Men's Weight Loss Tips if you do not want to be a couch potato

Men's weight loss can be quite a challenge. Men tend to eat bigger portions and use food and beverages as a way of male bonding. These combined factors can lead to increased belly sizes, which can then lead to increased risks for heart attacks. Because of this, men need to adopt special strategies in weight loss from how to hit the gym to curbing the weekend diet.
It is much more difficult to lose weight and keep it today than it was 20 years ago and because there is a great tendency at present to eat more and move less. The cheapest foods are often the unhealthiest. Physical activity has decreased due to various devices, but also because entertainment is often sedentary, such as television and computer games. Finally, do not forget the fact that the people making sedentary work have increased substantially, ie spend eight to ten hours a day sitting in an office.

The prevalence of obesity among American men has doubled in only 25 years, and it’s killing us. A 2004 survey published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 71% of men 20 years old and over were overweight and 31% were obese. The same survey conducted in the late 1970s had found 47% of men were overweight and 15% were obese.

It isn’t good to be fat, but there’s just so much good food and so many ways of entertaining ourselves from a swivel chair or a couch. As a result, a host of health issues linked to obesity threatens us unless we learn how to push back from the table earlier and head out the door for a walk or something faster more often.

Losing Weight is not a dream, it is a good Motivation!

Girls can lose weight quickly only if they want and are seriously motivated  to do this. I decided to reveal you an interesting successful story of such a girl. 

With the help of fun gym classes and healthy snacks, this girl, named Brandi Byers, lost 40 pounds in time for her own wedding.

Growing up, Brandi Byers stayed active by playing basketball and taking fitness classes, and she ate lots of salad. Still, her figure was more like "a football player's," she says, than like those of her slim, fit friends. And when she began attending Arizona State University, she grew careless with her eating habits. 

"My best friend and I got an apartment—and too many groceries," recalls the 29-year-old e-learning training consultant from Phoenix. "By sophomore year, my eating was out of control." Along with scarfing too many bagels and bowls of pasta, Brandi let her workouts wane. She packed 40 pounds onto her 5'3" frame in just 18 months.

Amazing Change
Several months before Brandi was to be a bridesmaid in her best friend's October 2009 wedding, she couldn't squeeze into the gown she'd ordered. "I could never tell my friend that I couldn't be in her wedding because my dress didn't fit!" she says. She vowed not only to sport the size-6 dress but to shed the extra pounds for good.

The Lifestyle
Brandi started slowly, eating smaller meals and bringing snacks of veggies and fruit to work. To avoid flaking on workouts, she kept fitness clothes in her car and drove straight to the gym after work to jump on a stair-climber or catch a kickboxing or spin class and lift weights. "There was no room for excuses," she says. "I had done this to myself, and I was determined to undo it!" Brandi got down to 135 pounds—enough to fit into the bridesmaid dress. By September 2010, she reached her goal weight in time for her own wedding.

The Reward
Today, the bridesmaid dress that wouldn't zip is two sizes too big. "I have more confidence than ever," she says, "and a lot more energy. I feel completely revived!"

Brandi's Tips
Dress greens for success. "I mix lemon juice, olive oil, and Dijon mustard to drizzle on salads. It's delicious and saves calories."
Pass on seconds. "Those should be your leftovers. If you push the food away, then you'll get to enjoy it again the following day."
Trim your treats. "I order the children's size when it comes to ice cream and fro-yo. You need only a smidgen to satisfy a sweet tooth."
