Because everything seems to work less effectively as you grow older including your base metabolic activities, it seems harder to burn calories and lose weight.

You are dead wrong here. Studies show metabolism slows down 5% or less, people just move less and eat worse as they age.

All that to say, while Pecker's statement is a little misguided based on my personal experience,

Yeah frick all the science, you think that it's a certain way, so it is

So I'm dead wrong when I say that metabolism seems to slows down and you prove that by saying "studies" (link? ) it slows down? OK.

Which I stated or at least strongly implied in my OP, I believe. The lessening of movement results in a decrease of muscle mass. Decreases in muscle mass directly impact basal metabolic rate. Which was a part of my total statement and why I suggest Pecker is slightly of base. Mostly related to the difficulty of reversing trends and habits we have developed as younger folks.

Based solely on anecdotal evidence of my own experience, this is not true. Studies showing that are likely to be correct in general are believable.

So saying that he was mostly right but a little simplistic is in opposition to science how, exactly?

My response never claimed to be the result of scientific studies but rather my own experiences in which I encourage people to develop good habits early, rather than having to do so in your late 40's or 50's.
