Basically, you take a Yorkshire pudding, roll it flat, and then wrap the roast beef of Old England inside of it. Gravy on the side. …This is a cruel concept for anybody trying to watch his diet. Which I am unfortunately finding it more and more necessary to do, these days. Why could nobody have suggested that I learn to fry up a bread with meat fat when I was, say, 25? I had the metabolism for such things back then!

PS: I probably will try the meatless pudding, at that (using butter for the fat). It seems reasonably easy enough to make, and I have all the ingredients close to hand. Flour, milk, eggs and butter, essentially.
Metabolism is flexible, and *can* be made to process, more or less, like it did back in the Carter Administration .. but you have to put in the miles (walking or cycling) and hours (in a gym-like setting pushing heavy things around) to get there…
.
Put more simply .. more time on the treadmill watching TV, less time on the comfy chair playing Dwarf Fortress.

I have some hopes that the treadmill regimen will stick.
Incrementalism works really well .. for a typical person, I may suggest that you start by trying to walk slowly on the treadmill for an entire half-hour sitcom .. then two of ’em (something you can binge-watch, even in reruns) once or twice a week.
.
Then .. increase the speed at every other commercial break.
.
Then .. add another day per week.
.
Ease into it, is the point. Don’t try to jump straight into it, sneak up on it.
.
Works for some, doesn’t work for others.
