Men's diet club
Hi
I have noticed that few men tend to use weigh****chers type clubs. My suspicion is that they don't feel comfortable talking about weightloss and body image in front of women - and also there are some issues and facts that are peculiar to men that will tend to be overlooked in a women biased club. So - if you are male, would you use a weighloss club that was exclusively male and if so, what would you expect it to be like or provide that is different to, for example, weigh****chers? |

There are many things that could be tailored for men. This is mostly due to the fact that all systems are geared to women. For the same reason you rob banks...it is where the money (at least historically). I think you have struck on the number one issue however. It is a support system that 1) we feel comfortable in sharing vulnerabilities, 2) has people to whom we can most easily relate, 3) provides role- models, and 4) encourages comradery and friendly/supportive competition. I am a believer in using human/male nature rather than trying to change it. For many men supportive competition is an effect tool in the fight against weight loss. Do you know of any resources? I am based in Minnesota. |

Weight Watchers online has its men section, and I am sure you could find a meeting with men or do it mostly online: http://tinyurl.com/2xxaa6 NutriSystem has meals etc for men: http://tinyurl.com/ujvjy And if you get into many workout plans, they offer advice geared to men: http://johnberardi.com/articles/nutrition/ http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bbmainnut.htm joanne |
