Men lose weight best with male-only, team-based programs and personalized targets

New research shows men lose weight more effectively when weight-loss strategies are social, masculine, and goal-driven: male-only groups and sport-based, workplace programs boost engagement, while traditional dieting often falls short. Men prefer exercise over strict dieting, respond to small daily behavior changes, and track progress with wearables and personalized targets, suggesting that gender-tailored approaches yield better, sustained weight loss.
