Date: January 26th, 2026 8:12 PM Author: talented orchestra pit rigor Always exercised and stayed in decent shape but more or less ate what I wanted (including decent amount of fast food) aside from throwing in some fruits and vegetables and trying to get enough protein. Early 40s now and recovery time from lifting is a bitch. Any noticeable improvements you've seen from eating cleaner? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5827104&forum_id=2Firm#49621867) |

Hangovers develop a hair trigger. And reading glasses are right around the corner. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5827104&forum_id=2Firm#49621887) |

Date: January 26th, 2026 8:22 PM Author: yellow fortuitous meteor No. In fact I’ve gained 30 pounds in the past year (I’m mid 40s) and I’ve noticed that whether I eat good or shitty and no matter how much I exercise my body is like “nope, you have this extra fat in your belly permanently.” I also can no longer reach the levels of sexual arousal I reached in my 20s and 30s. Getting old is real, and it sucks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5827104&forum_id=2Firm#49621930) |

Date: January 26th, 2026 8:57 PM Author: appetizing impressive psychic no as far as adding "healthy" foods and often times theyd make me feel worse.
otoh intermittent fasting has been a yuge help for overall energy and upping my creatine to 10g per day has really helped recovery
big thing that sucks is eating anything sugary. that's always messed me up but now its way worse and i have to be super strict about it. one dessert or sugary breakfast and i seemingly put on half a pound of fat along with twice as much water weight that takes days to go away. plus i'll usually get a cold with sore throat |

Date: January 26th, 2026 9:25 PM Author: appetizing impressive psychic what fast food exactly?

You're not making the NFL at this point, and you're doing too much for your actual goal, which is preserving strength and mobility and feeling good.

Date: February 2nd, 2026 1:52 PM Author: gibberish (?) No, not really. Too many calories and you get fat. I guess if I eat too much sodium I notice. If I have caffeine too late I really can't sleep now. I take a lot of supplements so maybe that covers for me but I don't really notice if I don't take them. 2 things that definitely have an impact 1) exercise, 2) sleep.
