Calorific requirements decreasing and whatnot.
Growth spurts finishing, things like that is what I'm on about.

You could always sell me a health product of dubious benefit.

And you'd waddle away pleased with yourself that you'd made some effort towards improvement.

Who has a growth spurt in their thirties or forties?
If you put on loads of muscle then you'll use more fuel. If you get sick then you typically burn more fuel. Other than that you're a pretty regular bit of machinery. Your MPG isn't changing. You're just a greedy slob.

Ummm ... no offence.

Last year I went to the gym 3 or 4 times a week and was careful with my eating.
Did fuck all, so I've gone back to drinking and less time at the gym. I'm fat but I have more fun.

Pretty sure the MPG changed.
Either way, I'm doing something about it now and I've gone from a 38 to a 36, which is progress. I hope to be back to 32 by the end of the year.

It's not so much to do with that,
but you're not growing anymore. My appetite's decreased a lot since I passed 25 because my body isn't working as hard at putting in growth spurts.

Yeah, there's a certain amount that's due to people physically not working as hard, people rarely continue to play sports quite so extensively as they age, muscles stop being as efficient etc. It all leads to a lower amount of calories being burned per day.

SO if you keep chucking fatty crap down your throat like you did when you were 18, you'll end up a fat mess.
