Weight Loss Programs Gain New Customers...Men!

According to the companies trying to sell weight loss programs for men, they have a tendency to spend more, lose weight faster than women and are more driven to keep it off. However, as it turns out, overweight men are often regarded as acceptable and do not suffer the same stigma as women who are obese. It is assumed that the stress and responsibilities of a career or family or lack of time to dedicate to a healthy diet and proper exercise is OK. Men will get sicker and die if we continue these excuses. Obesity can do the equal amount of damage in men as it can do to women.
