I used to be able to do that in my twenties. Now, in my thirties, it appears I have lost that ability. Cutting my calories seems to causey body to go into a sort of hibernation where it becomes more efficient and conserves more calories.

In other words, my metabolic burn rate at rest and while active seems to go down significantly.

Important that you bring up the age factor. We're doing more research now with our doctors on how best to adjust treatment based specifically on male hormonal changes with age.
