Thank you for such a helpful video. I would have liked if the discussion on food choices had given some guidance on fats. Protein and carbs were fully discussed but it would have been helpful to get advice on choosing healthy fats.

I was here for some "magic pill". But it all boils down to strength training, having adequate protein, eating healthy in general. But often older people tend to be difficult to change their ways, and are often dealing with some sort of diseases(diabetes, bp, obese) etc.. and may not be in a position to strength train or eliminate certain foods. What is the way out for this situation, when you know that being overweight is the root cause of most of these dieaseses as well?
