Yes that old chestnut! With 60 not far round the corner - I got full in depth professional medical. Vo2 max, lung function, blood pressure, ECG, bowels, (waiting on bloods), stool analysis - all excellent - well chuffed. Then it comes to body composition- yes BMI obese as expected, however visceral fat not good which is worrying, 77kg muscle (good), visceral fat 20 kg (bad). Metabolic age 73 vs actual 58, FFS! I have been a big heavy strong chap all my life, but now for the first time am seriously thinking this is life shortening/ health threatening. Not like I am unfit (just did the poppy Scotland 100 miler). Any mature chaps on here with advice to shedding a couple of stone. Please no "move more/ eat less" sh*te... Time for some comfort food and a pint.....

I can recommend a brisk one hour walk every evening. Get yourself some good music and podcasts and just go. After a few weeks it will be habit. I lost around 20lb over the course of a year and it stayed off. Feel much better too.

And give up bread. Bread makes you fat 😂😂
