| Hey Friend,
One of the most common things I hear from men in their 40's and beyond is this:
"My metabolism just isn't what it used to be."
And there's some truth to that, you're not imagining it.
Something is changing... but it's probably not what you think.
It's not just getting older.
It's not just declining hormones.
And it's definitely not because your metabolism is "broken."
The biggest change is Muscle Loss!
Starting around age 30, most adults lose between 3 - 8% of their muscle mass every decade, and that rate accelerates as we get older - especially if we're not strength training.
And muscle matters because it's metabolically active tissue.
The more muscle you have:
✔️ The more calories you burn at rest
✔️ The better your blood-sugar control
✔️ The stronger and more energetic you feel
✔️ The more active you naturally are throughout the day
When muscle disappears, the opposite happens...
You burn fewer calories without changing how you eat.
You feel weaker and move less.
Energy drops.
Fat gain creeps up.
That's why so many guys in their 40's wonder why they gained weight doing the same things they've always done.
It's not that your metabolism "shut down"...
It's that your metabolism is just slower because you've lost muscle.
The Good News?
This is fixable - and you don't need to follow an extreme diet or workout everyday to do it.
Here's the simple formula:
🥩 Eat enough protein
Aim for at least 1 gram per pound of lean bodyweight to preserve and build muscle.
🏋️ Lift weights consistently
You don't need to live in the gym and workout everyday. Simply doing 2 or 3 structured strength training sessions per week is enough to send your body the signal to maintain and build muscle.
When you prioritize muscle, you're not "fighting aging"...
You're working with your biology.
Build muscle → raise your metabolism → make fat loss easier instead of harder.
Your metabolism doesn't have to slow down in your 40's.
Train smarter. Eat better. And it can actually become more efficient than ever.
Just like it did for the guys featured below... 💪🔥
