Scientists explore why most men think ‘dieting’ isn’t for them
Men often view diet programs as too restrictive and mainly aimed at women, making weight loss harder for them.
Traditional diets are commonly seen by men as activities focused on women, which discourages their participation.
Participants expressed that the word 'diet' is associated with restriction and negativity.
Justin Roberts, study co-lead author, recommends avoiding terms like 'diet' or 'dieting' and suggests framing weight loss as a positive personal challenge to encourage men.
