When it comes to physical appearance, it is obvious that men and women are quite different from each other. How can they use the same tips and techniques for losing weight? Although there are a lot of things that overlap, some things should be done differently in order to achieve the goal of a more lean body.
Here are some weight loss tips that are specifically for men:
You Can’t Simply Eat Less
For men to lose weight effectively, the first thing that they need to realize is that working out is essential. This does not necessarily mean that you have to go into a heavy workout mode. Weight loss experts have recommended cardio and light weight lifting with fast reps to be effective for men trying to lose weight.
Testosterone is Key
The main reason why men can’t just eat less to achieve a healthier looking body is because men need testosterone to get back into shape. Eating less tends to become a reason for lower levels of testosterone in men. Working out helps bring those testosterone levels up. Both a mix of healthy eating and working out is key for men aiming for weight loss.
Eat Effectively
Men trying to lose weight need to understand that eating less will not work. When you eat less, your body tends to get the illusion that you are starving, which triggers the body to start storing excess fat from everything you eat. Which means you may be eating less, but the amount of fat getting stored is the same. Our diet experts have created specific diet plans that help you to eat at set intervals that allow your body reach its maximum potential.
Add More Protein in Your Life
Protein is the secret to getting a more lean and defined body. Replacing most of your carbohydrates with proteins can help you lose weight faster, but it has to be done effectively by introducing protein to every meal. Contrary to popular belief, only having it once a day as a lump sum is not the answer.
Stand Upright
According to experts on weight loss, your posture makes a lot of difference in helping you lose weight. Why is that? Standing upright forces your core to engage causing less of your belly to “pop out” as you walk or stand. The posture automatically adds a boost of confidence to your persona. A person who slouches will give off a lazy vibe. Improve your posture and get started on looking trim and fit.
Use Proteins Shakes as a Meal
Using shakes to replace your meals can help you build up muscle. More muscle means less fat. The perfect time to have your shake is within twenty minutes of completing your work out.
Keep Motivating Yourself
A study has shown that men are prone to falling off the weight loss wagon a lot faster than women. Keep yourself motivated and remind yourself of the goal you want and need to achieve. This can be done by buying a shirt with a smaller size and wanting to fit into it by the end of the next couple of months or taking a picture of your body everyday to see the difference that your efforts are making.
