Your article is very informative. I am still waiting for that magic pill? I have found that once you hit forty five it is very difficult to keep your weight at a healthy level. I guess your metabolism slows down greatly. I am a vegetarian, but I need to get into some sort of workout program. Any suggestions for someone who is out of shape and wants to loose about fifteen pounds?

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment. The shape and weight has much to do with exercise and diet. It is best to gradually change the bad eating habits and start exercising.
