No nonsense weight-loss advice for men

With the Christmas party season in full flow, it’s hard to think ahead to those New Year’s resolutions, but why not vow to make 2010 the year that they actually happen?

A new website called Beltdown.com promises to give you the best chance of success you’ve had yet.

Beltdown.com is a bloke focussed website giving no nonsense advice on weightloss and diet. With very easy to follow principles and advice, the site avoids any complicated systems involving weighing food or counting points and calories.

The website looks at four key points that are integral to a successful weight loss programme: a diet plan that you can stick to, a support group, an advisor and a weekly check in.

For men a huge problem is committing to the weekly meetings. Not only do they find it difficult to make time, but also, the confrontational nature of the meetings can put them off. Being online, Beltdown.com is easy to access from anywhere, and can be accessed at a time to suit the user.

The website also creates a diet plan that means that men can go about their daily routine without feeling they were losing face among their mates, is easy to follow, and allows them to go for a curry with their friends.

Beltdown’s key diet plan principle is unique, and couldn’t be easier to follow – ‘If you can’t wash it, try to avoid it’. So a cooked breakfast of eggs, bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms makes it onto the tick list, but cake and biscuits (unless you like your digestives very soggy) are best avoided. The website is also packed full of print offs and cut outs of things like the lowest calorie beers and curries to eat and tips like – “if you don’t want to be pestered by your mates for drinking a ‘girly’ drink get yourself a bottle of lager in each round, which is lower in calories as it contains less beer than a pint. So while your mates are swilling their pints, you’ll be drinking far less calories without losing face.”

You can also see how to “beltdown” your favourite meals, like a roast dinner, to make it fit the guidelines with a few easy modifications.

This bloke friendly approach to weight loss seems to be working, with success stories starting to permeate the site. “A lot of guys are embarrassed to discuss their weight concerns, and think they can solve it in the gym alone, but you’d have to run 20 miles to burn off the calories from a big McDonalds meal, our more focussed and discreet approach seems to suit guys a lot better, and the results are speaking for themselves” concludes Jeni.

Beltdown is available wherever you have an internet connection, without having to commit to attending a group one evening a week. At £8 a month, membership is priced to be cheaper than other groups out there, so all that’s left to do is embrace the New Year with the Rinseable Principle and make this year the year you do get the six pack back.
