You're working out consistently. Maybe your weight hasn't even changed that much. So why does your body suddenly look and feel so different? If you've wondered is it harder to lose weight after 40, blamed your changing body on a \"broken\" metabolism, or searched for ways to speed up metabolism after 40, this episode is for you.
