Once you reach 30, your body starts to work a bit… differently. </p></div><div><p>An older 2004 research review showed that in your 30s, you start losing <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2804956/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">3 to 8 percent</a> of muscle mass per decade. Muscle helps torch calories, so losing muscle means you’re burning fewer calories. Your <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8361073/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">metabolism is also slowing down</a>. That makes it even harder to get those cals gone.
