According to the book Exercise Physiology college-aged men carry 15% body fat, while older men carry around 25% body fat. Women are closer to 25% body fat at a younger age and move up to 35% as they reach age 50. I also have read elsewhere (can’t remember where) that men on average put on one pound of fat per year from the age of 35 to the age of 60 and that women put on less than one pound per year, but more in proportion to their overall weight.

I'd say dieting is more effective for getting lean, but a recent study shows exercise may be superior to staying lean. It also causes less hunger than dieting to create a deficit. #diettip #getlean #getslim #getleanmealplan #gettingskinnyquick

Eating dinner at the wrong time can be detrimental to weight loss. New research from the University of Surrey has found that eating your evening meal early, before 7pm, could help you lose weight faster than those who ate later in the evening. The study looked at 3 groups of people and their habits around when they ate their dinner: Early Dinner Group (which had a 6-hour window), Late Dinner Group (9 hours) and Nighttime Suppertime Group (12 hours).
