Many men believe that a diet - it's fun for women, men are they to anything: the aesthetic side of the issue they are not interested, and health need to do when sick. But the latest research in the field of male obesity refute a common man's opinion.

What distinguishes the male from the female obesity

The peculiarity of the male obesity is that the vast majority of it flows through the abdominal type of deposition of fat in the abdominal area. While in obese women fat is deposited over the buttocks and hips.

Abdominal or central obesity is more dangerous because it promotes the formation of most of diseases such as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke for stroke, hypertension and diabetes Diabetes - threatening and incurable disease .

An indication of abdominal obesity in men is considered to be equal to the volume waist hips or exceeding it. In most cases, obesity is linked to endocrine disorders in the male body, in particular, to form a primary male sex hormone testosterone.

The amount of testosterone reaches its peak in 25-30 years, and then begins to decline gradually, which leads to an increase in weight. And there is a real vicious circle: the small amount of testosterone increases the reserves of fat and excess fat, in turn, causes a decrease in testosterone levels (its production blocks a special ingredient - leptin, which is produced in adipose tissue).

This condition eventually leads to the fact that a man due to lower testosterone and obesity appears a decrease in sexual activity, irritability Irritability - you try to control my temper As well as various problems gonads (prostatitis, prostate adenoma).

One way out of this situation is the diet and increasing physical activity.

Which diet need a man

Certainly not tight. If you put a man on a rigid diet, then after some time as a result of the activation of the appetite center in the brain it will have appetite, he will throw diet and instantly return all that he had lost, and even add extra kilos.

However, a diet is needed not so much diet as control calorie food intake records and adequacy of energy intake exertion. For successful weight loss is recommended to calculate calorie intake, proper physical exercise man, and then every month to reduce the calorie content of 500 kcal to achieve the numbers defining the minimum requirements. For example, men who are not engaged in active physical labor, the value of 1500-2000 kcal. Persons engaged in physical labor, usually do not have problems with excess weight.

To the diet was not a burden, you just need to exclude the foods that can increase the body fat. It's all fried, fatty, spicy, smoked food, alcohol (including beer), fatty meat. Less concerned with men other products, which will also be banned: sweets, cakes, ice cream, sodas.

Meat and fish are low-fat varieties is possible and even necessary. You also need to eat more low-fat cottage cheese, cheese, dairy products. Very good for digestion and metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   affect products containing a large amount of complex carbohydrates: vegetables, grains of cereals (buckwheat and oatmeal). Simple carbohydrates (glucose and fructose) may be obtained from the fruit.

And another thing: you need to eat more frequently, up to 5-6 times a day but small portions, then there is no hunger, and the gastrointestinal tract is constantly expend energy for processing food.

What about emergencies?

• 300 g of any vegetables (fresh, boiled, baked) or 100 g boiled (steamed), beans or lentils, vegetable soup, or borscht (portion - 250 ml), a small piece of cheese, a cup of yogurt, 200 g of cottage cheese - 5 points;
• a slice of bread, biscuits, apple is medium in size, 100g garnish (potatoes, pasta, cereal), a glass of dry wine, a glass of freshly squeezed juice - 10 points;
• any candy or cake, two slices of dark chocolate Bitter chocolate: the benefits and harms health and beauty Two tablespoons of any jam, jam, honey, two teaspoons of sugar, a tablespoon of butter, mayonnaise or vegetable oil - 20 points.
