      Several common misunderstandings about men’s diet
      
      Misunderstanding 1: Eat until you are 100% full and resist snacks
      
      Unlike women, most men are not interested in snacks cold . This is not a bad thing, but unfortunately, men always eat every meal until they are 100% full. Not only does this make them gain weight, but it can also increase cholesterol levels. French nutrition expert Jenkins said that the French are slim because they eat at least 4 times a day; while the Nordics only eat 3 meals a day: ample breakfast, lunch and dinner, so they are obese.
      
      Misunderstanding 2: You must drink until you are happy
      
      In China, men mostly drink to socialize. “Everyone knows that drinking is not good, but these days, it is impossible to get anything done in business without drinking. I drink until I pass out almost every day. ”Xiao Lu, who works in sales at a certain company, said. Regardless of the reason for drinking, according to statistics from American experts, the average life span of alcoholics is about 15 years shorter than that of non-drinkers.
      
      Myth 3: A meal without meat means you won’t be full.
      
      Almost all men prefer animal fats. But in fact, red meat like steak may increase the risk of cancer danger. Globally, countries that consume more red meat also have higher rates of prostate cancer. “But not all meat cannot be eaten." Sally points out in the book that white meat (fish, chicken, etc.) has anti-cancer effects. Eating fish 2-4 times a week can reduce a person's risk of colon cancer by 50%.
