Real Men Dont Diet?!

Real men eat and eat and eat and eat! Right? Between frozen dinners that have designated larger man size portions to commercial advertising that represents men being real men only when they eat large amounts of food, many men face breaking a tough social attitude created by commercial advertising, when they decide to eat less and lose unhealthy excess weight.

When a woman is on a diet it is generally accepted as a necessary and proper plan of action. Who disagrees? In fact, for women it can be more than discomforting when everyone is in such unanimous agreement to their weight loss plan! Commercial advertising in fact fuels that push and the acceptance to such an extreme that it has created eating disorders in women.

But men face the opposite reality because men are expected to eat, eat a lot and keep on eating without end to the food faire. The great majority of men do not focus on male fashion models to determine manliness and advertisers know it. Instead, the focus for men is a man eating and eating and eating. Even recent articles written by these self described real men have popped up on the internet as men speak to men about forgetting about dieting because they will lose their position as real men if they do it.

But when it comes to reality what good is it for a commercially designed real man to suffer the multitude of unhealthy results including heart conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes, to name just a few. Will he still feel like a real man when he suffers through conditions that sap strength, sap virility, sap life?

A real man is not defined by the food consumption that he undertakes on a regular basis. That philosophy, is simply the scheme of advertisers and sometimes even other men, that feed men a way of life that is very unhealthy. But they are not going to live that life they are just going to make their goal of profits from the purchase of those extra large portioned more expensive foods, or get loaded on the feeling of power in having controlled the thinking of another man right down to how he lives his life!

The writing is on the wall for all men and women alike. Overeating and living at an excess weight is harmful to your health. That is not a debatable fact it is indisputable truth. Overeating, whether it be men or women, has a result that is physiological harmful to the individual. Men do not have a protective manly barrier to the unhealthful effects of existing with excess weight and thus they should ignore the philosophy that buying into it causes such an unhealthy result for the one life they have to live.

Being a real man does not mean you have to not care about yourself or be brave and eat yourself to illness and it never did. For all the men that have delayed losing their excess weight due to a misconception that doing so will turn you into a wimp, know that losing that excess weight and getting fit in reality means that you will be stronger, more virile and live healthier longer. Forget about self interested companies and people who feed off others in an unhealthy way for you. It is tough to ignore all of that constant pressure, but know that when you do take the stand to do the right thing for your health by losing excess unhealthy weight, you will end up feeling like more of a man in the end, not like less of man and that is an indisputable fact!

Turn your health around, turn your life around and get started losing your excess weight by eating right and exercising. It is going to change your life for good in a way that is only good. Start today!
