Onset of Weight Gain and Health Concerns for Men: Findings from the TAP Programme.

With shown reticence by men to engage with dietary interventions for weight loss, investigations that provide detail on men's perceptions for the causes of weight gain and subsequent concerns over health and image are important. Such discoveries have potential to make a valuable contribution to male gendered programme design aimed at tackling weight gain and promoting good health. Connecting to men to health using their hobbies and interests, this study deployed semi-structured interviews of eight male participants (age > 35 years) enrolled on The Alpha Programme (TAP).
