Weight Loss For Men Over 40 Is Essential

By Jack Fernandez


There are two very good reason why weight loss for men over 40 is a very good idea. Firstly they are very likely to die of some side effect of being fats such as diabetes or heart attack if they do not shed excess fat. Secondly, it is very difficult for men to lose weight and if they do nothing about it they are likely to simply expand as they dig their own graves with their spoons.

There is a plethora of articles, books and website that give advice in this topic. A survey of the many different strategies reveals certain important points that come up repeatedly and are therefore most likely to be effective because they are widely acknowledged. Diet and exercise are among these oft mentioned strategies.

Radical diet programs, appetite suppressants and even surgical procedures may be resorted to when an individual has a severe problem. He may be ready to transfer responsibility for the problem to someone else, being unable to cope on his own recognizances. This is most likely to be the case when something has to be done, but the individual feels unable to do it.

For those tackling the problem themselves a diet plan is essential. It does not require much expertise to pick up from the the information on labels and pamphlets that junk foods, fats and processed foods should be avoided, or that portion sizes should be cut down to about one fifth of what one has been used to. The problem lies in finding the will power to break habits that have been ingrained forty years or more.

Exercise is another obvious and much mooted solution. Again the benefits of exercise are fairly obvious. In addition, many men actually enjoy exercise and would be quite happy to exercise all day. However the sad facts are that food has to be placed on the family table and domestic chores need doing. This means that there may simply not be time to engage in the amount of exercise needed by a man who suddenly finds himself middle aged.

From such observations it seems apparent that an effective weight loss program requires the adoption of a suitable lifestyle. As far as diet goes one has to convince oneself that a light salad and fish washed down with water is more tasty than french fries and a pork chop smothered in rich sauce. In respect of exercise one has to put time aside for it. In addition strategies such as running up and own stairs at work.

Lifestyle changes are matters of common sense to a large extent but common sense is not always easy to implement, especially when it entails the changing of ingrained habits. Therefore, determination, discipline and will power are essential.

Another strange oddity of human behavior is that the more a person pays for something the greater belief and respect he has for it. Teachers at expensive private schools are treated with great respect but those in completely free schools are complained about and criticized. Similarly if a person invests in an expensive weight loss for men over 40 program he will be more likely to carry it out than he would be if he worked out exactly the same steps for himself without paying a penny.
