Weight Loss Tips for Men

Weight loss is one of the most popular health and fitness goals I encounter with my clients – both women and men alike!

But there are a number of reasons why men and women need to approach this goal a little differently.

First, men often have the additional goal of building significant amounts of muscle mass. They also have higher levels of testosterone, which naturally improves their ability to build muscle and burn fat.

So I’ve compiled a list of my top weight loss tips for men. Take a look, and give them a try – you can’t go wrong!

Top Weight Loss Tips for Men

1. Don’t Give Up on Cardio

This one has become a little controversial in popular culture. Many fitness experts claim you don’t need to do cardiovascular exercise at all, while others still support it. I have definitely seen some cases where guys get in shape without cardio, but this really doesn’t work for everyone.

If you’re trying to lose weight and cardio’s not part of your workout, then I suggest giving it a try. I don’t like any fitness regimen that includes too much cardio, but adding short bursts of high intensity cardio can really make a big impact on your body’s ability to burn fat. There’s no doubt about it – cardio burns a ton of calories.

The fear is always muscle mass, as it is possible to burn muscle if you do too much cardio. The ideal cardio workout is one that includes resistance training. This is why I’m a huge fan of high intensity interval training(HIIT). You’ll get better results in a third of the time, and still burn a ton of calories and fat. Take a look at my article on HIIT here for more details.

2. Eat a Ton of Protein

Not literally, of course, but you need to realize that protein is not just essential for building muscle. It also boosts your metabolism and gets you burning fat even while at rest. You should be getting at least 20 grams of protein in every meal, and make sure your snacks are also packed full of protein.

One of the leading protein supplements on the market is Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion (the Delicious Vanilla flavor is amazing). But to really fuel your muscles for those hard workouts, I recommend a sustained release protein like MHP Probolic-SR Muscle Feeder. This will ensure that your muscles are getting adequate protein throughout the day, which will further help you avoid cravings.

3. Take Things Up a Level

To see faster weight loss results, you really need to boost your energy expenditure at the gym. By doing so, you’ll burn more fat during your workout and build more lean muscle mass, which will get you burning more fat down the road. There are a number of things you can do to take it up a notch.

First, a pre-workout supplement like Gaspari Nutrition SuperPump MAX or USPLabs Jack3d can help you get a lot more out of your workouts. It will also boost your metabolism and get you burning more fat, so it’s all around an effective option. You can also try something as simple as hydrating with VPX Coco Fit Coconut Water during your workouts. It’s a pretty effective source of energy, and will replenish key nutrients lost during exercise.

If you’re looking to get more serious about your fat-burning efforts, then you really need to check out a new supplement on the market – 7-Keto LeanGels. It’s a unique blend of really powerful weight loss supplements that will give you the boost you’ve been looking for!
