I am 39 years old, 6 feet 4 inches tall and 240 lbs. I am having the hardest time losing the last 10-15 lbs. around my midsection.
I run and lift weights and eat healthy daily I have lost 40 lbs. over last 6 months, any suggestions? – Barry B.
To tackle that area you’ll need to address your workouts, eating, sleep and stress.

In short, focus on:
- Aerobic exercise plus core work.
- Low fat & sodium, high fiber intake with no sweets or alcohol.
- Sound 6-8 hours of sleep.
- Effective stress management.
With some dedication and patience you can shed those last 10-15 pounds!
