Weight Loss
Simply, male weight loss can be captured in a four-word phrase, “Eat less, move more.” The multi-billion dollar industry designed to help men lose weight is overwhelming evidence that weight loss is not a simple thing. Scientifically, the formula is equally straightforward and simple: “Burn more calories than you eat.” Since one pound is the equivalent of 3500 calories, you will need to burn more than that amount to lose a pound. To gain a pound, consume 3500 calories and do nothing. Gaining weight is clearly simpler! In his 1975 hit, Paul Simon enumerated “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.” There are 50 plus ways, and counting, to lose weight, and at least 50 more to maintain a healthy weight.
