SENIOR CITIZENS OFTEN FIND IT DIFFICULT TO LOSE WEIGHT Lets face it, most people find it hard to lose weight, and senior citizens even more so, mainly because they become less active, do not realize that their body requires less calories than when they were younger and therefore requires less food, and they sometimes forget that longevity and mental agility partly depends on being thin.

This book may be the most important you will ever read if you want to simplify your diet while you eat for health, fitness, and vitality.
