TEXMEN: One of my main issues is how health & nutrition is marketed to women versus men. Do a quick Google search on women’s health magazines versus men’s health magazines and you’ll immediately see the difference in keywords. Women’s magazine covers frequently use terms like “drop X pounds fast!” and “calorie-torching workout!” and “low-calorie foods”. Men’s magazines use keywords like “build“, “power“, and “strength“. In my bit of searching, I never once found a men’s magazine that talked about burning or cutting calories, or losing pounds. For anybody who knows anything about weight loss and nutrition, you will immediately recognize how shallow, and ultimately harmful, only focusing on calories can be. That is because 1) a healthy body cannot be measured simply by poundage and 2) less calories do not equal good nutrition. It is especially saddening because of the blatant misinformation fed to women by the media about how to be fit, or even, what fitness is. I could go, on but Ive said enough. Start MOVING people. BTW: ladies in the 3rd example below, Lisa posted her results after doing some H.I.I.T. training for 6 months. Her body shrunk quite a bit putting on some muscle, so she got heavier. But she looks awesome. Dont use a scale, because muscle is heavier than fat. Once you start working out, tape yourself, and youll see the true results of your hard work.
