6 Great Reasons to Buy the Men’s Health Weight-Loss Issue, On Sale Now
Weight loss is a complex topic. It is at once a health issue, a psychological issue, a cultural issue and a political issue. But as Men’s Health Editor-in-Chief Toby Wiseman writes in our June issue, there are also hard statistics that it’s difficult to ignore:
“Since 1993, the proportion of adults in England considered to be obese has risen from 14.9% to 28%; people aged 45 to 74 are most likely to be overweight or obese; and of these, men are more likely to be overweight or obese than women. Depending on the way you interpret these numbers, you could argue that we’re in the midst of a health crisis or that being overweight is fairly normal.”
Not everyone wants to lose weight. And for those who do, motivations generally have little to do with satisfying an online BMI calculator. But if you’re interested in fine-tuning your nutrition, finding new ways to break a sweat, or hearing first-hand accounts from men who’ve transformed their health for the better – and yes, lost a little weight in the process – you’ve come to the right place.
