(even if your metabolism has slowed, your hormones feel out of whack, and nothing else has worked before)
I get it. Hitting 40 felt like slamming into a brick wall. I wasn’t eating pizza every night or skipping workouts, but the gut kept growing. Shirts got tighter, my energy tanked, and the mirror didn’t match how hard I thought I was working.
I wasn’t lazy. I ran. I lifted. I counted calories. I even tried intermittent fasting. But the stubborn belly fat just sat there.
Now my daily struggle with belly fat included:
Feeling bloated and “frumpy” no matter how much cardio I did
Watching the scale refuse to budge despite tracking every calorie
Crushing workouts only to see zero progress in the mirror
Wondering if low-T and aging meant this was just my new “dad bod”
Feeling like the harder I worked, the less my body responded 
I Tried Everything Experts Suggested:
Cutting calories to the extreme (just left me tired, cranky, and still stuck with belly fat)
Running miles and miles of cardio (burned me out, stole muscle, and still didn’t flatten my gut) 
Following “eat clean” diets (too vague, too rigid — failed by Friday night beers or pizza with the kids) 
Ab workouts and core circuits (spoiler: you can’t spot reduce belly fat — it doesn’t work that way) 
Supplements and gimmicks (burn money, not belly fat)
And every time I failed, it crushed my confidence a little more.
I remember standing in the dressing room, staring at a belly that wouldn’t go away, no matter how hard I worked. I thought: “Maybe this is just what happens after 40… maybe this is my new body.”
Through research, trial and error, and help from experts, I learned:
Men over 40 burn fewer calories naturally — meaning old tricks stop working
Belly fat isn’t just cosmetic — it’s often visceral fat linked to low energy, low-T, and future health risks
You can’t just “outrun” a bad belly — cardio alone makes you look skinny-fat, not lean
The real key is hormone-friendly strength training, smarter nutrition, and lifestyle resets that fit a busy dad’s life
