Surfing Hawaii


As a surfing enthusiast, you know how great the experience is whenever you're out in the water. It can be very stimulating and you'll feel free and no one will be there to stop you from enjoying your time in the water. You may have been too many surfing destinations to practice your skills and also to have some fun and you know that you relish every time you get in the water and ride the big one. All the same, this can easily be messed up if there are just too many individuals in those places you surf on. So, here are some of the best kept secrets in the world of surfing. The first is Honolulu, Hawaii. 

 

We all know that Hawaii is known to be the surfer's heaven and that you think that you'll find it hard to find a private beach to surf in. All the same, there's a surf spot around Honolulu, Hawaii that's just beginning to be found. It's just a little way off downtown and you will need to look a bit in order for you to find this beach. You will need to trek a path that is considered to be a bit dangerous. Also, the waves here aren't packing all the time but when it does, you will experience some of the best surfing there is on the entire island. 

 

The second is Lanuza, Surigao del Sur, Philippines. This spot in this island country is one of the best kept secrets in surfing. Despite the fact that this place is known to host major surfing competitions, you need to consider that it's quite hard to get there. In fact, it will take you five hours or so from the airport just to get there. Siargao is also known to be the country's top surfing destination, which overshadows this spot. 

 

Oahu, Hawaii is also another place where you will find a secluded place to surf in. You will be able to find this secluded area east of Oahu, where you will experience fantastic beaches, and clean waves. The place is virtually empty of people and like other secret surfing spots, it will be hard to get there that only surfing fanatics will really face the challenge. The place can be a challenge to get to but when you get there, the rewards are regular waves, fantastic beaches, and great scenery. Summer is the best time to visit as the waves will be a lot cleaner and bigger. Lake Michigan, Sheboygan, Wisconsin is another surfing destination that houses a secret surfing spot. Known as The Elbow, this place is only for experienced and most fearless surfers. 

 

The water is frigid and that there should be a storm nearby in order to generate the large waves. The danger itself is what stops most surfers from visiting but if you're the type of person who loves a challenge and you think about living life to the edge, then you should definitely try going to this place. So, if you really prefer to surf in peace, you may want to test some of the mentioned destinations. You are able to be sure that these places will be able to fulfill your cravings for channel-surfing.

 


Extreme Waves of the World for the Extreme Surfing Enthusiast


Surfing is certainly a fun sport to do. All the same, there will come a time when surfers will prefer to experience more intriguing and more extreme waves. Just where can one find these extreme waves? If you're already an expert surfer and you prefer to test your skills. Here are some of the most extreme waves that the world has to offer. 

 

First, you need to remember that surfers measure waves from the back. What this means is that if the biggest wave of the day was 30 feet according to the surfers, you'll find that the people keeping an eye on the other side of the wave will be riding a wave that can be as high as sixty feet. Imagine, if you surf a wave like this, it would be like running away from a collapsing six-story building. In Cyclops, Western Australia, you'll find the heaviest and the more serious waves that the country has to offer. This wave is seldom surfed as its dangerous and most surfers choose using body boards as the waves here break on to shallow rocks. The wave here in Cyclops, Western Australia is a right-hand wave which breaks on a coral reef. It's a fast, hollow, and powerful wave which ranges quite high in the ratings. One surfer even said that surfing it is one of the most epic things that he did in his life. Tahiti is recognized as one of the most popular destinations for big wave surfers. Although the waves here are serious, you can’t help but admire the sheer beauty of it.

 

Teahupoo, Tahiti will be able to provide you with some of the most extreme waves that you'll ever ride in your life. All the same, keep in mind that the waves here have claimed lives, so you might want to think about surfing the big waves here first as it even brought one of the best big wave surfers, Laird Hamilton, close to tears after a fantastic ride. 

 

Belharra, France is another marvelous spot for big wave surfers. Located 2 kilometers outside Saint Jean de Luz in the French Basque region, you'll see that this wave can be very dangerous. Surfing here is for expert surfers only. These are some of the big waves that the world has to offer. If you have a death wish or you think that you have what it takes to be like Laird Hamilton, then you can try surfing some of the big waves mentioned. Just be sure that you really have the skills for it as the waves here are very dangerous.

 


The Maldives Islands


The Maldives Islands is a paradise for individuals who love the beach. Commonly, the Maldives Islands are a place that scuba divers prefer to visit because of the great dive sites it houses. Nevertheless, the Maldives Islands are now also really popular as a surfing destination where thousands of surfers from other parts of the globe visit annually. Thanks to the O'Neill Deep Blue Contest held in the mid 90s here in the Maldives Islands, surfing became very popular here.

 

With lots of phenomenal breaks, you are able to be certain that you'll be able to have a lot of fun surfing here. All the same, the only issue is that few of these breaks will be within the tourism district. You'll need to hire a guide and go to a different part of the Maldives Islands in order to search for the different beaches that have the most fantastic breaks that you are able to surf on. In addition to, these breaks will be surf able within the months of March and November. It's important to remember that you have to plan ahead when you're thinking about surfing in the Maldives Islands. 

 

Since the fact that this place is really popular among beach lovers and surfers alike, you'll find it hard to reserve a place to stay and even harder for you to acquire a plane to Maldives Islands. As a matter of fact, people reserve early, it can even be out of the question for you to reserve a month ahead of your trip. This is why it's important for you to also reserve your trip and your accommodation way before the surfing season. You have to bear in mind that the Maldives Islands isn't a place where you are able to just turn up with your board and surf the waves. You genuinely need to plan your trip. Between May and November, the southwest monsoon will hit the Maldives Islands. During this time, you'll be able to usually experience fantastic surfing as it is on this time that you'll be able to get the best breaks. You also need to remember that June is the month where big storms hit the Maldives Islands which means that surfing will be no good during this month. 

 

Nevertheless, if you're an advanced surfer or you're more adventurous and is an individual looking for that sense of risk, then this is the month that you prefer to surf in the Maldives Islands. With huge swells, you'll be able to ride through the storms and really have an adrenaline rush doing it. Maldives Islands offers some of the best surfing in the world. So, if you're planning to go on a surfing vacation, you might prefer trying to book a trip for Maldives Islands. Once you experience surfing here, you are able to be sure that you'll want to come back for more.

A Man's Secrets to Successful Online Dating


People have taken to online dating like a duck takes to water...because it works...or, at least, it can work. Women are, in general, terrified of meeting a man that she has been chatting with online. All they have heard about are the scary things that can happen...and, I must say, they have a right to be careful to the extreme. That’s not only wise but vital. So what’s a nice guy to do? You aren’t a pervert, a sexual predator, or a weirdo. You are just a nice guy looking for “the” girl for you. 

 

You must be patient. Don’t press her for personal information like her real name or where she lives. Keep your conversations light and fun until she feels comfortable talking with you online. Don’t try to rush her into meeting face-to-face. She will think you are desperate or a pervert. Patience. Patience. Patience. 

 

Be absolutely honest about your physical appearance and job. A good relationship has never been, and will never be, built on lies and deceit. Eventually she will find out the truth anyway and there you are back at square one. 

 

A picture really is worth a thousand words. Post many pictures of yourself doing your everyday activities and make them full body shots, not just head shots. If you were dating a girl in the real world she wouldn’t just see your head. 

 

Once the discussion has been opened about meeting face-to-face for the first time, suggest that you meet in a very public place, during daylight hours and that she bring a friend with her. After all, you have nothing to hide. You’ve told her the truth about yourself and she has already seen a lot of pictures of you. The only thing left is to make her feel safe meeting you.

 


Ask the Right Questions First


OK. You have joined a couple of dating services and written a killer profile. You’ve uploaded a good picture and now you are going to chat with a contact. What now? How do you start separating those who have real potential and those who don’t have any potential at all? You need to find out something about who this strange woman really is and not just who she wants you to believe she is. It would be nice if women wore labels like “Gold Digger” or “Daddy’s girl”... but they don’t so it’s up to you to find these things out and you can’t just ask direct questions. You need to know what mistakes you can avoid making and how to impress this lady if you decide you want to do that. 

 

After you are past the initial small talk, ask her, “What are the biggest mistakes guys make when dating online?” Listen carefully to her answers. She’s going to tell you a lot about herself and her views on men in general. 

 

Next you should ask her, “What do you really think about online dating?” Now she will tell you if she has had any bad experiences dating o line and help you to avoid making the same things wrong. 

 

Now for the all-important one.....”What caused the break up in your last relationship?” If she puts all the blame on the guy, you should probably move on to the next prospect. If she takes all the blame herself, you should probably do the same. If she says the breakup was by mutual consent or that the relationship just wasn’t right for either of them, you’ve heard the right answer. Move forward but always with caution. 

 

Asking the right questions will give you insight and make you more confident when you meet the lady for the first time.

The Only Five Ways to Get Ex-Girlfriend Back


Has your ex-girlfriend left you for some reason or the other you may or may not know of? Then, take a chance to get back your ex-girlfriend. However, do not be pertinacious to get her back; just give a try from your side. Here are some steps that may help you to get back ex-girlfriend.


  • The first mistake that many do is constantly pestering their girlfriends with calls and texts. This is an absolute no-no if you truly want to get back your girlfriend. Instead of going behind her, analyze the point as to why she left you your mistakes. Take this time off and analyze yourself. Improve yourself for the better in terms of both looks and inner self, and then after few weeks call her up. 

  • After few weeks when you call her up, talk to her politely and leave hints that you were rethinking of getting back with your ex-girlfriend. However, do not say this directly. Also, give her the time and space to think about you. One thing that you must keep in mind is if your ex-girlfriend really loved and cared for you, she might reconsider coming back after you apologize your mistakes and mend them. 

  • When you have called her up a few times and she is quite comfortable in your company once again, ask her for a day out with you. She might be a little hesitant at first. Therefore, give her the time to make her mind up to go out on a date with you. 

  • On the first date that you go out with her after break up, be at your best. However, it is advisable not to be overly nice and not to be the person you are not. Think of the days when she first fell in love with you. You have to have those qualities within you when she was first attracted to you. Your ex-girlfriend will want you to be the same as you were in those days. Therefore, you have to be prepared with all these before going out on a date with your ex-girlfriend after break up. 

  • Finally, do not hurry to win her back. Give the required time to frame up her mind and then when both of you feel confident of each other once again and the feelings develop, then say her directly that you want to revive the relationship once again.

 

Thus, these are some tips to win back an ex-girlfriend. However, in general, winning back an ex-girlfriend depends on the willingness of both parties.

Online Dating May Be Hard


Here’s a little mystery that those of the female persuasion hide from us men: Women, even really beautiful women, like to be approached by a surefooted and intriguing man. Are you amazed? It’s truthful... and surefooted and intriguing are much more crucial than looks to women of all ages, also. That is real for internet dating, likewise as, dating in your brick-and-mortar domain but we’re discussing online dating here... so back to the matter at hand.  

 

When you have linked up with an internet dating service, you will discover that there a lot more guys than ladies and that the guys are much more expected to Search profiles and make initial contacts than ladies. Yes, it’s a woman’s domain... yet. It’s “traditional” for guys to establish the first move. It forever has been and it forever will be. A few things never shift. That’s why your profile and image are so crucial.

 

Remember... surefooted and intriguing... and that doesn't translate to cocky and egocentric. It’s crucial that your profile lets individuals know that you have acquaintances you care about and that you're passionately interested in an assortment of matters... not simply athletics. A different thing about that all important profile... please do not begin it with, “I’m the man your mom warned you about”.

 

You'll have just blasted yourself in the foot with that message. A different one to never utilize is, “I may be the gentleman of your dreams”. The lady wishes you are however she will be the judge of that... so do not insult her smarts. Remember... ooze assurance and be intriguing and you'll discover that lady you have been searching for... or she will discover you.

 

Won’t it be nice to have the women getting hold of you rather than you having to do everything? If you compose a good profile that stands out in the crew, that will materialize.



Decent Guys Use Online Dating


I’m discussing online dating here, naturally. When the phenomenon of net dating web sites began a lot of years ago, they were an oasis for deviants, sexual marauders, nerds, and crazies of mixed varieties. That’s just no more the case. All the stigma of internet dating is at rest. Net dating has gone main stream and is, not only accepted, but anticipated. Online dating has gotten to be the chief tool of single individuals of all ages to bring forth an intriguing and rewarding social life.

 

Let’s face it... people are busy these days. We just merely don't have the time, the vigor, or the financial where-with-all to date a lot of nights every week while we search for the “one”. You are able to sort through 100s of profiles in a calendar month for less money than you'd spend on one evening out, therefore, saving time and money. We utilize the net to save ourselves time and money for a lot of matters like investitures, shopping, medical info, and communications. 

 

Why not make the best of such a valuable tool for our social and personal lives too? You may find the love of your life. At the very least, you'll meet some intriguing individuals and possibly make some durable friendships. It’s simple to get rolling. All you need is a PC and a web connection. You’ll need to search for net dating services that meet your particular needs. They are many and assorted.

 

Link up with one or two. Then you’ll need to author a good profile, upload a recent image of yourself and begin making and replying to contacts. That truly is all there is to it... that and forbearance.

 

Don’t hold off any longer to begin your fresh and intriguing social life. Miss or Ms. “Right” may be only a couple of clicks of the mouse away. 



Honesty Truly Is The Most Honorable Policy


Once you link up with an internet dating service, you are seeking that special someone that you are able to like... even perhaps come to love. That person is looking for a person that they may like or even perhaps love. What you aren’t searching for is a girl who would like your best friend or your thought of what the perfect man looks like or speaks like or thinks like. So, in order to discover the correct person for you... and they are out there... you need to be totally honest with yourself about yourself when authoring the online profile, during the dating procedure and on the far side of that. 

 

The most beneficial way to start writing your profile is to cautiously analyze your past human relationships. What was correct? What was incorrect? What things truly made you like the last person? Which did not? Don’t assume that simply because you despised that the last person you were in a relationship with was so altogether self-absorbed that they couldn’t see anything else, that you’ll be able to overlook that quality this time. You will not. 

 

If you aren’t tall with a killer body to be proud of, don’t claim to be. If you are a barkeeper, don’t claim to be an attorney with a six-figure income. If you are forty going on fifty, don’t pretend to be thirty something.

 

Remember, the theme here is to discover someone who will like you precisely like you are. If you've lied in your profile, the 1st face-to-face meeting will take away all their doubt that you are a prevaricator... and probably a cheat, also. 

 

In conclusion, once you've found a person that you believe may be the one for you, for golly sakes, terminate your membership to the net dating service. After all, you recognize and they recognize that net dating services are specified for those who are looking... not those who have discovered someone or been found.



Good Questions For Online Dating


All right. You have linked up with a couple of dating services and published an awesome profile. You have uploaded a great image and now you're going to go into instant messaging with a contact. What to do? How do you begin differentiating those who have true potential and those who don’t have any potential the least bit? You need to discover something about who this unknown woman truly is and not merely who she wants you to trust she is. 

 

It might be nice if adult females wore tags like “Out For Your Cash” or “Spoiled” ... . but they do not so it’s up to you to discover these matters out and you can’t simply ask straight questions. You need to recognize what errors you are able to ward off making and how to impress this lady if you determine you wish to do that. 

 

After you're past the initial chit chat, ask her, “What are the greatest errors men make while dating on the net?” Listen cautiously to her responses. She’s going to tell you a great deal about herself and her positions on men as a whole. 

 

Following you ought to ask her, “What do you truly think about net dating?” Right away she will tell you if she has had any sorry experiences dating on line and help you to head off doing the same things incorrectly. 

 

Now for the crucial one... “What induced the break up in your previous relationship?” If she places all the blame on the man, you ought to in all likelihood march on to the next candidate. If she takes the entire fault herself, you ought to in all likelihood do the same. If she states the breakup was by mutual consent or that the relationship just was not correct for either of them, you’ve picked up the correct response. Move ahead but forever with forethought. 

 

Asking the correct questions will present your insight and make you more surefooted once you meet the lady for the 1st time.



Successful Online Dating For Men


Individuals have gone for internet dating like a duck goes for water... since it works... or, at any rate, it can work. Women are, as a whole, frightened of meeting a man that she has been talking with online. All they have got wind of are the chilling things that may occur... and, I must state, they have a right to be cautious to the extreme point. That’s not simply wise but critical. So what’s a decent guy supposed to do? You aren’t a deviant, a sexual marauder, or a creep. You are just a decent guy seeking “the” girl for you. 

 

You have to be patient. Do not press her for personal info like her true name or where she resides. Keep your conversations lighter and fun till she feels comfy speaking with you online. Don’t attempt to rush her into hooking up with you face-to-face. She will think you're desperate or a misdirected individual. Be Patient. 

 

Be perfectly truthful about your physical appearance and line of work. A great relationship has never been, and will never be, built upon untruths and deception. One of these days she will find out the facts anyway and there you are back at the beginning.


An image truly is worth a thousand words. Post a lot of images of yourself doing your day-to-day activities and make them entire body shots, not merely head shots. If you were dating a girl in real life, she would not just see your head. 


Once the discussion has been opened up about meeting face-to-face for the 1st time, propose that you meet in a really public place, during daytime hours and that she brings an acquaintance with her. After all, you've nothing to hide. You have told her the facts about yourself and she has already looked at a lot of images of you. The only matter left is to make her feel secure meeting you.

Then you will even have more to talk about during net dates thru e-mails and chat rooms. Look for “photo albums” online to discover places that store your photographs.

 

Greeting Cards - no matter where the individual lives, you are able to mail a greeting card. If privacy and security is an issue, look into renting a cheap P.O. Box (check the phone book). You don't have to be a creative person to make something homemade and special for the fresh acquaintance in your life. Even creating a special, personalized greeting card would be treasured and show your date that you like them enough to take the time required to make something by hand. Browse your preferred search engine for net greeting cards to send, as well. They range from costless to low-priced and may be sent in a click.

Developing Internet Dating Relationships


Just like normal real life human relationships, cyberspace human relationships need care, to mature over time. Here are a few fast maturation tips for online dating relationships.

 

Take the time and make sure to make time. Does your cyberspace date get a hold of you on a regular basis? Do you do the same for them? Overlooking virtual meetings may be looked at as ill-treatment or disregard, so care for each other’s time with regard. If it’s deficient, it might mean it is time to march on.

 

Communicating needs to “feel” correct for both of you. If one of you is overly aggressive about coming together, for example, that may give out unfit vibes. So do not cannonball along. Take time to find out more about one another and formulate trust.

 

Regard each other’s privacy. Do not portion out to other people personal e-mail addresses or digital photographs on the World Wide Web, for instance, if your cyberspace date mailed you the info in confidence.

 

Share particular net and offline play times. On the Net – send greeting cards, links to preferred places to upload digital photographs of your darling pet, download music and video clips, post on preferred forums of concern. Off the net- if you are exchanging name and address or post office boxes, send print greeting cards and postcards, little tokens from your region (such as a key chain with your state bird).

 

Take care of your net human relationship. Water it with caution and over time it may sprout and mature.

Protect Your PC

Protect Yourself

 

Look after yourself, as well, by picking out suitable dating web sites. Look for and pick out a reputable net dating service. How? Set out by asking around with acquaintances, neighbors, colleagues and other people you might know who have attempted net dating, and determine which web sites they advocate. In addition, explore “online dating services” and maintain a notebook of their web addresses or site links, the fees, rules and ordinances, complete contact info of each and any additional valuable info that spikes your interest. Then equate each place. Try out only those places on the net where you feel secure. Make sure to keep off the others ones.

Obesity has several adverse health effects. The most serious dangers include hypertension, heart disease, cancer and diabetes, although joint problems and psychosocial hardship can also be very distressing.

 

Obesity is a serious risk factor for hypertension, which affects 7 out of 10 obese men, and develops as follows. As the amount of fat tissue in the body increases, the heart is forced to pump more blood around the body in order to meet the extra demand for additional oxygen and nutrients. As this extra blood passes through the arteries, it increases pressure on the arterial walls, leading to higher blood pressure. Hypertension, which is sometimes referred to as "the silent killer", is a significant contributor to cardiovascular disease.

 

Obesity is also classified as a major risk factor for heart disease, with almost 70 percent of diagnosed cases occurring in obese patients. The prevalence of atherosclerosis (clogging of the arteries) is 10 times higher in obese men compared to those who are not obese. This type of coronary artery disease occurs when fatty deposits build up on the walls of arteries that supply the heart, reducing blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack.

 

Although the link is not fully understood, there is a clear association between obesity in men and an increased risk of colon and prostate cancers. It may be due to specific eating habits, such as overconsumption of red meat allied with an insufficiency of antioxidant-rich foods like fresh fruit and vegetables. The prevalence of prostate cancer in American males is 18.7 per 100,000, compared to 10.2 in Japanese men.

 

Obesity is the major cause of type 2 diabetes. Almost 8 out of 10 type 2 diabetics are obese. Even mild obesity significantly increases the risk of diabetes. Weight gain after the age of 18 is a particular contributor. Obesity is also closely associated with insulin resistance, high blood sugar levels and pre-diabetes.

 

Abdominal Obesity Even More Dangerous

 

While obesity in general is a major predictor of serious ill-health in men, abdominal obesity - excess fat around the stomach - is an added health risk, which is bad news for men as they typically store fat around their middle. Men under stress are doubly at risk as stress triggers the release of the hormone cortisol which appears to stimulate fat storage around the stomach and abdomen. Abdominal obesity is one of a number of interlinked conditions (the others being high cholesterol, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high levels of inflammatory and clotting components in the blood) that comprise the condition known as metabolic syndrome. This disorder has been identified as a complex risk factor for cardiovascular disease. An estimated 1 in 3 of overweight or obese men have metabolic syndrome.

 

Health Benefits of Modest Weight Reduction

 

Although untreated obesity may have serious health consequences, even modest weight loss can bring noticeable health benefits. For example, a weight loss of as little as 10-20 pounds can eliminate the need for hypertension or type 2 diabetes medication. In addition, it can raise HDL cholesterol (the good blood-fats) reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides (the bad blood-fats) and thus reduce the risk of heart disease. Even so, the more weight you can lose in a steady sustained way, the greater the health improvements, especially if you can reduce the amount of fat around your middle.

 

Diet Advice For Men

 

A nutritious calorie-controlled diet is the foundation for lasting weight loss. And don't worry about cutting down on junk food. In my experience, a person's appetite for high-fat or high-sugar foods falls dramatically within a couple of weeks of healthy eating. So if you want to lose weight but can't enjoy a meal without a huge slab of fatty red meat, a large helping of mayo, or a bag of tortilla chips, try switching to a healthier diet for 2 weeks and see what a difference it makes to your taste buds.

 

Improve Your Health And Save Money

 

Instead of simply cutting calories and thinking "I must diet", make a point of choosing healthy foods and think "I want to eat healthily". You may even motivate yourself by focusing on the reduced health insurance costs you will achieve by getting into shape.

 

Personalize Your Eating Plan

 

There is no single diet plan that fits every man. Moreover, eliminating all your favorite foods is not a winning weight loss strategy. As long as your regular daily diet is calorie-controlled (1500-1850 calories) and contains enough healthy foods, you should be able to include a few treats without interfering with your weight reduction. If the idea of joining Weight Watchers doesn't appeal, customize an online diet plan or seek an individualised eating plan from a registered dietitian.

 

Healthy Eating Guidelines For Men

 

As a general guide, choose foods which are low in fat - especially saturated or trans-fats - low in sodium, and less refined. To be more specific, eat at least five daily servings of fruits and vegetables - more is better. Also, eat a wide variety of both, because different fruits and vegetables contain different nutrients. Eat whole grains such as brown rice and whole wheat bread rather than white rice and white bread. Whole grain foods are richer in nutrients and higher in both soluble and insoluble fiber compared to more processed products. Their extra fiber content means they help to maintain healthy blood glucose levels, which reduces the risk of appetite swings and cravings. Go easy on fat. Enjoy low fat dairy products - remember, full-fat cheese is a huge source of saturated fat - and don't add extra fat to food in the form of mayo or sour cream. Stay away from chips and other high-fat, high sodium snack foods.

 

Men Who Enjoy Red Meat

 

Red meat, like beef, lamb and pork, is highly nutritious. Unfortunately, it's also one of the main sources of saturated fat - the type implicated in atherosclerotic heart disease. If you enjoy red meat, make sure you remove all visible fat before eating, and limit your intake to 3-4 3-ounce servings per week. Fish is a healthy alternative protein source, especially oily fish like mackerel, herring and salmon, as is skinless chicken and turkey.

 

Eating Out For Men

 

If you are serious about losing weight, be extra-choosy when dining out or ordering take-out food. Here are some important tips. 


  • Do not order deep-fried food. 
  • Look for light appetizers, such as salads, non-creamy soups, fish platter. 
  • Avoid entrees with sauces. If necessary, ask for them “on the side”. Choose plain fish, broiled lean steak, or tomato-based pasta. 
  • Make sure half your plate contains vegetables, without added oil or butter. 
  • For dessert, choose any fresh fruit dish, and if offered cream say No. 

 

If these suggestions are too arduous, it may be best to skip eating out until you feel more confident.

 

Men Who Enjoy Alcohol

 

For many men, giving up alcohol is a complete No-No. So let me give you some facts and you can choose accordingly. To begin with, alcohol contains zero nutrition. In addition, its calorie content is quite high - about 7 calories per gram. Drinking one regular Martini per day adds up to about 58,400 calories per year - the equivalent of about 16.5 pounds of body fat. One beer a day amounts to nearly as much. A better option is one 4oz glass of wine a day, which contains about half the calories of a Martini. Another problem to consider if you are male, is the contribution that alcohol makes to your fat stomach. In my experience, overweight drinkers who give up alcohol experience an immediate reduction in their stomach size, which is very good news for their health.

 

Weight Reduction Exercise For Men

 

Men typically do not find it easy to incorporate regular physical exercise into their daily schedule. More than 50 percent of American men do not take enough physical activity. Which is not good news because the medical benefits of regular exercise are compelling. Keeping active is one of the most effective methods of protecting ourselves against serious disease, and maintaining a good quality of life. This introduces the basic male dilemma. In order to achieve a comfortable standard of living for himself and his family, a man typically has to spend extra hours working instead of exercising. But by not exercising he runs a much higher risk of serious disease, a crippling rise in insurance bills, as well as an illness-prone retirement. No easy choices here, I'm afraid, although the rational decision must be to make exercise a higher priority. This is particularly true for men over 40. For men who really want to lose weight, I suggest you first see your doctor for a quick check-up. 

 

Then, if all is well, I advise you start with 45 minutes/day of light exercise. Do this for 2-3 weeks or until you notice obvious benefits such as improved breathing, sleeping and appetite. Then gradually increase the duration and intensity of your training program up to 60 minutes a day. The best way to avoid overstrain is to loosen up with stretches at the beginning of each exercise session, and wind down with stretches afterwards.

 

Improved Lifestyle For Men

 

Quitting smoking is the top priority for any man with weight-related health problems. Another essential improvement is stress reduction or at least better stress management. This is because any stress which leads to a feeling that life is out of control, is a major contributor to disordered eating, excessive alcohol intake and disease, as well as family problems. Moving to a less stressful job, reducing your work schedule, or taking regular physical exercise are useful ways to reduce stress, and will definitely assist weight loss and general health. Spending more time with your family is also a great stress reliever.
