gains twenty-four pounds between the ages of twenty-five and sixty-five. Yikes!! Considering that the total food intake of women over forty is more than 40,000 pounds of food, the difference between food intake and food expenditure that produces such a weight gain is .06 percent- or just 8 calories a day. And if you want to lose weight, the whole fight comes down to 100 calories a day-that's ten permanent pounds and roughly three inches off your waist every year.
