeteners, no softdrinks, avoid wheat meal.
30-50% fat, it delivers slow, sustained energy
50-30% proteins. Preferably milk, cheese, eggs, meat.
The more fibers (more vegetables, less fruit), the less obstipation. Once you start to lose weight and gain energy, start exercising and probably add muscle supplements in small doses. Watch your joints, do less running, more exercise without weights, only body weight (planking, push-ups 15-30mins over a day). This is just for compensating posture problems when you sit around most of the day. Walking and moving around (playing with the kids) should be enough to keep you fit. The body works best when delivered the right "fuel".
Just my three cents.
EDIT: I'm keeping myself to this "diet" 95% of the time. I eat 2-3 times a day and i don't feel hungry for 6+ hours after eating. I remember times at McDonalds and the likes, where i was hungry 2-3 hours after feeling fully saturated.
Thanks for your advice, I have no overweight problems (high 1.82m / 75kg.)
As of everything but little amount, the gym bores me, the only sport I practice is skiing, the rest of the year I will walk 2 or 3 times a week and it keeps me well.
Sounds good. I don't see much to change activity-wise. Metabolism gets slower over time, while ageing.
I'm 40+ with slight underweight, more the type of guy that can't really gain weight by food (some call me lucky in that regard).
However, i felt more energy to move/exercise and also more stamina southwards
after reducing carbs and banning sugars, while body definition and overall posture improved (less bloating).
Gym IS boring, i need 3x3 minutes a day for my planking routine (each 1 min. elbow + either side) plus a set of 10 push-ups per minute, five to six repetitions. But this is mainly for maintaining core stability, as i'm still skateboarding once a week.
