Yeah, recovery time and metabolism have been affected by age for me, but that doesnt really contradict TCs view.

While we're at it, research shows that metabolism doesn't change much at all as you age from your 20s to your 60s.

It's everything else that changes. Your diet, your lifestyle, your habits. When you were 20 you were broke, worked a hospitality job and found the taste of beer icky.

When you're 35 you buy all the snacks you want, you work an office job and get in less than 3000 steps a day and you finish off each evening with a crisp pale ale.

Finally (and often, the only actual reason), time. Maybe you were putting on weight your entire adult life, very slowly. 2lbs a year. You never noticed it was so gradual. Well 15 years have gone past now and you're 30lbs heavier. Go figure.
