Guys need a weight loss plan that’s built for men! Not just a “painted over” women’s plan
Remember the days when you could eat and drink almost anything? And get away with it! Now you are getting a bit older and the pounds and years are catching up with you. It may have even gotten to the point that your doctor has put you on medication to control some common weight-related problems that guys our age face: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes or other equally fun maladies. Arghh!
What’s real… and what’s “snake oil”?
When you finally DO get serious about losing weight, what do you do? There are so many options out there: pre-packaged food delivery programs, programs that involve going to meetings, diet pills with claims that are just absurd, celebrity-of-the-month programs, online programs, and on and on. Oh, joy!
Guys live in the real world.
None of us can live the rest of our lives on a diet. It’s no fun. And it really doesn’t work anyway. What works is learning how to eat every day in the REAL WORLD – at home, at restaurants, at parties.
I learned the hard way. I spent 0 a month on Nutrisystem for two years, eating boring pre-packaged home-delivered food. I still gained weight. One day I met a friend for breakfast. He was enjoying delicious looking food. I sat down and unwrapped the pre-packaged breakfast I had brought with me – two pre-molded blueberry muffins. He looked up and asked, “When are you going to stop eating those hockey pucks?” I realized I had to change. I cancelled my Nutrisystem account that very day.
This is it. The real deal. The truth about diets for men.
I did a lot of research. The scary thing I found is that the weight loss “industry” is really just focused on making money – big surprise! Most of the diets for men out there are confusing, cost a lot of money and don’t get lasting results. Sadly, the “plain and simple” solutions that really do work get lost in the shuffle. In the end, I found real consistency in what most of today’s legitimate experts really think are the main issues when designing proper diets for men.
Here is a high-level look at the main points I found in these plain and simple solutions to male weight loss that will get you started in the right direction.
Eat on a schedule – do not wait until you are hungry Balance your intake to manage your blood-sugar levels and metabolism Eat the right foods – correct mix of high quality carbs and protein You don’t have to spend a lot – buy real food at the grocery store It is a lifestyle change – not a “diet”
Guys, get started now! Get a deeper explanation of these dieting truths and a look at the diets for men which are based on them. You’ll learn the “how to” specifics and take control of your life. Really.
