#Hot muscle mature gay men how to#
I was in the closet, trapped in a religion that taught me to hate myself, afraid to be my true self, and had no idea how to get the body I wanted. It was so hard to find a picture of me from back then with my shirt off. This is a picture of me in my early 30s and a picture of me in my late 40s. How good would that feel? More about my personal story Intuition is “learned” and practicing moderation is how your brain learns to eat the right amount of all foods intuitively, even carbs! Thus ending the lose, gain, lose, gain cycles for good.Īs a gay mean, you’ll be able to enjoy social events, eat all foods that your host may serve, and feel confident and sexy no matter what your age. “Intuition is not a single way of knowing-it’s our ability to hold space for uncertainty, and our willingness to trust the many ways we’ve developed knowledge and insight, including instinct, experience, faith, and reason” Intuition isn’t something that you’re born with, contrary to popular belief. Moderation is practiced until it becomes a habit. This is a long-term approach, not a short-term one and it doesn’t end after the big gay event is over. Once that is established small changes can be made to those above guidelines to lose fat, maintain, and/or build muscle. Then it involves learning how much protein, carbs, and fat you should be eating for optimal health and fitness. Practicing moderation involves first understanding how much food energy your unique body needs based on your stats, lifestyle, and activity level.
What most people don’t realize is that moderation doesn’t come naturally, but it has to be practiced until it becomes a habit. No foods (in and of themselves) are bad, cause you to get fat, or should stir feelings of guilt or fear when you eat them. Enjoy all foods, but do so in a way that fits with your goals and unique body. I’m more fit and muscular in my late 40s than I was in my 20s! More on my story in a minute… Here’s a better approach to looking sexy in a Speedo as a gay manĭo you know the secret myself and other gay men have learned about staying fit as we age? In fact, you can look even better than you did in your 20s. There is absolutely no reason you can’t look sexy in a speedo as an older gay man.
Many older gay men sit on the sidelines watching the young 20 somethings in their speedos and wish that they could be there again. What worked in your 20s no longer works in your 30s+ which leaves older gay men feeling stuck, unattractive, and unconfident. What’s worse, as gay men age, it gets harder to lose and they start gaining back more weight during each gain cycle. This cycle of losing weight, regaining weight, and losing that weight again, over and over is pretty hard on the body.
The weight slowly comes back on only to be even in a worse spot before the next gay event on the calendar. Then the event is over and it’s back to regular eating. The problem is that while they may lose weight temporarily, they get to the event and go crazy with carbs via cocktails and other carb-dense foods and spend most of the event or vacation feeling pretty bloated and lousy. In my experience, most gay men do extreme things like cut out all the carbs and almost starve themselves to accomplish this goal. Thie biggest is gay pride and the other ones are winter vacations to places like Mexico or a gay cruise.Ī few months before said events, gay men start “dieting”. In gay culture, there are a few main events each year that gay men want to look their best for.
