It seems that most men seem to automatically start gaining weight between the ages of 30 and 40 even if ther has been no apparent change in their eating habits. And unlike their younger counterparts, dropping those extra pounds and maintaining that lower weight gets harder and harder the older we get. This post will attempt to clear the mysteries about weight loss tips for men.
While watching other men I’ve also noticed that when men over a certain age lose the weight it isn’t long before they put it back on. Most will be able to keep it off for ten or twelve weeks but then the weight slowly returns. Oddly enough, it also seems that the exact reverse appears to happen when older women lose weight: they seem to stay in shape for years without sliding backwards.
Why do older men struggle so much with losing weight and not regaining it? I believe it’s centered around motivation. In my youth when I wanted to impress the ladies I had no trouble staying focused on my workouts, and quickly doing a few extra miles if I gained a few pounds. Now that I’m older I usually don’t get motivated until I’m 20 or 30 lbs overweight. Of course, it’s not that I don’t realize I’m gaining weight, rather I really don’t want to make the effort to lose it like I did when I was young.
Most men look at weight loss as just another problem they need to solve, and it gets resolved based on a priority system that puts a lot less priority on looking good the older we get. when it gets to he top of our “to do” list, it’s not a problem to stay focused on losing the weight until it’s accomplished. Then we simply move on to the next problem we need to solve, and while we’re doing that, the weight we worked so hard to lose creeps back on.
Even some guys that exercise all the time still seem to struggle keeping weight off in their 40s or 50s unless they watch their diets very closely. and no man wants to do that? I think as we age and can no longer do some of the things we enjoyed when we were younger, the food we eat becomes even more a source of pleasure and most middle age men hate to be on any kind of diet that won’t let us eat the foods we really love. If we do manage to stay on a diet long enough, there’s no doubt in the back of our minds that hit our target weight we are going on a feeding frenzy.
So what’s the best weight loss for men solution for guys who want to drop a few pounds but also don’t want to give up their junk food long term or continuing to find themselves back on a strict diet? I think the answer may lie in a new diet practice called intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting works on the idea that your daily caloric intake can be maintained but your weekly or monthly intake can be reduced by fasting one or two times a week. Since your overall calorie intake is less than your expenditure, you will lose weight but you won’t feel like you’re on a diet because most days you’re eating the same things you normally eat.
Of course a little exercise or maybe choosing steamed vegetables over mashed potatoes with gravy will certainly help; but you certainly don’t have to watch what you eat twenty four-seven, just know when not to eat at all. And if most men are like me, they will not have much difficulty skipping meals once or twice a week when they know that when they resume eating they can pretty much eat whatever they want. It may just be the perfect way to drop those middle aged pounds. It’s simple, it’s scientific, and it doesn’t require a lot of sacrifice. Almost perfect.
