In my experience, male dieters tend to be more focused than female dieters. Even so, many men find it difficult to remain on their diet long enough for them to achieve lasting weight reduction. So here are a few tips to make things a little easier

           Instead of focusing on calories and thinking “I must diet”, say to yourself: “I’m improving my eating habits in order to improve my health and quality of life.” You may even motivate yourself by calculating the reduced health insurance costs you will achieve by getting into shape. Also, be aware that while the average American male enjoys a reasonable life-span, up to a decade of this is spent in bad health. Normalizing your weight can significantly reduce this risk of ill-health in old age.

           There is no one-size-fits-all diet plan that suits every man. Furthermore, avoiding ALL your favorite foods is not a winning weight loss strategy. As long as your daily eating plan is calorie-controlled (1800-2000 calories) and includes enough nutrition, you should be able to include some occasional treats without adversely affecting your weight loss. So feel free to customize your chosen diet plan or seek a personal plan from a registered dietitian.

           If you really want to reduce your obesity, be extra-choosy when dining out or ordering take-out food. Invest in a calorie guide and choose lighter meals. For example: (1) Do not order deep-fried food. (2) Look for lower-calorie appetizers, such as salads, non-creamy soups, fish platter. (3) Avoid main meals with sauces. Ask for them “on the side”. Choose plain fish, broiled lean steak, or tomato-based pasta. (4) Make sure half your plate contains vegetables, without added oil or butter. (5) For dessert, choose any fresh fruit dish, and if offered cream say No. If these suggestions are too irksome, you should avoid eating out until you feel more comfortable about making healthy food choices.

          To begin with, alcohol contains zero nutrition. In addition, its calorie content is quite high – about 7 calories per gram. Drinking two regular Martinis a day adds up to about 117,000 calories per year – the equivalent of about 33 pounds of body fat. Two glasses of beer a day amounts to nearly as much
