Curvier men
-
Armbands, a belly, a buttocks that are far from flat, developing mammary glands, even in men excess kilos leave visible marks. But men have an advantage, they lose body weight more easily than women, but like women, they have to intervene to reverse the weight gain.
Prolonged effort
-
Man is endowed by nature with a few benefits, but that doesn't mean miracles exist. A man who goes on a diet can only succeed if he changes his dietary habits and if he takes more exercise. It doesn't have to be heroic efforts, an hour of brisk walking a day (with the dog for example) and swimming a few times a week is more effective than an hour of squash a week and no major lifestyle changes.
Typically masculine things to avoid
-
Systematically not or barely eating breakfast Not eating breakfast promotes weight gain and eating snacks that are usually either too fat or have too much sugar. It is better to make time for a balanced and complete breakfast. Scientific research has also shown that it improves your performance at work.

With snacks throughout the day
-
To avoid snacks, make sure your set meals are not too light and respect the rhythm of three main meals and two optional small meals. Get rid of all candy, chocolate or other bars, nuts and so on. If the appetite becomes too great, you can eat a piece of fruit or a dairy product.
Addicted to caffeine
-
A cup of coffee with a lot of sugar and a biscuit provides quite a few calories, especially when it does not stop at one or two cups! Alternate coffee with water or opt for pure coffee without caffeine with possibly a tablet of sweetener, at most a cloud of milk and without biscuit.
Heavy lunches
-
A short lunch with a sandwich, a packet of frit with a boulet, a dish of the day or a business lunch, always watch out for excesses! Instead of the eternal martino, chicken curry or salami sandwiches, it is wiser to opt for ham or cheese with vegetables. Also think of a salad or a cup of soup with a little bread.

Just give me another block of cheese!
-
Even though you love cheese, cheese with every meal is too much of a good thing. If the cheese is not "light" then it can contain a lot of calories, depending on the type. Cheese once a day is possible and preferably at home instead of a cheese and wine dish in a restaurant! The ideal amount of cheese per day is 30 to 50 g.
It's just bread ...
-
No, it is not "just" bread, especially if there is a good layer of butter on every sandwich! Bread is a food that has many advantages, but eating the whole bread basket before the meal is on the table is not a good idea. One or two slices of bread or a small sandwich is more than enough if bread is not the main meal.
Excessive drinking with friends
-
A glass of red wine provides 70 kcal, a rum with cola = 115 kcal, a beer contains no less than 110 kcal and a brown Chimay is good for 230 kcal. As you can see, the number of calories increases quickly and fiercely. During the week it is better to stick to water that contains no calories and is the best thirst quencher. During the weekend you can have a drink, but in moderation. Not only because it is dangerous, but also because alcohol consumption contributes to weight gain.

Eating in front of the television
-
Eating in front of the television, for many people it is a habit that people no longer think about, it happens almost unconsciously! And usually it is not about carrots or florets of cauliflower. The cure? Do not eat while watching TV! Water, coffee or tea is allowed, but beer and lemonade are not allowed. And if men didn't know why, they do now!
No starch for me
-
Contrary to popular belief, starch is not fattening! Rather, it is what you eat with it that causes problems: breading, deep-frying, generously topped with rich sauce, etc. Natural or with spices give starchy foods energy and also a good feeling of satiety, which is ideal for satisfying the appetite for snacks. So-called Low Carb diets are more or less effective, but they don't help you to change your eating habits. The risk of "relapsing" after dieting is therefore real.
The carnivore
-
Meat should also be consumed in moderation: 125 to 150 grams of meat per day is sufficient. Prefer lean meat and poultry (without skin), fish and shellfish. Caution is also advised with the so-called hidden fats in dishes such as meat in sauce or stews and charcuterie to name just a few examples. Also consider low-fat cooking methods: oven, microwave, steaming, baking in pans with a non-stick coating, etc.

A few more tips
-
Don't be too generous with oil and vinaigrette, rather choose herbs to give your food more flavor. Also limit the consumption of ice cream, pastry, cake, chocolate, appetizers, nuts, etc.
