(HealthNewsDigest.com) - About the Book: With 65% of American men overweight, men clearly need a different solution than the diet plans and weight loss programs that are tailored for women. Being overweight affects men much differently than women – and men need an answer that speaks directly to their need for a simple, easy-to-follow plan.

In It’s Different For Men: The Men’s Weight Loss Strategy for Health, Wealth, and Sexual Vitality (Wiley; May 2008; Cloth; $27.95) author Harvey Brooker offers real-world guidance to help men lose the weight. Brooker offers no gimmicks, but instead helps men realize the toll that being overweight is taking on their lives, and uses motivation, planning and goal-setting – along with a hefty dose of brutal truth – to guide men to their weight loss goals.

According to Brooker, carrying extra weight has much different physiological and psychological effects on men than women. Not only does being overweight effect confidence and self-esteem, but it also takes its toll on three key areas:

• Health: If you’re an overweight man who thinks he’s feeling well and healthy – think again. You’ve forgotten what “well” and “healthy” feel like! Whether you’re on medications to manage conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, your joints ache when you walk, or you’re suffering from heartburn or sleep apnea you can find significant relief through weight loss.

• Career: Very few CEOs are overweight. Not everyone is destined to be a CEO, but most would like to advance in our jobs. The reality is that employers want people with high self-esteem, energy to do the job and the ability to make a great impression with colleagues and clients. And this likely means the promotion will go to the trim guy.

• Sex life: Extra weight can have a profound effect on your sex life, from reducing the blood flow to the penis (this means problems maintaining an erection), engulfing the area around the penis with extra fat – making it look smaller, to worrying about sexual positions and “squishing” your partner.

It’s time for men to start thinking about their weight, get over the myth that “dieting” means not eating, and realize that society may not be as forgiving about being overweight as it may seem. It’s Different For Men shows how men can trim down – on their own terms.
