1. Men and Women, Different BodiesIt is worth bearing in mind that men have a much
more developed muscle mass than women. Indeed, men have 7 to 8 kg more muscle, i.e. an average of 1 kg of muscle eliminates an extra 18 kcal per day at rest! As you will have realised, they
burn more calories per day than women, which means that they can
lose weight faster.
In addition, they tend to snack less than their female counterparts. Unfair but true! In addition, men gain relatively more weight in the upper part of their body (stomach, chin, neck, etc.) A man is generally thought to be overweight if his waist size is between 94 and 102 cm. Beyond this point, he is said to be obese and it's time to go on a diet!
As is the case for women, a solid
balanced diet must be found that will not compromise the health of the person's body and mind. The goal is to reduce calorie intake while doing sports regularly. For men, who have a tendency to love junk food, it is not easy but it is quite possible!
2. Eat HealthyIn order to balance your diet, it is advisable to combine slow carbohydrates (cereals, potatoes, etc.) with vegetable fats, proteins with vegetables, cereals with leguminous plants (lentils, dried peas, beans, soya, etc.) or cereals with light proteins (egg, lean ham, etc.) during your meals. Warning: vegetarian or soup-based diets should be avoided by men because they are not quite substantial enough. Finally, you have to balance the meals according to the time of the day.A Well Balanced Lunch, At lunchtime, when your stomach is crying out for food, resist temptation and eat a
balanced meal!
Opt for a sandwich with white meat and wholemeal bread and no mayonnaise. You can also combine meat with vegetables, yoghurt and water.
