While aiting for the coffee to brew, chug a glass of water. You know you need it, you're thirsty. Think about it: you urinated before you went to bed. The first thing you did when you woke up was to go to the bathroom. Where do you think all that fluid came from? While you were sleeping, your body took fluid from every organ and every cell and filled your bladder. You need to replenish that fluid.
I know that coffee has water in it. But be smart about it - drink a glass of water first thing.

Breakfast
The first rule of The Mans Diet is 'eat breakfast'. Eat whatever you want for breakfast, you really can't go wrong. The idea is to get your metabolism going. Find something in the fridge/pantry/menu that sounds good and eat it.
You don't need to count calories, just eat breakfast. Anything. Really.

What is The Man's Diet?
First of all, I'm not a health expert. Just a pudgy middle-aged man.
A few years ago, my doctor casually mentioned his diet advice for me:
1. Eat Breakfast
2. Take B vitamins
3, Be Smart. Don't order the double cheeseburger, get the chicken sandwich. Don't eat second helpings. Just be smart about your diet.
Over the years, I've largely ignored that advice. But last year, after intestinal surgery, I thought about that advice often. It makes sense. Men can lose weight easier than women, it's biological. By simply following these three 'rules', you can be healthier.
I'll be updating frequently with tips that will help you stay on track. I'll include easy breakfast ideas, facts about vitamins, and lots of ideas to help you Be Smart.
I encourage your feedback.

Breakfast tip
Today's breakfast tip is a simple food idea. Quick, simple, cheap: yogurt.
You can stock up at the market for just a few dollars and you'll have an ample supply on hand.
Lots of varieties available, try some different ones.
Yogurt is especially good for you. It's a dairy product so it has calcium and a few vitamins. Yogurt is very good for your digestive system.
If there is a perfect breakfast food on The Mans Diet - it's yogurt.
