Is the key to weight loss eating like a man?

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Men's Health

My partner, Jon, seems to live on things that I hardly ever allow myself to eat -- instant ramen noodles (two packages at a time), pizza, Chinese food, convenience store hoagies, triple-patty bacon cheeseburgers, meatball subs ... you get the picture. The only time he eats healthy is when I cook for him. And yet he never gains weight while I have trouble losing one pound. It's frustrating at the best of times, and I'm sure everyone knows a man like that, who can eat without abandon and not gain an ounce.

But the secret to men's diet's isn't what they're eating, according to this article. It's how they eat. Think about it -- when a man is frustrated or upset, does he reach for the ice cream? No, but I sure do. Men, particularly my man, eat when they're hungry and stop when they're full. It's as simple as that. Though that doesn't mean we have the go-ahead to eat like Jon as long as we stop when we're full -- he is extremely active so that contributes to his lean physique.

I think this makes a lot of sense -- don't you?
