Is it just me, or do all men seem to automatically start gaining weight between the ages of 30 and 40 even if they haven’t made any obvious changes to their lifestyle. And unlike their younger counterparts, dropping those extra pounds and keeping it off gets harder and harder the older we get. In this article we’re going to look at the specific issues surrounding weight loss tips for men.

In observing the men around me it also seems that when men of a certain age lose the weight they usually don’t keep it off for long. Most will be able to keep it off for a few months or so but then the weight slowly returns. Oddly enough, it also seems that the exact opposite appears to happen when middle aged women get in shape: it seems they stay fit for a very long time before they begin losing ground.

Why do men over forty 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 girls I had no trouble sticking to my fitness schedule, 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. Not that I don’t see it happening, 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 job they need to tackle, 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 the goal 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 men who regularly go to the gym still seem to struggle keeping weight off in their 40s or 50s unless they watch their diets very closely. But who wants to do that? As we get older and can no longer do some of the things we enjoyed when we were younger, our foods become even more enjoyable for us and most older guys hate to be on any kind of diet that is going to take our junk food away from us. If we do manage to stay on a diet long enough, there’s no doubt in the back of our minds that as soon as[spin] we [spin]reach our goal weight we are going on an eating binge.

So what’s the best weight loss for men solution for guys who want to lose some weight without giving up their junk food long term or continuing to have to put themselves back on a strict diet? I believe the answer may lie in a new dieting program 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.
