Weight Loss For Men Over 40 Who Hope To Live Long Lives

By Neva Lane


Weight loss for men over 40 is a critical topic for at least two reasons. In the first place middle aged men have more difficulty in losing fat than other groups of people do. In men fat is deposited in a paunch around the midriff from where it will not budge. In the second case obesity in men can lead to other serious problems such as diabetes, impotence and heart attacks ending in demise.

The dangers of obesity lead to a very rich literature on the subject of what to do about it. Surveying the many books, articles and websites devoted to the subject ones notices that certain remedies get mentioned more often than others. This is useful because it soon becomes apparent that the things that come up in many different contexts must be important.

One group of strategies have in common the submission of the individual to a procedure which removes from him most of the responsibility for the desired end. Surgical procedures are perhaps the most obvious of these. Liposuction and stomach reduction seem to be extremely expensive and invasive solutions and are probably most used when things have got badly out of control.

Men who decide to take matters into their own hands must first confront the diet issue. There is little problem in finding out information on this in modern times. Apart from many websites offering advice there is information in almost every packet of food and on the TV. Most people know what they should and should not eat but they are encumbered with eating habits that have been with them for about forty years. The bad habits did not matter when they were younger but require an iron will to break at the age of forty plus.

Exercise may well become a scarce indulgence as men enter middle age laden with domestic and career responsibilities. One day may succeed another in which there seems to be no time for the sort of exercise that one engaged in easily when younger. One day a man may glance down to notice that his toes have disappeared. By this time the situation has already become serious but it may be very difficult to find the necessary time and energy to take corrective exercise.

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.

Although diet and exercise are essential aspects of lifestyle change they are not as easy to implement as it might at first seem. Human behavior is seldom completely sensible. People can and do eat themselves to death irrationally. Some people hate exercise.

One peculiarity of human behavior is that when people pay for something they treat it with great respect. Thus, clients who pay a doctor high fees treat him with much more respect than clients who pay no fees at all. Because of this peculiarity it could pay well for a man to pay for an expensive online weight loss for men over forty program. Having paid he for it he may have the will to follow it enthusiastically and perseveringly.
