premise: I ' m sure you can figure out the rest from here , a lengthy decline in fitness capped off with a radical shift in metabolism when I hit 40 years of age . I am now 47 , morbidly obese and damn tired of it . About a year and a half ago I revisited some of the research and plans I had followed in my more fit years and used it as a jumping off point to find the perfect formula for a highly efficient method of losing weight while increasing strength , endurance , and flexibility . These traits are what I now desire for my performance standards . Why am I morbidly obese ?
hypothesis: Because I hit 40 years of age .
