    Weight loss really does change with age. Most people notice it sharply after their 30s. Oscar Poon has openly described how recovery slowed, energy shifted, and visceral fat became harder to lose compared to his younger years — and that experience is far from unique.

    Why Metabolism Changes

    Over time, muscle mass tends to decrease, recovery slows, energy shifts, and behavioural flexibility changes. That affects cravings, activity, recovery, and consistency — explored more directly in how weight loss affects your metabolism.

    Why Sustainability Becomes More Important

    Younger bodies tolerate extreme dieting, inconsistent routines, and aggressive exercise more easily. As people age, the appeal of sustainable systems isn't preference — it's necessity. That's exactly the case made for low-starch low-sugar eating.

    Why Behaviour Still Matters Most

    Age affects the body. Behaviour still compounds daily on top of it. LS Diet leans on consistency, repeatability, and the behavioural permanence built inside the Weight Permanence Training™ and trained through Action Practice.

    Final Thoughts

    Weight loss changes with age. Sustainable behavioural systems matter more, not less, over time.
