Answer
Hi Linda,

When you hit 50, your metabolism drops. Boom, flop. Welcome to middle age. You can't do what you used to do and expect the same results.

Easy on the tuna, mercury poisoning is rampant.

Eat less, eat better, lots of water, more info on food vs. flavored packing material at www.premiumfuel.com
