I am in my 40's and completely disagree that our metabolism slows down after 60. Maybe because I am a woman and my hormones are different from a man. I am making the changes stated in your article because I am on a mission to stop gaining weight so rapidly. It is hard, but it is a gradual process. Therefore reading this article is helpful as it is a life change for me and so I am like a child and need to hear this over and over until I make the adjustments in my life.
