A Diet for Men
Men don't like dieting but a growing stomach poses considerable risks to health. The good news is that a healthy diet for men can be relatively easy.
Dieting for Men
By Dietitian, Juliette Kellow BSc RD
On the face of it, dieting should be easier for men: they have a higher metabolic rate than women and a lower propensity to store fat.
Men's Particular Weight Problem
The problem for men tends to be fat accumulating around their abdomen, making them "apple shaped". This is known to increase the risk of weight-related diseases, especially coronary heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. A waist measurement of over 37 inches indicates a slight health risk, whilst over 40 inches indicates a substantially increased risk.
For more in depth information on looking after your heart see my How to Have a Healthy Heart Diet article.
Changing Shape
Most men don't like the idea of dieting - perhaps because it seems too much of a girl thing. And, in fact, men shouldn't follow a diet designed for females - men need more calories and are more likely to be successful if they eat "proper" meals they feel satisfied with.
The Best Diet for Men
The best diet strategy for men is the non-diet strategy. Small and subtle changes to your eating, drinking and exercise habits that won't embarrass you in front of friends and colleagues. The emphasis should be on health, fitness and looking after yourself.
For example, if you take something as simple as a smoothie, men prefer the green smoothie as it is made with veg rather than fruit.
A healthy diet can be easily achieved with the tools and databases in Weight Loss Resources. It works out how many calories you need, and enables you to see where you could make adjustments that suit your tastes and lifestyle.
Best of all, you can try it free.
