BLG Health-Comparison of Obesity Between Women And Men

Male obesity has become a weighty topic...and
it's on the rise in the United States. Although
weight-loss programs and diet trends often focus
on women, the American Obesity Association
found that the prevalence to be overweight is
higher for men (67 percent) than women
(62 percent).

In fact, a recent study from the National
Institute of Health (NIH), conducted over
30 years, showed nine out of 10 men and
seven out of 10 women were overweight
or became overweight.

But despite being more prone to obesity, only
39 percent of men are on a diet or would try
a diet to lose weight, as opposed to a larger
portion of 70 percent of women.

While some men do place importance on health
and weight loss, their approach is different than
women, and therefore guys are hesitant to go on
a diet. In fact, according to the NIH, 66 percent
of men say they eat the foods they like regardless
of calories, which leaves men wondering how
can they eat what they want and still lose weight.

More weight loss information can be found at
BLG Health.
