Editorial Review

Men are luckier than women when it comes to weight loss. For one thing, men tend to store most of their fat in their midsections, and abdominal fat is much easier to lose than fat stored in the thighs or buttocks. For another, men have more muscle mass, which means a higher metabolic rate, and thus more calories burned throughout the day.Read more

Great program
I read this book and followed the program for quite a while.I ended up losing about 20 pounds.
sound nutritional advice
I have tried various diets including low carbs etc.I always felt sick I.E. dizzy ,weak etc.I bought this book and have been pleasantly suprised.The diet provides you with a fat budget that you don't exceed.I can eat whatever I want,including limitless fruits and veggies.I also like how it talks to men,although my wife does the program as well.The only down side is it becomes tedious to keep a food log 24/7.If you go out to eat it also is frustrating.I think if you want a sound nutritional base or don't mind counting calories this is a fine book.Didn't give it full 5 because of all the list keeping.

Simply the Best!
I'm not obese and I don't have a "problem," but I'm the kind of guy who needed a little something extra to get into my ideal shape.I found that something in this book.The methodology makes sense. The book is clear, sensible and fun to read! When you need motivation, it's there. When you need an explanation, it's there. Everything is there, but perhaps the best review I can give it is: Using this book, I lost 25 pounds and now feel better than I've ever felt before.Thank you! ... Read more

Diffilult Yoga for men
This book is a waste of time for anyone wanting to learn yoga.The poses are held for too long for beginners which makes them very difficult.The audio CD is very hard to follow and there is too much mystical yoga horse manure in the book.Try Yoga for Dummies or Yoga for Health by Richard Hittleman instead.

An excellent guide to yoga for men!
This book is a great guide to yoga!I particularly like the way it spells out all of the benefits of yoga in a user-friendly format.I also liked the comparison of yoga to business.Finally, a yoga book I can relate to!I would recommend this to any guy looking to get healthy.

Average. "Yoga for Dummies" is a far better introduction
I bought this book hoping that I could get started with yoga on my own. As a beginner's introduction to yoga, it is rather unsuccessful in that it uses terminology without defining it first and has photographic illustrations that do not show the key points of the yoga positions as clearly as the drawings in "Yoga for Dummies."Read more

The Indispensable Guide to Classic Men's Clothing
A must read for anyone who regards their business clothing as an investment.Also an excellent guide for men who do not have a firm understanding of what classic/traditional business clothing is due to their female companions taking care of their clothes shopping needs.

Good Menswear Addition
Great book and a must have for any man that has even the slightest interest in what he is wearing (whether an expert or not).The book is written in question and answer form with the topics ranging from neckwear / collars to shoes.An excellent place to start if a man is interested on dressing better (or if one is already experienced with menswear)
A must have for every man!
Very short, succinct, yet informative book on gentleman's wardrobe. The authors' have managed to cover the basics (e.g. suits, shirts, shoes) in a very readable prose, which can be read by (and understood and liked) by shoolboys.The book answers so many questions, which we are often ebarrased to ask, so as not to show ignorance (and instead write to the Style Guide at GQ). ...

Save your money
Sorry, this isn't a very good book at all. It is just a few lines and paragraphs strung together. Some of the information is OK but some just reflects an attitude and not real style. Better to get Clothes and the Man or Dressing the Man. Those are great books about dressing and style.

Helpful and Humorous
The authors got their facts straight, but this book is more useful as reinforcement of sound style principles than it is as a reference tool.The opinions are overwhelmingly correct, but there is no indexing to help a reader find specific subjects.Still, for an overview of what every gentleman should know about how to dress, reinforcement of the rules offered by a more spartan guide, or a humorous refresher for those who have fallen from the true faith, this is a great little book.
Perfect intro to style
It's a great coffee table or bathroom book to have laying around. It certainly doesn't go in-depth, but it gives you the average person some good, basic principles of style. It gives the person who can't afford to shop anywhere other than TJ Maxx or Marshall's a decent education on what to buy and how to put it together. I think this book is worth every penny. ...

Living Longer Stronger: 6-Week Plan to Enhance & Extend Your Years 40
Great book.Valuable and reliable information.

Works for a 20 something too!
I applied about half the principles in the book (I didn't follow the eating/drinking water guidelines exactly, but I did do the exercising as described).I reduced my caloric intake, but not as much as he prescribes.
Excellent
This is an excellent book, full of good advice, sound research, and a workable program for anyone, (men or women) at any age, who feels they need to "get back into shape".The workout, and diet suggestions, are probably the least intrusive on a person's lifestyle of any program I have ever become familiar with.Read more

ItWas Food vs. Me... and I Won.
I loved it.I liked the friendship she tries to develop with you as the book progresses.
Wow!
This is the only book I have ever read where I felt like the author knew exactly how I was feeling.I have never been able to describe my relationship with food until now.Now that I have a better understanding, I can be in control.This is an excellent book.

Probably not the Solution that you are looking for
To prevent repetition, please read Carla Baku's review because I believe that the review highlighted some very important aspects of the book that the reader should acknowledge. If you are looking for a book that you can relate to because you have similar experiences with food and emotions as Nancy had, you've found it. I am still amazed at her ability to share and then publish some of her experiences. I have gone through very similar experiences and I can barely write about any of it on paper, let alone share with anyone else. If you are a person who is looking for a solution or an answer to what might be your problem with food... this is the wrong book. It is a comforting book though if you are someone with similar issues like Nancy because it makes you realize that you are definatly not alone. Nancy talks how she goes to see a therapist or a counselor and at first it was really difficult, difficult to admit her problems and difficult for her to face someone and to ask for help. Nancy realizes that her family and her marriage interplay with her issues with food. What I realized at this point was the power of asking for help. Not the kind of help from the late night infomercials selling equiptment that already filled my basement, not the kind of help from the latest diet books or solutions, but the kind of professional help like Nancy sought out and helped her to overcome her issues with food. Like I did and before I knew it, my issues weren't around food at all, food was just the distraction and for me is no longer a problem anymore. I think an important part of the book is the challenge and the power of asking for help. After 2 years with an eating disorder, I asked for help and found a therapist. Its the best thing I've very done for myself. ... Read more

Overall Good
While I don't aggree with everything in the book.The book provides a good overview of males with eating disorders as well as Dr. Holbrook's personal story.I think some of the low ratings are because certain chapters are hard to understand but it is overall a good book.

Don't bother.
This book is a big disappointment.Offers no valuable insights for men with eating disorders.Andersen is called the leading authority on this subject but I cannot fathom why this is so.Most likely, he and the other editors/authors just wanted to be the first to publish a book like this.Unfortunately, they were not up to the task.Hopefully, someone who understands this topic more will eventually publish a more useful book on the subject.

Review by Joel Yager, M.D.
You'd never suspect from looking at the cover articles of men's fitness magazines at your local newsstands, but until now men had cause to feel neglected by the body dissatisfaction mavens of the academic community. In contrast to the scores of books written about women's issues about their bodies, eating disorders, and related topics, the literature addressed to males has been thin indeed. Men with eating disorders can now feel cared about too.Read more

So do men really go through menopause? If you think of menopause as hot flashes and a sudden change in fertility, no. But if you regard menopause as physical and emotional changes triggered by significant changes in hormone levels, then yes, men go through it. In Read more

This book's time has finally arrived
When the author published this book in the nineties, the oldest among the leading-edge baby boomers were still in their early fifties. Today, millions more are confronting and crossing the 55 marker, and this book has much greater relevance to an aging and influential cohort. Men in my network have been realizing the significance of andropause in personal and profound ways, and most are now searching for answers to the complex male questions about midlife. This book answers questions that barely surfaced ten years ago and provides men with knowledge and encouragement. The author's sensitivity to this passage is profound, and he gives readers many reasons for optimism, as well as strategies to manage a significant life stage. To those who criticized this book as mere pop psychology, I say wait a few more years and then you'll get it.

Science without Creation?
While Americans seek to find all the answers to behaviors through scientific methods, we cannot ignore the master designer of all humans.Absolving anyone--women OR men--of their behavior simply because their hormone levels fluctuate with age and other factors shows disregard for common civility and decency.There is nothing wrong with attempting to explain the "whys" of menopausal symptoms, but what each of us does with that knowledge and how we use it to control our behaviors and be responsible moral human beings is the critical issue.

The first real book to talk completely about Male Menopause
Male Menopause written by Jed Diamond is the first book to seriously and completely alert men and women about this very real phenomenon - Male Menopause.As the editor and founder of HotFlash! theperimenopause/menopause web site and online support group I know first handthe effects of hormonal changes in women.They can be very devastating andchange a woman's life.The same is true for men.I applaud Jed's workbecause he takes a subject, male menopause and drags it out from the"taboo" closet and forces us to look at it.I have had thepleasure of interviewing Jed and have found that there are millions of menand their partners suffering in silence about this change of life.MaleMenopause, hallmarked by lowered testosterone levels, can leave a mandepressed, scared, anxious, moody, lose sexual interest and have problemsgetting and sustaining erections ( this is very distreesing for men).Jed's book alerts us to this health issue and we all must take thisseriously.His book speaks to the problems men have with loweringtesosterone levels and bodily changes; we must recognize this as seriouslyas we do for women in perimenopause and menopause.In talking withhundreds of women every day and through my media appearances and articles,I find that men too are going thorugh "something" as women areexperincing perimenopause and menopause.Many people think this is just aphase or "mid-life" crsisi" but it is more.Likeperimenopause male menopause must be discussed openly and withintelligence; Jed Diamiond does just that. ...

The BEST book I've read on eating disorders!
After years of looking for feminist perspectives on eating disorders I came across this amazing book.What makes this book particularly unique is that it is edited, and contains the views of many different feminists andfeminist therapists.Not only was the theory the most useful I have read,but this book also contains many helpful ideas for how feminists (andfeminists working in the mental health field in particular) can best helptheir clients who are struggling with eating disorder and body imageissues.Anyone who works with eating disordered clients cannot pass thisbook up--it is WELL woth the money! ...

Let's "make fun of the guys with small penises!"
If you like such disgusting attitude and a lot of gossiping about mainly past celebrities this book can be of some interest for you. For a serious and respecting himself and the others man it is 0.5-star collection of poor quality photos.
For Entertainment Purposes ONLY!
I truly wanted to like Griffin's text. After a thorough read, however, I found Griffin's text to be far from anything considered academic. The author's "research" is based on his private observations (which I consider invalid without further published data or photos), the solicitedaccounts of other people with no connection to the medical field ("Myfriend saw Mr. X's penis when he was next to him in the men's bathroom, andit was big!") which is called hearsay everywhere else, and theauthor's "private collection" of photos, which is not included inthe text. Why, if Griffin felt comfortable publishing basically a big bookof pictures, would he not include the several photos in his own collection,even though he makes textual reference to them?
Sooo True!
