Men's Health TNT Diet
A weight loss program designed just for men.
BACKGROUND
Since there is no shortage of diets that are tailored to women, Men's Health magazine has created a unique weight loss program that is geared to men's specific dietary needs. In general, men consume more calories, have less fat and sport more muscle than women. And sorry to all of you ladies, but men also have an easier time losing weight than women do. Kind of unfair, but men continue to make up a significant percentage of the millions of overweight and obese cases in this country.
The Men's Health TNT Diet: The Explosive New Plan to Blast Fat, Build Muscle, and Get Healthy in 12 Weeks is a guide to help men lose weight and improve their health. Designed with men's unique caloric needs and body composition in mind, the TNT Diet is a build muscle and lose fat program that journeys across a three-month exercise and clean-eating meal plan.

DIET and NUTRITION
There are five eating plans to choose from in the TNT Diet. The guides in the book will help you determine which plan is best suited for you to meet your weight loss and health goals. Based upon the plan you chose, you will alternate between weeks of eating a high-carbohydrate meal plan, low-carbohydrate meal plan or workout-nutrition meal plan. You are strongly encouraged to adopt the low-carb eating plan for the first 4 weeks of the TNT Diet.
Protein is the staple macro-nutrient that is eaten at every meal, alongside non-starchy vegetables and modest amounts of fat. When you move into the high-carb eating plan, you can begin to eat pastas, cereals, fruit, popcorn and other whole grains but sugars, extra fats and refined carbohydrates should be avoided.
Each plan is very well outlined so that you know how much to eat, what to eat and when to eat.
It is also suggested that you take Nordic Naturals omega-3 fatty acids, drink lots of water and drink roobios, or red tea which is caffeine-free and full of antioxidants.
EXERCISE
The TNT Workout Plan is a 12-week program in three 4-week phases. It is designed to build muscle, burn fat, boost metabolism and improve your overall fitness.
Each week, you will do three weight training sessions, resting in between each day. The workout plan includes very precise guidelines for which strength-training exercise to do, how to perform them and the order you need to perform them in.
CONCLUSION
The Men's Health TNT Diet is a comprehensive and very regimented program that was designed specifically for men who want to lose weight, build muscle and improve their overall health.
