10 Years Lighter in 5 Months
Last May I met a guy I thought was a real-life Soprano:
named Tony, Italian, shoots guns a lot, owns restaurants,
mid-50s, built like a bear.
When I saw him yesterday, I noticed he looked different somehow.
Maybe he shaved his mustache, was wearing different clothes, or maybe I just remembered him wrong.
I told him that I thought he looked different…and he said he’d
lost 40 big ones since May. Turns out he’d had surgery last year for a neck injury and was inactive for a while. And blew up like a balloon.
He credits exercising again, whey protein shakes and fish oil
with his quick change. “I feel better than I have in quite
a while.”
As we talked, he mentioned something about having kids in
Montessori school, about the same age as my daughter.
“How old are you, anyway?” I asked.
42.
Wow. I totally missed that one. I thought he was at least 10
years older than me. That extra baggage really made him look older. And feel older. He’s actually two years younger than me, and now he’s starting to look it
A couple of points:
1. Even if you’re sidelined, you can always get back in the
game.
An injury/accident, prolonged sickness, even travel, jury duty or unexpected emergencies can derail your workout/eating
schedule. Sometimes for quite a while. I had a similar
experience last summer and had to rehab myself for five or six months.
But you don’t have to let it paralyze you. Being off the path
is OK…you can always get back on. Even if your 40 or 50-
something.
2. Carrying that extra baggage shortens your life. Extra
weight decreases your lifespan; losing the weight helps you
live longer. And it helps you look younger, too.
3. Good nutrition helps you get there quicker.
Whey protein helps you save muscle and burn fat

Fish oil helps you burn fat and not store as much, because
you’re more sensitive to insulin (the less insulin you need,
the longer you live)

PS Put the Badda-bing back in your Badda-boom, and feed
yourself the way it wants to be fed. You can tell it’s
working when people tell you how much better you look. And
with holidays right around the corner, can winter coats be
far behind? Get a jump-start on winter and jump-start your
metabolism with whey protein and fish oil.
