This is what happens when you eat the pie every Christmas dinner even though you’re full. It adds up over the years.

I dread the day I’ll stop smoking
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 days ago
Fwiw, I lost about 4 kg of my average weight (That was about 7% of my body weight) when I stopped smoking. A couple of years down the road I also quit drinking which also decreased my average weight by another 4 kg.
(With average weight I take into consideration that I have natural, not dieting related fluctuations of about +/- 1 to 2 kg. The fluctuations are still there but the mean they deviate from is vastly different.)
Maybe I should add that I am still eating about five pounds of sugar a day and I haven’t done sports since 2012, so don’t assume that quitting smoking meant a healthier lifestyle (sadly).

You might as well check your insulin levels, maybe it’s worse than your lungs

Did Russell Crowe gain weight for a movie role, bc of health issues or because he discovered the all you can eat buffet on Carnival Cruises?
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
Role in this case, went up to 270lbs and lost 50lbs after
WarmSoda@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I don’t know any details of the picture. But gaining weight as you get older is completely normal for men and women. If you’re expecting to have a 25 year old physic at 50 you’re in for a lot of depression long before you reach 50.
Plus people like Crow worked out a lot. You don’t get movie star muscle without doing a lot of work, and probably some short cuts. When you stop doing that you gain weight that isn’t muscle.
Shit, even going from a semi active lifestyle to a 9-5 office job will add a belly of you’re not hitting the gym.
He looks normal for a guy his age, and for what he’s done for decades.
Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 days ago
This honestly does not look normal where I live

My wife is 49 and she’s hotter now than at 25 when we met. She has visible abs and has had two kids.
You absolutely can have a good body as you age if you eat well and move a bit.
Russell is above a healthy weight because he’s spent years and years indulging with his excessive wealth to enable it, he needs to put down the fork and pick up the weights.

Only if you keep eating as you did before. People don’t change their diets as they get older because they seem unaware / not caring that the belly will come otherwise.

Gym? If you go to the gym to not get a belly you are doings wrong already, you can never outtrain your fork.
People get fatter as they get older because they don’t adjust their calorie intake to their decreased level of activity, there is nothing about a human body that says you have to get fatter as you age
GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Gaining weight as you age is not “normal”. It is “common”.

I love how respectful you’re talking about this meme / Crowe.

He actually is pretty heavyset in his role in The Exorcism, which just came out. I don’t know if it was intentional but it certainly fits with his character in the film.
