Publisher Description
Man v Fat is a practical and supportive resource for men, written by a normal bloke who just wanted to lose some weight.
One day Andrew Shanahan took a guttie to text to a mate. But once he had taken the photo, he couldn't stop looking at it. He realised how unhappy he was about his body and resolved to change it. However he soon learned that the dieting industry had turned its back on men. Men were expected to get fit, tone up and turn fat into a six-pack in six weeks. There was nothing for men who simply wanted to lose their beer belly, play football again and feel more confident. So Andrew decided to do something about this.
In Man v Fat, Andrew Shanahan will give you everything you need to know in order to lose weight, breaking it down into three essential components:
Stage 1: Understand why you got fat
Stage 2: Learn how to lose weight
Stage 3: Create a winning structure
Man v Fat is not a diet book or a commercial diet plan. It will explain (and myth-bust) the various diets available, so you can choose the one that will work best for you - or even create your own. It will help you to supercharge your motivation, set specific goals and teach you how to track and review them, identify threats and create a support network, and of course troubleshoot common hurdles. There are plans to get you walking, running or cycling (optional activity) or make the most of obligatory activity. Plus a perfect week plan and perfect month plan to get you started.
In the battle of man against fat, this book is your ultimate weapon.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After food writer and journalist Shanahan struggled to find a simple diet that didn't fixate on bikini-ready bodies or six-week abs, he found his own way through simple changes in diet and exercise. Now he offers advice and options for the man who just wants to be healthy. Effectively organized, this guide identifies three important subjects to understand while forming a feasible weight-loss plan: how one got "fat," how the body can lose weight, and how to create a regimen one can plausibly follow. The book is both charming and practical in educating readers about the causes of weight gain and loss. With fun infographics, foundational facts, and profiles on real-life weight-losers (including impressive before-and-after photos), Shanahan sets a tone that recalls both Choose Your Own Adventure books and lifestyle magazines. The first two sections outline how men gain weight, complete with surveys that describe different diets and reasons for weight gain, so that each reader can identify the course best suited to him. The last section tells readers how to turn viable goals into attainable steps, supplemented with progress charts and troubleshooting tips. The recipes and glossary in the appendix round out a thoughtful, and refreshingly realistic, approach to weight loss.
