When men need to lose weight, they like to do it without appearing to be on a diet, according to natural health expert Michael van Straten. Here's how men can shift those pounds without anyone even noticing they're trying.

What is it?

While women spend hours discussing their target weights and think nothing of comparing their daily calorie intakes, most men would rather die than admit to their mates they were on a diet. That's because men feel the need to preserve their manly image, according to natural health expert Michael van Straten. Because of this, if men want to lose weight, they should approach it differently from women.

How does it work?

The trick, says Michael, is for men to adopt the 'Switch Method' instead. Instead of a complete diet overhaul, men should learn simple and discreet ways of swapping their high-fat, high-calorie favourites for healthier versions. That way, they'll lose weight without anyone even noticing they're on a diet.
